Title: Study on relationship between serum level of uric acid and carotid artery plaque in young and mid aged patients with acute cerebral infarction
Abstract: Objective To study the correlation between serum level of uric acid(UA) and carotid artery plaque in young and mid aged patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI).Methods A total of 85 young and mid aged patients with acute cerebral infarction were divided into three different groups,i.e.,normal,stable plaque and unstable plaque groups,based on finding of ultrasound imaging.The serum levels of UA in these patients were detected.Results The serum level of uric acid was higher in patients with different carotid artery plaque groups than that of patients with normal carotid artery group(P 0.05),and following the elevation of serum level of uric acid,the larger area of carotid artery unstable plaque would be(P 0.05).Conclusion Serum level of UA is strongly associated with carotid artery plaque in young and mid aged patients with ACI.
