Hiperuricemia en pacientes con enfermedades dermatológicas atendidos en consultas de Clínica Corominas en el periodo de junio -diciembre 2023

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of hyperuricemia in patients with dermatological diseases attending Clinica Coromina consultations over a period of 6 months. Methods: A descriptive observational study with a comparative cross-sectional approach was conducted, with a sample of 99 patients selected through non-probabilistic convenience sampling. Results: Among the 99 included participants, there was a predominance of men (54.5%) and a significant proportion of individuals with overweight or obesity (62.2%). The most common dermatological diagnoses were dermatitis (38.4%), cellulitis (21.2%), and onychomycosis (16.2%). While the majority of patients had normal serum uric acid levels (78.8%), variations were observed according to the dermatological diagnosis, with a considerable proportion of patients having hyperuricemia in some cases (e.g., 30.5% of patients with cellulitis).
