Background: The role of uric acid as a risk factor in cases of acute ischaemic stroke is controversial. The present study was conducted with the aim to study the clinical profile and the incidence of stroke in patients with normal and elevated uric acid and its correlation with other risk factors.Methods: This study was conducted in 100 patients with acute ischaemic stroke who were admitted in NSCB Hospital Jabalpur from August 2009 to July 2010.Clinical records of patients and their serum uric acid level was investigated. The severity of neurological deficit was recorded according to the scandinavian stroke scale (SSS). Patients were followed up during hospital stay and outcome was graded by using modified Rankin’s scale (mRS). Finally, collected data were analyzed using Chi square and student t test wherever appropriate. P value <0.05 was considered significant.Results: A total of 100 patients were included in the study. Majority of the patients (57%) were in the age group of 50 to 70 years. Males (54%) were more affected than females (46%). Out of 100, 71 had normal serum uric acid levels in which 35 (49%) patients were above 60 years of age. 29 of them had hyperuricemia in which 20 (69%) were above the age of 60 years. Of 54 males and 46 females hyperuricemia was observed in 16 (55%) and 13 (45%) patients respectively. A significant correlation was observed between hyperuricemia and hypertension (p<0.05). Non-significant correlation was seen between hyperuricemia, diabetes and hyperlipidemia (p>0.05). Significant, positive correlation p<0.05 was present amongst male alcoholics. Association of uric acid with smoking in acute ischaemic stroke patients was found to be statistically insignificant (p>0.05). Majority (83%) of patients were having infarct in MCA artery territory. Majority of patients 20 (69%) with elevated serum uric acid were having SSS score >30. Statistically insignificant (p>0.05) association was observed between mean mRS score in patients with normal serum uric acid Vs patients with hyperuricemia.Conclusions: The prevalence of hyperuricemia in acute ischaemic stroke patients was lower than in normal population. Age, hypertension and alcoholism amongst males showed statistically significant positive correlation with hyperuricemia in patient with acute ischaemic stroke and hence they are considered to be the significant risk factors.

Introduction: To evaluate association of serum uric acid with ischemic stroke patients and assess its relationship with cerebrovascular risk factors. Methods: This was a hospital based cross-sectional observational study conducted at TUTH between May 2016 to May 2017. A total 120 Patients eligible for the study criteria was enrolled for the study. Nonprobability convenience sampling was used for the sampling purpose. All patients ages 40 years or above 40 years with confirmed diagnosis of recent ischaemic stroke were included for the analysis. Results: Mean ages of the enrolled subjects were 60.63 years ± 11.11 SD and eighty three (69.2%) population were male. Sixty one (50.8%) subjects were smoker and twenty seven (22.5%) were alcoholic. Prevalence of hyperuricemia was 17.5%. Serum uric acid level values were higher in male(69.1%) than female(30.9) population..Higher levels of serum uric acid level were found in both male population who smoked and were alcoholic in contrast serum uric acid levels were higher in both female population who were non smoker and did not consume alcohol in comparison to male. .Likewise, both diabetic and dyslipidemic male and female had higher serum uric acid level in comparison to who were non diabetic and did not consume alcohol. The mean score of serum uric acid level in male and female were significa different (P=0.029). Similalry, serum uric acid level was significantly different in smoker and no-smoker group (p=0.049), hypertensive and non hypertensive (p=0.027) and dyslipidemic and non dyslipidemic group (p=0.005) Conclusions: Our study showed high prevalence of hyperuricemia in ischemic stroke patients and there was a potential link between serum uric acid and cerebrovascular risk factors, indicating possible role of uric acid as the risk factor of ischemic stroke. Keywords: cerebrovascular risk factor; Uric acid level, recent ischaemic stroke.

Hyperuricemia is associated with higher mortality in patients suffering from hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular events, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, gout and renal stone formation and it is more in individuals with diabetes. The prevalence of hyperuricemia is high in T2DM. The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between hyperuricemia and blood pressure in T2DM subjects and thus to help the clinician for early diagnosis, treatment and to prevent further complications. Total 350 study subjects were enrolled for this study; among them 203 were T2DM with normal level of serum uric acid level and 147 were T2DM with high serum uric acid level. It was observed that systolic blood pressure was significantly higher (134.5±9.6 mm of Hg) in T2DM with hyperuricemia (p<0.001) than T2DM with normal serum uric acid level (123.3±10.9 mm of Hg). On the other hand diastolic blood pressure was significantly higher (87.1±5.9 mm of Hg) in T2DM with hyperuricemia (p<0.001) than T2DM with normal serum uric acid level (79.6±8.3 mm of Hg). Age (years) showed no significant difference between T2DM with serum uric acid<7 mg/dl and T2DM with serum uric acid>7 mg/dl (p<0.05). In our study it was revealed that males were in greater risk of developing hyperuricemia. BMI was significantly (p<0.001) greater in T2DM subjects who had normal serum uric acid level (27.9±3.8) than with those who had serum uric acid>7 mg/dl (24.4±3.83). No significant differences were found in FBS, blood sugar 2 hours after breakfast, HbA1C, serum creatinine and blood urea between groups.Bangladesh J Med Biochem 2016; 9(2): 49-53

Background: Non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is the commonest form of ACS and a leading global cause of premature morbidity and mortality. Evidences link serum uric acid with short and long-term major adverse outcomes (MACE) in patients with NSTEMI. Objective: To see in-hospital outcome of NSTEMI patients with raised serum uric acid level. Methodology: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the Department of Cardiology, Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital, Sylhet during the period from July, 2017 to June, 2019. Fifty NSTEMI patients with raised serum uric acid (>7mg/dl in male; >6mg/dl in female) level (Group A) and fifty NSTEMI patients with normal serum uric acid level (group B) admitted within 24 hours of symptom onset were consequently enrolled. In-hospital complications and mortality were recorded while continuing standard treatment for the event. Results: The mean age was 60.82 (SD 9.62) years in group A and 49.90 (SD 10.40) years in group B. The mean age of the patients of group A was significantly higher than patients of Group B (p<0.001). Male preponderance was in both groups (84.0% versus 80.0%; p=0.603). Diabetes mellitus (52.0% versus 22.0%; p=0.002), hypertension (78.0% versus 52.0%; p=0.039) and dyslipidaemia (48.0% versus 12.0%; p<0.001) were more frequent in group A than that of group B. But smoking status (70.0% versus 66.0%; p=0.668), family history of CAD (10.0% versus 26.0%; p=0.476) did not differ significantly. Killip class did not differ significantly between group A and group B (p=0.127). In-hospital mortality was 5 (10.0%) patients in group A and 2 (4.0%) patients in group B; did not reach the level of significance (p>0.05) and complications such as post MI angina, cardiogenic shock, acute left ventricular failure, re-infarction, sinus tachycardia, sinus bradycardia, atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, bundle branch block, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation did not differ significantly between the two groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: There is no significant difference between in-hospital outcome (mortality and complications) of NSTEMI patients with raised and normal serum uric acid level.

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.
