Brief Summary

The prevalence of hyperuricemia has rarely been investigated in developing countries Hyperuricemia, or raised serum uric acid (SUA), is the condition closely associated with gout due to the deposition of monosodium urate crystals in peripheral joints and soft tissues. Hyperuricemia is associated with an increased risk for incident hypertension, independent of traditional hypertension risk factors. This risk appears more pronounced in younger individuals and women. Cross-sectional studies show an association of hyperuricemia with the presence of CKD. Insulin resistance plays a potentially key role in the causal relationship between metabolic syndrome, type 2 Diabetes and hyperuricemia. Furthermore, it is likely that hyperuricemia and insulin resistance share a bidirectional causal effect. The rationale of this study is to determine prevalence of hyperuricemia in Pakistan.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Prevalence of Hyperuricemia

  To find out the frequency uric acid levels in Pakistani general population

  4 weeks

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Informed consent was obtained from all patients and their attendant coming to clinics. Those who agreed to be part of this study were asked a questionnaire about co-morbidity and symptoms. Uric acid levels were assessed by using UASure Blood Uric Acid Monitoring System. Male with uric acid levels greater than 7 mg/dl and female greater than 6 mg/dl were classified as hyperuricemia.

You may qualify if:

• Informed Consent given
