Abstract

Many studies have demonstrated that Lp(a), a plasma lipoprotein similar to LDL, is associated with the development of atherosclerotic diseases1, 2. However, there have been few studies on serum Lp(a) concentration in patients with gout who are frequently complicated with atherosclerotic diseases. Therefore, we measured the serum concentration of Lp(a) in patients with gout to investigate whether Lp(a) contributes to the high incidence of atherosclerotic diseases in gout.
