Does Serum Uric Acid Predict Cardiovascular Events in Older Adults? Insights from a Berlin Cohort
Overview: What the BIS study examined Recent findings from a population-based prospective cohort in Berlin raise important questions about serum uric acid (SUA) and its role in cardiovascular risk among older adults. Using data from the Berlin Initiative Study (BIS), researchers followed 2,058 community-dwelling seniors (average age about 80) to explore whether SUA levels predict…

Serum Uric Acid and Cardiovascular Risk in Older Adults: Insights from the Berlin Initiative Study
Background and purpose Serum uric acid (SUA) is a biomarker that has drawn attention for potential links to cardiovascular disease and mortality. A population-based prospective cohort study using data from the Berlin Initiative Study (BIS) examined whether SUA levels in community-dwelling older adults influence the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and death. The…

SDMA as a Predictor of Cardiovascular Risk in CKD Patients
New findings reshape how we view blood markers in CKD and cardiovascular risk When researchers at the University of Texas at Arlington set out to understand why people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) often die from heart problems rather than kidney failure, they revisited a long-standing assumption about blood markers. For years, scientists highlighted ADMA…

Inactive SDMA Emerges as Potential Predictor of Cardiovascular Risk in CKD
New Findings Reframe SDMA’s Role in CKD-Related Cardiovascular Risk When researchers at the University of Texas at Arlington set out to understand why people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at heightened risk for heart problems, they revisited a long-standing assumption. For years, ADMA—asymmetric dimethylarginine—has been considered a warning sign for vascular dysfunction. But a…

SDMA Emerges as Predictor of Cardiovascular Risk in CKD
New insight into SDMA and cardiovascular risk in chronic kidney disease Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition where the risk of heart and blood vessel problems often overshadows the dysfunction of the kidneys themselves. For years, researchers have highlighted ADMA — asymmetric dimethylarginine — as a warning sign of vascular trouble. But a recent…
