[Levels of uric acid in serum in patients with metabolic syndrome].
The aim of our investigation was to study the peculiarities of serum uric acid (UA) levels in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) and without it, also correlations between UA and parameters of MS features. 41 patients (mean age - 37,8+/-13,7 years) have been investigated. MS was defined by definitions of WHO (2002), ATPIII and Society of Georgia Endocrinologists (SGE). Exclusion criterion served the gout. Levels of all parameters of MS features and serum UA have been determined. MS was diagnosed in 48,7% of cases. Study group consisted of these patients, and control group - patients without MS. Serum UA levels were significantly higher in the study group in comparison with the control (6,6+/-1,4 vs. 5,4+/-1,3 mg/dl, p=0,007; respectively). In main group the cases of hyperuricemia have been documented significantly frequently than in control (65,0% vs. 33,3%, p=0,043; respectively). Obtained results shown that UA levels significantly higher and hyperuricemia cases significantly frequent at MS, which have to be taking into account during symptomatic treatment of patients.
