Abstract
Background: Cerebrovascular diseases include some of the most common and devastating disorders.
Methods: This study is conducted among 50 patients of acute stroke with CT scan evidence of hemorrhage (ICH and SAH) and CT scan showing no evidence of ischemia. A total of 50 subjects age and sex matched controls (who do not have acute stroke) were also selected
Results: The Mean serum uric acid level in cases was 6.022 ± 1.199 mg/dl whereas it was 5.112 ± 1.301 mg/dl for controls. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The study concludes that serum uric acid level was significantly elevated in patients of acute stroke.
Keywords: Stroke, Uric acid, Cerebrovascular diseases.
