Introduction: Serum uric acid levels have been reported to be associated with a variety of cardiovascular

conditions. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) consists of central obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL

cholesterol, hyperglycemia and hypertension.

Aim: Serum uric acid and its correlation with triglyceride in metabolic syndrome.

Material and methods: 100 patients with MetS were conveniently recruited. For the purpose of analysis

study participants were grouped into, group-1(control) and group-2 (case) triacylglycerol was defined with

cut-off ?150mg/dl in both men and women. Uric acid in Males: 3.5-7.2 mg/dl, Females: 2.6-6.0 mg/dl.

Metabolic syndrome was defined by the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III

Criteria with adjusted waist circumference cutoffs (90 cm for males; 80 cm for females). The association

between serum uric acid quartiles and metabolic syndrome was assessed using multivariate logistic

regression.

Result: Shows mean uric acid in cases 6.20±1.56 and in controls 4.6840±.6264119, highly significant (p

.000). Shows triglyceride in cases 197.86±122.500 and in controls 127.22±28.524, highly significant (p.ooo).

Conclusion: When compared among males and females, there was increased percentage of elevated serum

uric acid in females. Metabolic syndrome is a group of risk factors that include abdominal fat, high uric acid

and unhealthy cholesterol levels.
