Abstract
Aim: To correlate diabetes patients' blood uric acid levels with their duration of diabetes. Materials and methods: This study was conducted on 100 diabetic patients(30-50 years).diabetic patients with no history of any other systemic complications and metabolic disorders like obesity and gout . Each diabetic patient was subjected to detailed general examination. A biochemical investigation for fasting serum uric acid levels estimated. Results: A positive correlation present between SUA and duration of type 2 diabetes is statistically significant. As the duration of diabetes increases than there is an increase in the serum uric acid concentration in type 2 diabetes patients (r = +0.630,p<0.001). Conclusion: Drugs that reduce the serum uric acid level may become effective in preventing the development and prognosis of insulin resistance, a major factor in type 2 diabetes. The significant positive correlation between serum uric acid and the duration of type 2 diabetes suggests the uric acid acts as an independent biochemical marker for type 2 diabetes prognosis.
