Relationship between the level of serum uric acid and intracranial stenosis in patients with cerebral ischemic stroke

Objective To study the relationship between the level of serum uric acid and intracranial stenosis in patients with cerebral ischemic stroke.Methods Sixty cerebral ischemic stroke patients were checked by digital subtraction angiography(DSA).According to the degree of intracranial stenosis,patients were divided into stenosis group and no stenosis group.The levels of serum uric acid,blood fat,homocysteic acid(Hcy) in the two groups were detected,and the results were compared.Results According to the result of DSA,patients were divided into stenosis group(45 cases) and no stenosis group(15 cases).The rates of male,hypertension,diabetes,smoking,drinking,hyperlipidemia and the level of serum uric acid in stenosis group were significantly higher than those in no stenosis group(P 0.05-0.01).Logistic regression analysis showed hypertension was the independent risk of intracranial stenosis(OR = 55.730,95% CI: 1.100-2823.152;P 0.05).Conclusion High uric acid is related to intracranial stenosis,but it is not the independent risk of intracranial stenosis.
