PG - 544-7 AB - OBJECTIVE: To explore the association of elevated serum uric acid with metabolic disorders and the risk factors of hyperuricemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: The clinical and laboratory data of 159 T2DM patients aged 40-80 years with a Scr level of 51-159 micromol/L (0.6-1.8 mg/dl) were analyzed to explore the association of hyperuricemia (HUA) with metabolic disorders and identify the risk factors of HUA. RESULTS: Forty out of 159 T2DM patients (25.2%) were found to have HUA. Univariate analysis showed that male gender, a body mass index
