Study of Serum Uric Acid in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Association with Cardiovascular Risk Factors
Dr. Alisha Husain | Dr. Sharath Kumar D Shah | Dr. Faiz Attar
Abstract: Objective: This study aims to investigate the correlation between serum uric acid levels and cardiovascular risk factors in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). The research focuses on understanding the potential role of serum uric acid as a biomarker for cardiovascular complications in T2DM patients. Methods: A cross - sectional study was conducted on a cohort of individuals diagnosed with T2DM. SUA levels were measured, and participants were categorized into separate groups based on their cardiovascular risk factors, including hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, and smoking status. Statistical analyses and the two determined cardiovascular risk assessment criteria were associated. Results: Preliminary findings suggest a strong correlation that is positive between elevated cardiovascular risk factors and serum uric acid levels in people within individuals with T2DM. Specifically, participants with hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, and those who smoke exhibited higher SUA levels compared to their counterparts without these risk factors. The data also indicate a potential link between hyperuricemia and an increased likelihood of developing cardiovascular complications in T2DM. Conclusion: This study underscores the significance of evaluating A possible marker for determining T2DM patients who might experience cardiovascular problems. To clarify the underlying mechanisms and investigate if therapies aimed at lowering uric acid levels could be helpful in lowering cardiovascular risk in this population, more study is required on SUA levels and as an elevated risk. The outcomes of this investigation may contribute valuable insights for the development of preventive strategies and personalized management approaches in individuals with T2DM.
