Associations Between Serum Uric Acid Levels and Cardiometabolic Risk, Renal İnjury in Obese and Overweight Children

Conclusions: The presence of MetS, IR and dislipidemia rises with increasing SUAL independently of age, puberty, gender and body mass index (BMI) in OB/OW children. Patients with all of the MetS criteria had the highest SUAL. These results demonstrated that association between UA and metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors could be detectable as early as in childhood. Thus, we recommend monitoring SUAL in OB children and we believe that prevention of SUAL elevation in early life has a potential protective effect on metabolic impairment and subsequent comorbidities.
