The state of uric acid in Iraqi patients with Parkinson disease
Keywords:

Uric acid has recently been proposed as a possible cause of Parkinson's disease (PD). The researchers wanted to see how uric acid levels were in persons with Parkinson's disease compared to an age-matched healthy control group. Researchers employed a case control study and a random comparison of plasma uric acid concentrations of collected samples in a clinical neurology department ward at Baghdad education hospital/Medical City and a Parkinson's disease movement disorder clinic. Participants were enrolled in the study from October 2015 to October 2016. We looked examined blood Uric acid levels in 40 Parkinson's disease patients and 40 age-matched healthy controls after controlling for age, sex, race, and geographic location. The Most Important Outcome Measures: Suboptimal Uric acid concentrations have been seen in Parkinson's patients. The results indicated that patients with PD (65%) had lower uric acid levels than controls (22.5%), and that the mean uric acid concentration in PD was (3.24) considerably (P.05) lower than in controls (4.08). The study's findings show that PD patients had much lower uric acid levels than healthy controls. These findings suggest that uric acid may have a role in Parkinson's disease.
