Assessment of Serum Uric Acid Levels in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
The role of serum uric acid (SUA) levels as an independent risk factor for vascular disease has been questioned for decades. Recent studies suggest that the elevated SUA levels may predict an increased risk for cerebrovascular (CV) events including stroke. If the levels of other antioxidants like ascorbic acid are low, SUA can work as pro-oxidant. Various studies showed that elevated SUA levels can result in endothelial dysfunction which can lead to vascular disease. An association between SUA and inflammatory markers has also been discovered.
