Diagnostic Significance of Uric Acid, C Reactive Protein, Magnesium in Acute Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

Introduction: Study was undertaken to note the levels of high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), serum uric acid, serum magnesium levels in acute myocardial infarction (MI). Material and methods: This study was conducted in GSL Medical College, study was approved by institutional ethical committee. Participants were recruited by folloing inclusion and exclusion criteria. After getting detailed history of patient’s blood samples were taken for hemoglobin, blood urea, serum creatinine, uric acid, serum electrolytes, hs CRP, serum uric acid, serum Magnesium. All the participants were subjected to ECG and ECHO cardiography. Fischer’s exact Chi square test was to find statistical analysis, P<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Of the 100 study participants, 39% participants’ hs CRP levels were ≤3mg/dl; statistically the difference was significant. When serum ureic acid considered, 46% patients with uric acid levels were ≤7mg/dl 66% participants’ magnesium levels were > 1.4mg/dl; The difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: The above findings showed a positive correlation of elevated hs CRP and uric acid; and low magnesium with various risk factors of MI.
