Abstract
Aim: The relationship between elevated serum uric acid level and metabolic syndrome (MS) has been debated. There is no data concerning this relation in Iranian population-based studies. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of hyperuricamia and its association with MS in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).
Patients and Methods: This was a cross- sectional study in 1978 diabetic patients. Hyperuricamia was defined as uric acid ≥ 7 and ≥ 5.5 mg/dl for men and women respectively. Diagnosis of metabolic syndrome was based on ATPIII criteria. Clinical and biochemical parameters in hyperuricaemic and normouricaemic patients compared with other.
Results: The prevalence of hyperuricaemia and metabolic syndrome was 12.7% and 65.5% respectively. The prevalence of MS significantly increased in the highest quartile of uric acid levels compared with lowest quartile (74.4% vs 55.9%, p<0.001). Serum uric acid had positive association with cholesterol, triglyceride, non-HDL cholesterol and a negative association with fasting blood sugar (FBS), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) and HDL cholesterol. Possible independent biochemical predictors of hyperuricamia were cholesterol, triglyceride, creatnine and FBS.
Conclusion: The prevalence of MS and its components increases with increasing levels of uric acid in type 2 diabetes. Regular assessment of uric acid could give information for predicting of MS and prevention of atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes.
Keywords: Diabetes, hypertension, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, uric acid.

Advancing Diabetic Wound Healing: Mechanisms and Interventions
In recent years, diabetic wounds have become a global health concern with the increase in the incidence of diabetes. Diabetic wounds are a kind of chronic and refractory ulcer. It is generally due to the microcirculatory disturbances and the reduced levels of endogenous growth factors. Delayed cutaneous wound healing is ...read more
Oxidative and inflammatory responses in the development of secondary diabetic complications
Diabetes, along with its associated secondary complications, represents a significant global health challenge, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, reduced physical activity, environmental pollutants, and stress are pivotal factors in the onset of diabetes, particularly type-2 diabetes. Poorly managed hyperglycemia can lead to various complications, including neuropathy, ...read more
