Abstract:
This study examined serum uric acid levels in children with migraine compared to healthy controls, and explored links with gender and attack frequency.A retrospective analysis was conducted on pediatric migraine patients and controls seen between August 2019 and January 2025. Uric acid, Hb, Hct, iron, and TIBC levels were recorded.No significant difference in uric acid levels was found between groups or by attack frequency. However, male patients had higher uric acid levels than females (p=0.046). Other blood parameters were similar.Uric acid is not a reliable standalone marker for pediatric migraine, though gender differences suggest potential hormonal influences. Further research is needed.

One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...
