Aims & Objective: To study serum uric acid level in metabolic syndrome.
Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted on fifty patients with metabolic syndrome as per IDF criteria and waist circumference, blood pressure, serum uric acid were estimated.
Results: There is significant correlation found between serum uric acid levels and hypertension and also between serum uric acid levels and waist circumference of metabolic syndrome patients.
Conclusion: Patients with higher serum uric acid levels has significant correlation with components of metabolic syndrome is one of the risk factor in development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.
