INS and hyperinsulinism: This result was identified as a potential risk factor for these conditions.[26] Han et al demonstrated a positive correlation between elevated serum uric acid levels and the risk of hyperinsulinemia, as well as a positive correlation between serum uric acid and the risk of insulin resistance (IR) in all individuals except postmenopausal subjects.[27] In our study, we found a weak positive statistical correlation between uric acid and insulin levels (R = 0.29; P < .001).
