| Description | Medical records and residual samples from 334 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients attending a clinic in Gaborone, Botswana, during the period September–December 2016 were analysed for the effects of hyperuricaemia on biochemical markers of adverse outcomes. The patients were stratified as having hyperuricaemia ( 400 µmol/L) or normal serum uric acid (≤ 400 µmol/L). We compared glycated haemoglobin, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, total cholesterol and serum creatinine between the two serum uric acid categories. Hyperuricaemia was detected in 28% of patients (95% confidence interval 23.1–32.9) and was associated with increased serum triglycerides, triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ratio and creatinine concentration, but not with glycated haemoglobin. | |
