Abstract EN
This study was designed to establish reference ranges for serum uric acid among healthy adult Assamese population.
Samples from 1470 aged 35–86 years were used to establish age and sex related reference range by the centile method (central 95 percentile) for serum uric acid level.
There were 51% (n=754) males and 49% (n=716) females; 75.9% (n=1115) of them were from urban area and the rest 24.1% (n=355) were from the rural area.
Majority of the population were nonvegetarian (98.6%, n=1450) and only 1.4% (n=20) were vegetarian.
The mean age, weight, height, and uric acid of the studied group were 53.6±11.3 years, 62.6±10.5 kg, 160±9.4 cm, and 5.5±1.4 mg/dL, respectively.
There is a statistically significant difference in the mean value of the abovementioned parameters between male and female.
The observed reference range of uric acid in the population is 2.6–8.2 mg/dL which is wider than the current reference range used in the laboratory.
Except gender (P<0.0001), we did not find any significant relation of uric acid with other selected factors.
