Résumé
A total of 184 patients were examined for their blood uric acid level. Sixty two [33.69%] were found to be hyperuricemic while none was found to be hypouricemic. Analysis of the results indicated a higher risk of hyperuricemia in patients, in age group of 30 and above especially females and those with O blood group. The prevalence of hyperuricemia was also higher in patients using a protein-rich diet, being poor with respect to their socio-economic position and those suffering from gout, rheumatic fever or liver and kidney diseases
