    Abstract

    In clinical practice, uric acid has been used as a marker of severe metabolic disturbances. Its antioxidant property has not been considered important for a longtime. The plasma attention of uric acid is nearly10-fold advanced than other antioxidants similar as Vitamin C and VitaminE. It's considered that uric acid has much advanced antioxidant capacity1. Uric acid which is formed by catabolism of purine is proposed to neutralize the free radical injury that occurs in ischemic stroke. Epidemiological studies have suggested a direct relationship between the situations of the natural antioxidant uric acid and the threat of cerebrovascular and coronary ischemic events2. still it isn't fully clear whether this association indicates that uric acid is an independent ischemic threat factor or it represents a marker of atherosclerotic complaint. Whether the attention of uric acid at the onset of ischemic symptoms influences the inflexibility of stroke also remains to be illustrated.2
