    ABSTRACT: Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Serum urate has been implicated in hypertension and cardiovascular disease, but it is not known whether it is exerting a causal effect. To investigate this, we performed Mendelian randomization analysis using data from UK Biobank, Million Veterans Program and genome-wide association study consortia, and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. The main Mendelian randomization analyses showed that every 1-SD increase in genetically predicted serum urate was associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease (odds ratio, 1.19 [95% CI, 1.10-1.30]; P=4×10−5), peripheral artery disease (1.12 [95% CI, 1.03-1.21]; P=9×10−3), and stroke (1.11 [95% CI, 1.05-1.18]; P=2×10−4). In Mendelian randomization med

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Bloodwork

  • serum uric acid level Moderate

    rs12214118-A allele associates with elevated uric acid, increasing gout and chronic kidney disease risk

    Annual serum uric acid testing; if persistently >6.8 mg/dL, discuss gout prophylaxis with physician

Diet

  • limit high-purine foods Moderate

    Dietary purines are converted to uric acid; reduction may mitigate genetic elevation risk

    Limit purine-rich foods (red meat, organ meats, high-fructose beverages) to 1-2 times weekly

Discuss with your doctor

  • genetic predisposition to elevated uric acid and gout risk Moderate

    Clinician assessment of individual gout risk factors and need for monitoring or prophylaxis
