Most people with this condition are overweight and have a tendency of hyperuricemia which is associated with insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is the basis of metabolic abnormalities that could explain the relationship between the various components of the metabolic syndrome. This study aimed to determine the profile of uric acid in obese adolescent.This was a descriptive study with cross sectional design. Sampling technique used was random sampling method. Samples consisted of obese students determined by measuring their waist circumferences. The students had to fast for at least 8 hours, and then their blood was taken for examination of blood uric acid level. The results showed that there were 54 obese students as samples, and 8 students (14.28%) with hyperuricemia.
