Abstract

Diabetic group (II): comprised of 24 type 1 diabetic patients classified as follows:
Subgroup (IIa) comprised of 8 normoalbuminuric diabetic patients. (3 males and 5 females).
Subgroup (IIb) comprised of 8 microalbuminuric diabetic patients. (2 males and 6 females).
Subgroup (II e) comprised of 8 macroalbuminuric diabetic patients. (4 males and 4 females).
Hyperuriceamic group (III): comprised of 16 hyperuriceamic patients classified as follows:
