Correlation between Serum Uric Acid, Vitamin D and HbA1c in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Abstract

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), is the most common endocrine disorder in reproductive-aged women.                                      

Patients and methods: two hundred patients with symptoms and signs of PCOS seek medical advice in two hospitals in Basrah provenience in southern Iraq during the period from 1st of September 2023 to 1st of February 2024 in an obstetrics and gynecology outpatient clinic of Al - Fayhaa teaching hospital and Al-Mawani teaching hospital. Anthropometric study done for each and fasting sample were drawn and sent for vitamin D3, uric acid, HbA1c levels in addition two hundred normal women without complains were chosen for comparisons.  

Results: all parameters of this study showed statistically significant differences between patients’ sample and control, with Conf. interval (CI) 6.93 - 4.48 for Vitamin D, 0.14 -0.47 for Uric acid and 0.28 -0.61 for HbA1c, body mass index as well, significantly correlated (CI) 0.52-1.81. While (CI) for age is 0.14- 2.19 which is not significant between both groups.

Conclusion: all parameter of metabolic abnormalities of POCS are significantly correlated with patients suffering from this syndrome but not for non-modifiable risk factor (age).
