Abstract：Objective:To investigate the relationship between serum uric acid(SUA) levels and acute ischemic stroke(AIS).Method:The case-control study was conducted to examine uric acid in 153 patients with ischemic stroke(observation group) and 110 outpatients(control group).National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS) score was evaluated stroke severity.Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the relationship between SUA and AIS.Result:(1)Mean serum uric acid levels in observation group were (347.09±101.45)μmol/L,and 31.37%were hyperuricemia(HUA),they were significantly higher than those in control group(P<0.05).(2)In observation group,NIHSS score of HUA patients were higher than normal uricemia patients,and were proved statistically significant(P<0.05). Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that SUA was positive correlated with the NIHSS score in 153 patients with AIS(r=0.206,P<0.01).Conclusion:The high levels of SUA and prevalence of hyperuricemia were in patients with AIS.These findings suggest that elevated serum uric acid level can be considered as a risk factor for AIS.
