Clinical Trial Summary

Uric acid is the end product of dietary or endogenous purines degradation, and hyperuricemia is one of the most common metabolic disorders. A growing body of evidence, comprising a great deal of cross-sectional studies and several prospective ones, also indicates that hyperuricemia is associated with increased prevalence, incidence, and disease severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Capitalizing on a cohort study in China, the investigators are aimed to assess the associations of SUA trajecteries with remission of NAFLD in NAFLD individuals and examined whether the association differs across subpopulations.

Description:

A cohort study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between the SUA trajecteries and remission of NAFLD. The study enrolled employees who were attending their annual health examination. Furrhermore, the investigators are aimed to explore whether the association differs across subpopulations.

Primary	the severity fatty liver evaluated by hepatic ultrasonic examination	Hepatic ultrasonic examination was performed in all subjects by a trained ultrasonographist who was unaware of the clinical and laboratory data. Hepatic steatosis was diagnosed by characteristic echo patterns according to conventional criteria, such as the evidence of diffuse hyperechogenicity of the liver relative to the kidneys, ultrasound beam attenuation, and poor visualization of intrahepatic structures.	2 years
