Correlation of Serum Uric Acid, Cholesterol and Triglyceride Levels
Chapter
Abstract
There is an apparent high incidence of hyperuricemia in patients selected for diabetes, however epidemiological studies have not demonstrated any relation between serum urate and blood glucose concentration.1 A correlation of serum urate to serum cholesterol and/or triglyceride levels has been described but also disclaimed.2-3
