RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN URIC ACID AND MARKERS OF ATHEROSCLEROTIC LESION OF THE ARTERIAL WALL IN INDIVIDUALS WITH CHRONIC CEREBRAL ISCHEMIA (CCI)

Аннотация

One hundred patients with diagnosed CCI were examined. Biochemical, inflammatory, and ultrasound markers were assessed. A significant positive correlation was found between uric acid levels and intima-media thickness, C-reactive protein, and arterial stiffness. Hyperuricemia may serve as a vascular risk factor in this patient group.
