In this study 3794 subjects were investigated for serum uric acid level (SUA). Hyperuricemia is defined as SUA more than 7mg/dl for males and menopausal women and 6mg/dl for pre-menopausal females. SUA was estimated by Caraway method in digital colorimeter. Overall prevalence was 21.42%; the condition was more common in men than women (26.78% vs. 16.82%; p<0.001). The prevalence was higher in Mongolian than non Mongolian both in males and females (24.50 % Vs 21.06%; p>0.05). Key words : Hyperuricemia; SUA; digital colorimeter DOI: 10.3126/jcmsn.v6i2.3612 ?
