A systematic review and meta-analysis of the hyperuricemia risk from certain metals

Abstract The relationship between exposure to certain metals and the risk of hyperuricemia (HUA) has biological plausibility, yet prior studies have presented inconsistent findings. We aim to clarify the relationship between exposure to certain metals and HUA using a systematic review and meta-analysis approach. We searched the Web of Science, Embase, MEDLINE, Pubmed, Corchrane and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases from inception through December, 2021 in order to identify studies that assessed the relationships between metals and the risk of HUA. Data were pooled by random-effects models and expressed as pooled odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The risk of bias was assessed using a tool from Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Twenty eligible articles (nineteen cross-sectional studies and one cohort) were included in our analysis, involving 63,283 participants in total. The studies showed that arsenic (pooled OR = 1.702, 95% CI: 1.44, 2.011; n = 6, I2 = 29.5%), calcium (pooled OR = 1.765, 1.111, 2.804; 4, 82.3%), cadmium (pooled OR = 1.199,1.020, 1.410; 11, 38.5%) and lead (pooled OR = 1.564,1.205, 2.030; 11, 72.9%) exposure were, all linked to an increased risk of HUA. Exposure to molybdenum (pooled OR = 0.804, 0.724, 0.975, 3, 0%) was linked to a decreased risk of HUA, however. Exposure to arsenic, calcium, cadmium and lead is associated with an increased risk of HUA. Molybdenum exposure was associated with a decreased prevalence of HUA; however, aluminum, cobalt, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, mercury, selenium, thallium and zinc are not associated with HUA risk. Further experimental studies are warranted to decipher the mechanisms by which exposure to the above metals affect HUA risk. The findings reinforced the importance of metals in the HUA risk, and provided a reference for legislation to prevent HUA and protect people's health..
