To Study the Serum Uric Acid Levels in Hemorrhagic Stroke Patients

Background: Cerebrovascular diseases include some of the most common and devastating disorders. Stroke is the main cause of disability and mortality among the ageing population, and about 87% of all cases are ischemic stroke while 15% are hemorrhagic stroke. Methods: Our study was conducted on 50 patients studied, 25 were males and 25 were females. Male: female ratio was 1:1. The controls were appropriately age and sex matched. Results: Mean SUA level in cases was 6.02 ± 1.19 mg/dl whereas it was 5.11 ± 1.30 mg/dl for controls. Mean SUA level was significantly higher in cases as compared to controls (P =0.009244). Conclusion: Our study shows significantly higher uric acid level in cases as compared to control population. Also, serum uric acid level has significant association with smoking, significant positive correlation with total cholesterol and significant inversely correlated with HDL cholesterol.
