Relationship between serum uric acid and metabolic syndrome in plateau areas

AIM:To analyze the relationship between serum uric acid and metabolic syndrome in high altitude areas. METHODS: One hundred and eightyeight patients were divided into two groups: normal group and high uric acid group, and lipids, blood sugar, hypertension, insulin and Creactive protein were detected in all the cases. Independent samples Ttest was used to compare the results of the two groups. RESULTS: Marked differences were observed in lipids, blood sugar, hypertension, insulin and Creactive protein between the two groups. Obvious statistical significance was found between serum uric acid and metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSION: Serum uric acid is closely related to metabolic syndrome in plateau areas. The risk of metabolic syndrome is high in patients with high uric acid.
