Abstract :
Background: Hyperuricemia in females is often misdiagnosed thinking that it is a clinical entity common among males. In this study we want to report that hyperuricemia is also on increasing trend in the female population in relation to dietand age. Material and methods: Serum uric acid levels of 47 patients that presented with joint pain to our OPD between Febuary 2017 to Febuary2018 was tested. Other inflammatory arthritic conditions were ruled out. The correlation with age and other factors were then seen. Results: Correlation of uric acid with other variables was done and it was found that age and menopause had a strong correlation with uric acid using Spearman’s Rho of .709 (p<0.01) and .755 (p<0.05) respectively. Conclusion: Hyperuricemia is a common problem misdiagnosed in females and is seen to increase significantly with age and in post menopausal period.
