Serum uric acid (SUA), have therefore become a topic of scientific interest due to their potential modulatory role in CNS injury including multiple sclerosis.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> In this case–control study, 44 patients with MS and 44 age- and sexmatched healthy controls were evaluated. SUA levels were measured using enzymatic methods. Associations between SUA levels and demographic variables, disability (Expanded Disability Status Scale, EDSS), disease duration, ambulation status, and disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) were analyzed using ANOVA and regression models adjusted for age, sex, and renal function.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: MS patients exhibited significantly lower SUA levels compared to healthy controls (p &lt; 0.05). SUA levels were not significantly associated with EDSS scores, disease duration, or ambulation status. While DMT exposure influenced SUA levels overall, no significant pairwise differences were observed between specific drugs.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: These findings support the potential utility of SUA as a diagnostic biomarker in MS and as a marker of treatment response to DMTs. However, SUA levels do not correlate with disease duration or physical disability (EDSS).</p> Mustafa Makki Ajam Mustafa Falah Hamza Salam F.
