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: Little and sparse information is present in our population onassociation between serum uric acid and essential hypertension .Increased serum uric acid isrelated with elevated blood pressure in different research studies. The relationship betweenserum uric acid level and high blood pressure can be difficult to assess because drugs for highblood pressure usually affect uric acid level. Objectives: The objective of our study is to evaluatethe association of serum uric acid to severity and duration of essential hypertension at LiaquatUniversity Hospital (tertiary care) Hyderabad / Jamshoro Methodology: Study Design: Casecontrol and prospective study. Setting: Medical wards and Out Patient Medicine Department ofLiaquat University Hospital Hyderabad / Jamshoro. Period: One year i.e. from 20th March 2013to 19th February 2014. Methodology: A total of 75 high blood pressure subjects aged 35 yearsand above were included as cases with same number(75) of age & sex matched normal bloodpressure subjects as controls after excluding, Secondary hypertension, metabolic syndrome,Diabetes Mellitus, age <40 ;>70 years, hypothyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, Ischemic heartdisease, congestive cardiac failure,Alcohol abuse, Renal Insufficiency, glomerulonephritis,pyelonephritis, hereditary nephropathy, patients on drugs –, ethambutol,levodopa pyrazinamide,low dose asprin, Cytotoxic drugs, nicotinic acid ,thiazide diuretics.. Qualitative and quantitativedata were evaluated in SPSS version 16.0. Results: The mean serum uric acid level was 6.3± 1.4 mg/dl vs 4.5 ± 1.2 mg/dl in case (n = 75) and control patients (n = 75) respectively. Atotal of 23 (30.6%, n = 75) patients in cases and 8 (10.6%) subjects in control had high serumuric acid (Odds Ratio 2.13, p <0.05). Therefore, the frequency of increased serum uric acidlevel subjects & mean serum uric acid level were significantly greater in hypertensive cases,as compared to those of healthy normal blood pressure Controls. Serum uric acid correlatedpositively with both systolic blood pressure (r=0.132, p<0.01) and diastolic blood pressure(r=0.214; p<0.01). Conclusion: High serum uric acid is frequent in our populace with essentialhypertension and there is relationship between serum uric acid level and blood pressure.Further large scale research studies on the pathophysiologic significance of high serum uricacid in these high blood pressure patients are in further need.

Background: Few studies have assessed the relation of uric acid level with the severity of coronary  artery disease (CAD). This study investigated the association between high uric acid levels with the  presence and severity of CAD.Materials and Methods: This study was designed as an observational cohort study. The study was  composed of 180 patients admitted at our institution due to symptoms related to CAD. Patients  having angiographic evidence of stenosis in coronary artery were as case group and without stenosis  control group. Patients with high uric acid (hyperuricemia) were defined as serum uric acid  concentration ?7.0mg/dl or ?420 ?mol/L in men and ?6mg/dl or ?360 ? mol/L in women. The  presence of CAD has been defined as the Gensini score being ?1.  Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the mean uric acid levels of patients  with and without CAD (358.23±71.11 ?mol/l vs251.32±54.92 ?mol/l respectively, p<0.001). There  was a statistically significant difference between ejection fraction of patients with and without CAD  (54.50±9.25 vs. 63.16±6.56 respectively, p?0.001). Spearman correlation analysis demonstrated a  positive correlation between the serum uric acid level and the severity of CAD (p=?0.001, r=0.39).  When patients were classified into four groups according to their Gensini score, mean serum uric  acid level was found to be significantly increased across the tertiles, and a statistically significant  difference was detected between the tertiles (p= ?0.001).  Conclusion: In conclusion, a significant association has been found between serum uric acid level  and the presence and severity of CAD. In addition to the evaluation of conventional risk factors in  daily clinical practice, the measurement of uric acid level might provide significant prognostic  benefits in terms of global cardiovascular risk and management of the patients.

Introduction: Psoriasis is a common, chronic, inflammatory and proliferative condition of the skin, associated with various disorders including metabolic syndrome. High serum uric acid levels are also associated with metabolic syndrome. Hyperuricemia is associated with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Objectives: To find out the association of serum uric acid with psoriasis. Materials and Method:  It was a case-control study including 104 patients, among them 52 were psoriatic patients (case) and 52 had disease other than psoriasis (control) after matching for age and sex. The study was conducted at Department of Dermatology, Universal College of Medical Science, from January- December 2017. Clinical examination and proforma documentation including patient details, laboratory values of serum uric acid level, Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score were studied. Results:  Mean SUA in psoriasis patients was 4.70±1.37 mg/dl in female, 5.57±1.18 mg/dl in male whereas 4.85±0.74 mg/dl in female and 4.34 ± 0.98 mg/dl in male respectively in control group (p=0.002). Six (18.88%) male and three (15.78%) female patients with psoriasis had higher serum uric acid value whereas only four (3.84%) patient  had  higherserum uric acid  value in control group (p=0.012). There was association between serum uric acid and psoriasis. Conclusion: Our study concludes that serum uric acid level is increased in psoriasis patients when compared with controls. Monitoring of psoriatic patients for high serum uric acid levels during treatment and follow up should be done to prevent the its deleterious effect on psoriasis.

Diabetic nephropathy is one of the microvascular complications in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Diagnosis of diabeticnephropathy is based on any history of DM, a decrease in Glomerular Estimation Filtrate Rate (eGFR) using the CKD-Epiformula, and albuminuria. The role of serum uric acid level in diabetic nephropathy remains an ongoing debate. Serum uricacid levels may be the cause or the result of diabetic nephropathy. This study aimed to analyze serum uric acid levels inpatients with and without diabetic nephropathy and determine its correlation with diabetic nephropathy. This study wasperformed at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital, Makassar, by taking the data from the medical record of type 2 DMpatients from January to April 2018. Fifty-nine patients with diabetic nephropathy and 150 patients without diabeticnephropathy participated in this study. An independent T-test and Pearson's correlation test were used for statisticalanalysis. There was a significant difference in uric acid level between patients with and without diabetic nephropathy(9.57±3.42 mg/dL vs. 6.41±2.86 mg/dL, p < 0.001). There was significant correlation between uric acid serum levels with urea(p < 0.001, r=0.585), creatinine (p<0.001, r=0.413) and eGFR (p < 0.001, r=-0.525) in patients with diabetic nephropathy. Uricacid levels in patients with diabetic nephropathy were higher than patients without diabetic nephropathy. Higher levels ofurea and the serum creatinine led to higher levels of serum uric acid. Contrastingly, a lower eGFR rate led to higher levels ofuric acid.
