Study on the relationship between serum uric acid and cerebral infarction

Objective:To analyze the serum level of uric acid(UA) in patients with cerebral infarction,and explore the relationship between the serum UA and cerebral infarction.Methods:Four hundred cerebral infarction patients were divided into the low serum UA group,normal serum UA group and high serum UA group.The serum levels of UA,low density lipoprotein cholesterin,triglyceride,total cholesterol and C-reactive protein were analyzed in three groups.The relationships between the serum levels of UA and degree of nervous functional defect between three groups were compared.Results:The differences of the levels of triglycerides,total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterin between three group were not statistically significant(P>0.05).With the increasing of the serum level of UA,the degree of nervous functional defect significantly decreased(P<0.01).Conclusions:High serum UA level can play a protection effect on severe neurologic deficit in cerebral infarction patients.
