Abstract: Diseases caused by high uric acid levels are still commonly found in societies world wide. There is a correlation between uric acid level and increased body mass index (BMI). Higher body mass index in this case overweight and obesity is associated with higher risk of insulin resistance and excessive leptin production which may contribute to hyperuricemia. This study was aimed to obtain the profile of serum uric acid level among students with a BMI of ≥23 kg/m2 at Faculty of Medicine, Sam Ratulangi University. This was a descriptive study with a cross sectional design. Samples were obtained by using total sampling method. There were 53 respondents that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed that there were 48 respondents (90.6%) whose serum uric acid levels were within normal limits, one respondent (1.9%) with hyperuricemia, and four respondents (7.5%) with hypouricemia. Conclusion: The majority of respondents had uric acid level within normal limit.Keywords: serum uric acid, body mass index, students Abstrak: Penyakit yang disebabkan akibat tingginya kadar asam urat masih banyak diderita oleh masyarakat dunia sekarang ini. Terdapat hubungan antara kadar asam urat dengan peningkatan indeks massa tubuh (IMT). Semakin tinggi indeks massa tubuh dalam hal ini overweight dan obesitas berhubungan dengan semakin tinggi juga risiko terjadinya resistensi insulin dan produksi leptin yang berlebih sehingga keadaan ini dapat berkontribusi menimbulkan hiperurisemia. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui gambaran kadar asam urat serum pada mahasiswa dengan IMT ≥23 kg/m2 di Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sam Ratulangi. Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif dengan desain potong lintang. Pengambilan sampel dengan menggunakan teknik total sampling. Terdapat 53 responden yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan 48 responden (90,6%) memiliki kadar asam urat serum dalam batas normal, satu responden (1,9%) dengan hiperurisemia, dan empat responden (7,5%) dengan hipourisemia. Simpulan: Sebagian besar responden memiliki kadar asam urat serum dalam batas normal.Kata kunci: asam urat serum, indeks massa tubuh, mahasiswa

Body mass index is the fat content of body whereas hyperuricemia is the condition when serum uric acid level crosses the optimum normal level. Increase in BMI may influence serum uric acid. Objective: To find out the relationship of BMI with serum uric acid level in local population. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Setting: Lady Aitchison hospital Lahore. Period: March 2017- August 2017. Material and Methods: Written informed consent was taken prior to data collection. Detailed history was asked and weight in kilograms and height in meters was noted. Body mass index was calculated. Uric acid was measured by uricase method after taking 1 ml venous blood under aseptic measures. Results: Body mass index and serum uric acid of the subjects were compared with the standard values that were 24.99kg/m2 and 5.7mg/dl and statistical analysis showed a significant difference (p-0.023 and p-0.000) respectively. Simple linear regression revealed 0.391 units change in serum uric acid level with one unit change in BMI. Conclusion: Serum uric acid increased with increase in BMI.

Body Mass Index (BMI) or formerly called Quetelet Index is the measurement for scoring nutrient state in adults by using body weight (in kilogram) and body height (in metre). Obesity and overweight are defined as an abnormality of fat accumulation that can damage our health. Uric acid is a substance that is formed when the breaking process of purine occur. Hyperuricemia are condition that are closely related with gout. Uric acid level increased significantly towards those having obesity. It is  also concluded that obesity was the usual cause in patients with recurrent gout attack. Strong  relation has been found between high BMI with gout arthritis occurance. This research  is a descriptive analytic research with cross sectional design  included 50 diabetic subjects aged over 40 years old.  Subjects picked by consecutive sampling then we examined the weight, height, waist size, blood pressure and laboratory tests for fasting blood sugar and serum uric acid level. With statistical analysis using chi square we found that there was no significant association between BMI and serum uric acid level in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (p>0.005).

Background: To Study Serum Uric Acid level elevation in Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy. Methods: 50 Patients diagnosed as having Pre-eclampsia with age between 18-37 years and 50 controls with similar age group. Results: The mean serum uric acid level in control group was 3.41 ± 0.62 and in patient 7.01 ± 0.58 which was statistically significant (p =0.001). Conclusion: Serum uric acid levels were significantly higher in preeclampsia could be a useful indicator of fetal complication in preeclampsia patients. Keywords: serum uric acid, preeclampsia, laboratory.

AbstractWe performed a retrospective cohort study of 19,237 individuals who underwent at least three health screenings with follow-up periods of over 5 years to find a routinely checked serum marker that predicts lung function decline. Using linear regression models to analyze associations between the rate of decline in the forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and the level of 10 serum markers (calcium, phosphorus, uric acid, total cholesterol, total protein, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatinine, and C-reactive protein) measured at two different times (at the first and third health screenings), we found that an increased uric acid level was significantly associated with an accelerated FEV1 decline (P = 0.0014 and P = 0.037, respectively) and reduced FEV1 predicted % (P = 0.0074 and P = 8.64 × 10–7, respectively) at both visits only in non-smoking individuals. In addition, we confirmed that accelerated forced vital capacity (FVC) and FEV1/FVC ratio declines were observed in non-smoking individuals with increased serum uric acid levels using linear mixed models. The serum uric acid level thus potentially predicts an acceleration in lung function decline in a non-smoking general population.
