Prediabetes is a glucose homeostasis condition characterized by decreased absorption to glucose or reduced fasting glucose. Both of these are reversible stages of intermediate hyperglycaemia providing an increased type II DM risk. Pre-diabetes can therefore be viewed as a significant reversible stage which could lead to type II DM, and early detection of prediabetes may contribute to type II DM prevention. Prediabetes patients are at high risk for potential type II diabetes, and 70 percent of them appear to develop Type II diabetes within 10 years. The present study includes total 200 subjects that include 100 Prediabetic patients, 50 T2DM patients and 50 healthy individual. Blood samples were collected from the subjects were obtained for FBS, PPBS, Uric acid and Creatinine estimation, from OPD and General Medicine Wards. Present study showed low levels of Serum Uric Acid in prediabetic and T2DM patients were decreased as compared to control group, while the level of creatinine in prediabetic and diabetic were elevated as compared to control group, were not statically significant. Serum Uric Acid was high in control group and low in prediabetic and diabetic patients. Serum creatinine was declined in control group and increased in prediabetic and diabetic patients with increasing Fasting blood glucose level.

Background and Aim: Morbidity and mortality from non-communicable diseases, particularly diabetes are increasing rapidly in Pakistan, the prevalence has reached 17.1%. A strong association has been witnessed between type II diabetes mellitus with atherosclerosis and serum uric acid level. The current study aim was to assess the levels of serum uric acid in type II diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 85 diagnosed patients of type II diabetes mellitus in Diabetes hospital, Peshawar and the Department of General Medicine, Shaikh Zayed Medical Complex, Lahore during the period from March 2020 to August 2020.Type II diabetes mellitus (DM) diagnosed patients 85 and healthy control 30 were evaluated in this study. The level of hyperuricemia was defined for women > 6 mg/dl and men >7 mg/dl in men. Results: In this study, a total of 85 diabetic diagnosed patients and 30 healthy controls were enrolled. No significant differences were there in the baseline characteristics like anthropometric and socio-demographic parameters. The mean age for diagnosed and control cases was 58.6±8.7 and 56.5±7.6 years with an age range of 40 and 80 years. Hyperuricemia proportion among diabetic patients was 12.13% while none of the control cases had hyperuricemia. The uric acid means level increased from 4.29±0.81 mg/dl with a diabetic duration between 3 and 4 years to 4.59±0.99 mg/dl with a diabetic duration of 5 to 7 years. Furthermore, mean serum uric acid level reached 6.50±1.08 in cases with diabetic duration 8 to 12 years. Statistically, a significant association was found between diabetic duration and serum uric acid. Also, a positive correlation was found in hyperlipidemia, serum uric acid levels, and hypertension. Conclusion: In diabetic patients serum uric acid levels were found to be significantly higher. Diabetic patients had hypertension, elevated serum uric acid levels, and high triglycerides with dyslipidemia. The rise in serum uric acid levels is proportional to the duration of diabetes.

Background: Hyperuricemia is associated with type 2 diabetes, which is a metabolic disorder of multiple etiologies resulting from defects in insulin action. The present study wascarried out to look for any association between uric acid and Type II Diabetes Mellitus and also status of triacylglycerol level among those patients.Methods: The blood samples were collected 100 diabetic and 100 non-diabetic individuals in the department of biochemistry and then analyzed for estimation of blood glucose, Uric Acid and Triacylglycerol level.Results: The average level of serum uric acid in diabetic patients was higher (5.706±1.617) in comparison to non diabetic subjects (4.322±0.784) with statistically significant difference (p≤0.05). For female the result indicate there was a positive correlation between (FBS and triglycerides) and (triglycerides and uric acids) which was statistically significant (r =-0.465, n = 41, p = 0.002) and(r =-0.370, n = 41, p = 0.017) respectively.Conclusions: This study documents that hyperuricemia is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Furthermore, the serum triacylglycerol and serum uric acid is also found to be associated risk factors for diabetic complications. Hence, timely diagnosis and management of diabetes is vital to control the complications related to diabetes.Ann. Clin. Chem. Lab. Med. 2016:2(1); 26-34

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder which occurs due to absolute or relative deficiency of insulin hormone and the diabetic patients are more prone to develop stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, blindness, coronary artery disease, neuropathy and gangrene. Increased uric acid levels in serum are one of the metabolic abnormalities associated with diabetes mellitus type 2. Objectives: The purpose of the research is to assess the status of serum uric acid in non-diabetic and diabetic subjects. Study Design: Cross Sectional Comparative study. Setting: Department of Medicine Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center, Karachi. Period: Feb 2018 till September 2018. Material & Methods: A total of 80 subjects of both sexes were taken and divided into two groups. Fasting glucose levels, serum uric acid were performed by enzymatic method. Results: This study showed significantly raised levels of serum uric acid and Fasting blood glucose (FBS) in diabetic type 2 subjects when compared to non-diabetic subjects(p<0.01). Conclusion: The results of the present study suggests that compared to non‐diabetic subject’s diabetic subjects have significantly higher level of uric acid.

Background This study aimed to explore the association between uric acid lowering and renal function. Materials and Methods We conducted a population-based cohort study with 1,534 subjects for 4 years from 2012 to 2016. The population was divided into four groups according to the interquartile range of changes in serum uric acid with quartile 1 representing lower quarter. Renal function decline was defined as eGFR decreased more than 10% from baseline in 2016. Renal function improvement was defined as eGFR increased more than 10% from baseline in 2016. Cox regression analysis was used to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results In the adjusted Cox regression models, compared to quartile 4, quartile 1 (HR = 0.64, 95% CI [0.49–0.85]), quartile 2 (HR = 0.65, 95% CI [0.50–0.84]) and quartile 3 (HR = 0.75, 95% CI [0.58–0.96]) have reduced risk of renal function decline. An increasing hazard ratio of renal function improvement was shown in quartile 1 (HR = 2.27, 95% CI [1.45–3.57]) and quartile 2 (HR = 1.78, 95% CI [1.17–2.69]) compared with quartile 4. Conclusions Uric acid lowering is associated with changes in renal function. The management of serum uric acid should receive attention in clinical practice and is supposed to be part of the treatment of chronic kidney disease.

Background: The need for early indicators of diabetic complications is essential to prevent late complications and their deleterious effects. There is a need for sensitive serum markers that are associated with diabetes and its complications. Estimation of these parameters helps in early intervention, thereby delaying the chronic complications of diabetes in the early stages. Hyperuricemia has been shown to be linked to a number of diseases and conditions including gout, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction, stroke and renal disease. Uric acid has long been associated with delayed complications of diabetes mellitus. This study was conducted on 357 patients of diabetes mellitus to investigate the significance of serum uric acid levels and its correlation with it.Methods: This is an observational cross-sectional study carried out amongst 357 patients with T2DM attending out-patient department as well as indoor patients under medicine department at Surat Municipal Institute of Medical Education and Research (SMIMER) Hospital, of south Gujarat.Results: There is highly significant association seen between HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) and uric acid levels in present study (p<0.001). There is significant association seen between fasting blood sugar (FBS) levels and uric acid levels in the study (p=0.0253).Conclusions: There is increase in uric acid levels in diabetic patients with increased levels of HbA1c. Thus, serum uric acid may serve as a potential biomarker of the deterioration of glucose metabolism.
