Get only one field from profile I have a profile field called "myutr" that I need to pass to the browser, for ALL pages, via js 

drupal_add_js(....)


I know that $user does not contain profile fields so to get the value of this field I need to load it via 

$account = user_load($user);
drupal_add_js($account-&gt;myutr); //I know that is not the correct code


But in a big site with more and more page views call user_load only for a field is for me a bad perfomance practice. So: is there a possibility to load only this field via drupal standard api ? Or I need to call db_query(....) ? 

Thanks.
Have a look at this article, I've used the method in the past.
