Objectives

comparison between PsA patients with and without hyperuricemia and assessment of the effect of hyperuricemia on clinical presentation, disease activity, disease severity, and associated comorbidities in PsA patients.

Methods

76 PsA patients with hyperuricemia and 74 PsA patients with normal uric acid as control were included. Demographic, clinical, comorbidities, and laboratory data were collected. Hyperuricemia threshold ≥ 60 mg/L.
