Abstract
Objective To investigate the relation between serum uric acid ( UA ) levels and ischaemic stroke.Methods 78 patients with ischaemic stroke were assigned to the study group and 80 healthy people were enrolled as control.Serum UA levels were compared between the two group.The association of UA with disease serverity and prognosis in patients was analyzed.Results UA levels were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group ( [375.93 ± 42.67]mol/L vs.[260.43 ±24.78]mol/L,P＜ 0.01 ).Serum UA levels increased gradually in all the patients with slight,moderate,or severe ischemic stroke ( P＜ 0.05 for all comparisons ).The number of the patients who were not cured or were dead was greater in the patients with an elevated UA level than in those with a normal UA level( P＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions Serum uric acid level was closely associated with the disease severity and prognosis in patients with ischemic stroke. Key words: Ischemic stroke; Uric acid
