2071-P: Changes in Serum Uric Acid Correlated with Sex Hormones Variations for Chinese Obese Patients Undergoing Sleeve Gastrectomy

Abstract

Background: Hyperuricemia (HUA) and sex hormone imbalance in obese patients can be reversed by bariatric surgery. However, the relationships between changes in serum uric acid (SUA) and sex hormones variations after bariatric surgery is unexplored. We aimed to investigate the correlations between changes in SUA and sex hormones variations after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in Chinese obese patients in relation to gender. Methods: We enrolled 133 severely obese patients who underwent LSG in this study. SUA, sex hormones, and relevant metabolic parameters were compared pre- and 12 months post-LSG. Results: At baseline, HUA was more common in males than in females. Twelve months after LSG, significant improvements in BMI and glucolipid metabolic indices were noted. SUA levels and the prevalence of HUA were declined significantly in both gender while the changes in SUA and percentage of SUA variations were significantly greater in females than in males (all P<0.01). In addition, we observed significant increase in estradiol (E2) and decrease in total testosterone (TT) in females and increase in TT in males (P=0.018, P=0.006, P <0.001, respectively). In a multiple regression model, after adjusting for age and changes in BMI, fasting insulin (FINS), and HOMA-IR, SUA reduction correlated significantly with increased E2 (β=-0.645, P=0.001) and decreased TT (β=0.503, P=0.014) in females, and increased TT (β=-0.909, P=0.008) in males. Conclusion: LSG promotes more profound improvement of SUA levels in female obese patients than in males, and SUA reduction after surgery correlated significantly with different sex hormones changes in males and females.
