 en The Effect of Alcohol on Uric Acid Level in Consumers
BARTIMAEUS, E. S; ENO-ENO, M.

Abstract

The effect of alcohol in uric acid level was investigated in regular and irregular alcohol consumers who were mainly males. The result showed that the mean (±SE) of non-consumers of alcohol and consumers (combined) was 228 ±3.32 μmol/L and 308.89 ±16.91 μmol/L respectively and the means were significantly different at p<0.05. The mean uric acid level in irregular consumers before administration of alcohol and that after administration was 282.07 ±8.85 and 314. ±11.89 μmol/L respectively. The mean uric acid level in regular consumers and irregular consumers with history of gouty arthritis before and after administration of alcohol were 339.31 ±32.24 μmol/L, are 454.33 ±21.57 μmol/L and 402. 15 ±49.32 μmol/L and 579.50 ±31.15 μmol/L respectively. Comparison of mean values before and after alcohol intake between these categories were significant at p<0.05. The effect of alcohol on the increased uric acid level in both regular and irregular consumers shows significance at p<0.05.@ JASEM
