Abstract:
This study was conducted in Khartoum teaching hospital in Sudan,
Khartoum State, during the period from March to June 2012, to asses of
serum uric acid, urea and creatinine among Sudanese patients with type 2
diabetes.
A total of 80 subjects 50 of them were the test group and 30 were the
controls, both male and females were involved. A blood samples from
each participant were taken, specimens were analyzed for serum uric
acid, urea and creatinine. The results were statistically analyzed.
The results obtained showed that, there was increased in the means of
serum uric acid, urea and creatinine levels among the test group
compared with the control group (p < 0.05).
According to the BMI there was positive weak correlation between BMI
and serum urea and creatinine but not with serum uric acid.
The effect of the duration of the disease on the levels of serum uric acid,
urea and creatinine , there was positive weak correlation .
Also the study shows positive weak correlation of serum uric acid with
serum urea levels, but there was negative weak correlation with serum
creatinine.
In conclusion the present study indicates that there was raised serum
levels
of uric acid, urea and creatinine in patients with type 2 diabetes
and this increased was positive weak correlated with the BMI and the
duration of the disease.
Levels of increased serum uric acid were positive weak correlated with
serum urea and negative weak correlated with serum creatinine.
