Objective To investigate the correlation between high uric acid level and carotid atherosclerotic plaque in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Methods Select our hospital 245 cases of acute cerebral infarction patients as the study subjects, record the patient's general information, according to the results of carotid artery colour to exceed divided into patches and plaques group, further divided into according to the nature of plaque unstable plaque group and stable plaque group, determination of patients with blood uric acid level, analysis with the correlation of carotid atherosclerotic plaques. Results: there were 212 patients in the plaque group and 33 patients in the non-plaque group. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in age, history of diabetes and serum uric acid level (P<0.05). Multifactor logistic regression analysis showed that age, history of diabetes and serum uric acid were statistically significant (P<0.05). The serum uric acid level of the plaque group was significantly higher than that of the non-plaque group (P<0.05). Unstable plaque uric acid level> stable plaque group> no plaque group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion The increase of serum uric acid level in patients with acute cerebral infarction is related to the occurrence of carotid atherosclerotic plaque, and is most closely related to unstable plaque.
