Abstract:

Objective To investigate the correlation of HLA-B*5801 gene carrying status and laboratory testing indicators in patients with gouty arthritis(GA). Methods Totally,120 GA patients were enrolled to determine HLA-B*5801 genotype,uric acid(UA),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),alkaline phosphatase(ALP),C-reactive protein(CRP),the percentage of neutrophil,the percentage of lymphocyte,the percentage of eosinophil(EO%),mean platelet volume(MPV) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),and the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio(NLR) and ALT/ALP ratio were calculated. A total of 50 healthy subjects were enrolled as healthy control group. According to the levels of UA,120 GA patients were classified into low-level UA(UA<420 μmol/L) group,medium-level UA(UA 420-600 μmol/L) group and high-level UA(UA>600 μmol/L) group. The correlation between laboratory testing indicators with UA was evaluated by Correl analysis. Results Among the 120 patients,35(29.2%) cases carried HLA-B *5801 gene,the UA,NLR,EO%,CRP,ESR and ALT/ALP ratio in GA group were higher than those in healthy control group(P<0.05),and MPV was lower(P<0.05). Compared with HLA-B*5801 gene carrying group,EO% and MPV were higher than those in non-carrying group(P<0.05),while UA was lower than that in non-carrying group(P<0.05),and NLR,CRP,ESR,ALT/ALP ratio had no statistical significance(P>0.05). ALT/ALP ratios were increased in turn among low-level,medium-level and high-level UA groups(P<0.05). EO% in medium-level UA group was lower than that in high-level UA group(P<0.05),and NLR and ESR were higher than those in high-level UA group and low-level UA group(P<0.05). MPV and CRP had no statistical significance among the 3 groups(P>0.05). NLR,ESR and ALT/ALP ratio were positively correlated with UA(r values were 0.959,0.953 and 0.994,respectively,P<0.05),while MPV was negatively correlated with UA(r=-0.998,P<0.05). There was no correlation between EO%,CRP and UA(r values were 0.647 and 0.091,respectively,P>0.05). Conclusions The gene carrying rate of HLA-B*5801 gene in patients with GA is high. The determination of HLA-B*5801 gene and related laboratory testing indicators will be helpful to comprehensively evaluate the disease status of patients.
