• Recent studies have shown that increases in serum UA levels are associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF); the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between serum uric acid and total diuretic dose received during hospitalization in hospitalized patients with acute exacerbation of heart failure. The main purpose of this study is to determine the role of uric acid as a biomarker that can be a substitute for pro-BNP in clinical evaluation and the need for diuretics in hospitalized patients with acute heart failure. After approving the plan in the Research Council of the Heart Department and obtaining an ethical code from the Regional Committee on Research Ethics (Human Subjects Studies), the researcher referred to the archives of our center, the case of 100 patients diagnosed with acute heart failure. Cardiac patients were selected, and the information required for the study was collected using a pre-prepared data collection form, and the information was entered into SPSS software after categorization and appropriate analysis and statistical tests were performed on it. Were performed and in all statistical tests the statistical significance level was considered 0.05: RESULTS: 100 patients with acute heart failure were included in this study with a mean age of 63.43 ± 14.78 years. 66% of them were men. The mean dose of furosemide in these patients was 680.92 ± 377.47 mg and the mean serum uric acid level in these patients was 8.55 ± 2.50 mg / dL. In the study of the relationship between the variables, there was a significant relationship between the dose of furosemide received with the serum level of serum uric acid (P = 0.017, r = 0.248 and P = 0.009, r = -0.267, respectively). There is also a significant relationship between serum uric acid level and patient mortality (P = 0.013, r = 0.247). However this relationship lost its significance after multivariate analysis. There is a significant relationship between serum uric acid level and diuretic use. However, in-hospital mortality is not related to uric acid levels at admission.
