Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Interdependence of Serum Uric Acid (SUA) and Metabolic Syndrome (MeS) is a controversial matter with an increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. Nearly 33% of Indians suffer from metabolic syndrome making it a public health problem due to its sheer prevalence and rate of increase. Methodology: This was a cross sectional study done among 100 patients with metabolic syndrome aged 18-70 during 1 year period in a tertiary care hospital in South India with an aim to find prevalence of hyperuricemia among them. Results: Majority 94 % were females. 90% had history of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and 63% had history of Hypertension (HTN). Among 100 subjects 42 had hyperuricemia; level of uric acid>7 mg/dl in blood. Hyperuricemia was significantly associated with Diabetes Mellitus and female gender. Conclusion: Association between hyperuricemia and Metabolic Syndrome should be scrutinised further for prevention and early identification of chronic disease.
