It is well known that purine metabolites are strongly associated with the development of diabetic microvascular complications. Uric acid, an end product of the purine metabolism, acts as a pro-oxidant and it may thus be a marker of oxidative stress.&#13;
Objectives:&#13;
1. To Estimate and Compare Anthropometric and Biochemical parameters in Diabetic Retinopathy patients, Diabetes without Retinopathy and clinically proven healthy controls.&#13;
2. To correlate Serum Uric acid levels with Anthropometric and Biochemical indices in Diabetic Retinopathy patients. Materials and Methods: Study group consisted total of 150 subjects divided into three groups- Group I (Clinically proven healthy controls), Group II (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus without retinopathy) and Group III (Diabetic retinopathy), visiting RL Jalappa hospital and Research centre Kolar. Anthropometric __ampersandsignamp; Biochemical parameters were estimated by standard methods.&#13;
Results: Comparison of Anthropometric __ampersandsignamp; Biochemical parameters were done among the three Groups, we observed Age, Obesity index, Fasting Blood Sugar, HbA1c, Total Cholesterol, high density lipoproteins, low density lipoproteins __ampersandsignamp; Uric acid were statistically significant with p value __ampersandsignlt;0.05 and also positive correlation was observed for Body mass index,Fasting Insulin, Total Cholesterol, high density lipoproteins and low density lipoproteins with Uric Acid in Group III.&#13;
Conclusion: Hyperglycemia and Oxidative stress in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus leads to micro and macrovascular complications. In Group III, there was positive correlation of serum Uric Acid with Anthropometric __ampersandsignamp; Biochemical Indices. Therefore uric acid can be considered as a reliable marker which is less expensive and helps clinicians in controlling the progression of DM to microvascular complications like DR.&#13;
