Hyperuricemia as a component of metabolic syndrome

To study correlations between hyperuricemia and components of metabolic syndrome 87 females were investigated. More prominent changes in lipid and purin metabolism were found in patients with impaired fasting glycemia. Echocardiographic features of hypertrophy of left ventricle are more prominent in metabolic syndrome with impaired fasting glycemia and impaired tolerance to glucose. Uricemia correlates directly with all components of metabolic syndrome, and this correlation is stronger in females with impaired fasting glycemia and impaired tolerance to glucose. The results demonstrate importance of early diagnostic of carbohydrates metabolism disturbances.
