Results: From total of 500 subjects who were readily diagnosed with gout, the mean age was 34±11.2 years old, among these subjects are and most of them were females (75%) and most of them (62.8%) had a history of gout, and the laboratory data near to the borderline of normal ranges regarding serum triglycerides and cholesterol, the study results revealed that there is a significant relationship (P < 0.05) between gout Uric acid laboratory parameter and slightly elevated serum triglycerides level. Conclusion: Gout is mostly prevalent among females than males with mean age of late adulthood, in addition, there is a significant relationship between gout and hyperuricaemia and the elevation of triglycerides.
