Association of serum uric acid an independent risk factor in acute ischemic stroke
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
The aim was to study the association between serum uric acid and acute ischemic non embolic stroke. 1oo patients of first ever life time acute ischemic stroke admitted in D. Y. Patil hospital were included. The blood samples were taken and CT scans were done within 24 hrs of onset of stroke. Blood samples were sent for biochemical analysis and 2D ECHO was done. The patients were further evaluated for presence of additional risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, adverse lipid profile, smoking and alcoholism. Out of 100 patients 68 were males, 32 were females. 49% were having more than 8mg/dl uric acid level. 53% of them hypertensive and 35% were diabetic. 24% were smokers and 21% were alcoholics. This study shows that elevated uric acid is strongly associated with an increased risk for the development of acute ischemic stroke. Lowering of serum uric acid level can be considered as one of the preventing modalities for stroke while treating high risk population. Keywords: Serum uric acid, acute ischemic stroke
