Sommario

L’iperuricemia è una condizione definita dalla presenza di livelli circolanti di acido urico superiori a 7,0 mg/dl. All’iperuricemia si associano di frequente disfunzione endoteliale e stress ossidativo con aumento di rischio cardiovascolare e disfunzione erettile. Dati della letteratura infatti suggeriscono che l’iperuricemia determina un aumento del rischio di disfunzione erettile. La conferma di tale possibile associazione potrà suggerire la prescrizione di una terapia combinata con farmaci volti a ridurre l’acido urico in eccesso insieme a inibitori della fosfodiesterasi di tipo 5 per contrastare validamente la disfunzione erettile nei soggetti con iperuricemia.
