Abstract
Diabetes mellitus has become a significant health challenge overall. It is a chronic, heterogeneous metabolic disorder that manifests as hyperglycemia and is characterized by impaired insulin secretion, insulin resistance, and increased hepatic glucose production. Microvascular dysfunction is unique to diabetes and characterized by nonocclusive microcirculatory disease. Hyperuricemia has been found to be associated insulin resistance, and consequently with type 2 diabetes. Potentially important biological effects of uric acid relate to endothelial dysfunction by inducing antiproliferative effects on endothelium and impairing nitric oxide production and inflammation. Here an attempt has been made to study the level of serum uric acid in Type 2 diabetes mellitus and correlating it with development of microvascular complications.
Keywords: Serum Uric Acid, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
