Determining correlation of serum uric acid and Lipid levels in Female patients of Acute Ischemic stroke

Background: Stroke is a growing disease and it is the second common cause of deathin the world after coronary heart disease. In patients with acute stroke hyperuricemiawas significantly higher than normal population with associated dyslipidemia..Femalesex is still an independent predictor ofpoor prognosis even when adjusting for otherpredictors of functional outcome.Aim: Serum uric acid levels and serum lipid levels in female patients with ischemiccerebrovascular accident.Material and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study carried out between July2019 – September 2019, which included 44 female cases of acute ischemic stroke.Serum uric acid levels and serum lipid levels was done in all the patients and wasstatistically analyzed.Result:Among the 44 female patients, 33 (75%) were postmenopausal and 11(25%)werepremenopausal. The mean age in study was 58.09±15.23.Hyperurecimic patients were higher inpostmenopausal women as compared topremenopausal The study showed that patients were withboth dyslipidemia andhyperuricemia.The positive correlation was present between serum uric acid level andTotal Cholesterol, Triglyceride, LDL level. The negative correlation was presentbetween serum uric acid level and HDL level. The patients with decreased HDL withHyperuricemia were 15.90% (7 out of 44).Conclusion: Hyperuricemia and its accompanying dyslipidemia can be considered asthe risk factor for acute ischemic stroke.
