A detailed history was taken, patient's baseline serumUric Acid (sUA) & serum Creatinine were measured. Patients were divided into two groups to receive Allopurinol, 300mg & Febuxostat 80 mg, daily for 90-days. The blood parameters were repeated at day 30 and 90.Results: Group-A (Allopurinol treated patients) baseline uric acid changed from mean 8.79 ± 0.98 mg/dl to 6.40 ± 0.86mg/dl at day 90. In Group-B (Febuxostat treated patients) sUA baseline mean changed from 8.85 ± 0.97 mg/dl to 5.96 ±0.68 mg/dl. Mean difference ± SD change of serum uric acid in ...
