Study of uric acid levels among patients with myocardial infarction (MI) attending a teaching hospital
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Biochemistry - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim: The present study aimed to assess the correlation of serum uric acid levels with CK-MB in patients with MI attending a teaching hospital. Methods: A total of 50 study subjects with MI were selected for this study and divided into controls (25 subjects) and cases (25 patients) from the medicine ward of MNR Medical College and hospital, during the period from March 2017 to August 2017. Results: Uric acid levels were compared between the controls and cases. Highly statistical significance observed in the levels of serum uric acid (p<0.0001). Meanwhile, the correlation was done between serum uric acid and CK-MB levels among cases (y = 10.856x - 7.1587, R² = 0.8039) Conclusion: The present study identified that the patients are at high risk with MI those who have the high serum uric acid levels. Serum uric acid had a significant statistical correlation with CK-MB levels in patients with myocardial infarction. The above results of our study showed that hyperuricemia associated with myocardial infarction by promoting vascular dysfunction and coronary thrombosis.
