Background–Aim: Uric acid is considered a marker of high cardiovascular risk. We investigated the association between serum uric acid and coronary arterial disease (CAD) in pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Methods: We enrolled 110 subjects on mean age 69.02 ± 14.3 years old. The participants were categorized for both estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria according to criteria 2012 of the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes. Estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) was calculated using an equation including the age and mean blood pressure. The CAD prevalence rate was recorded. Results: The patients were divided in two groups according to uric acid cutoff point value related to high ePWV. The patients with higher uric acid were older and they had significantly higher systolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, and parathyroid hormone, but significantly lower eGFR and 1,25(OH)2 Vit D3 levels. The association between high uric acid and both high ePWV and CAD occurrence was found to be significant ( x2 = 6.7, P = .008 and x2 = 4.1, P = .03, respectively), although the relationship with albuminuria was found to be nonsignificant. In a built multifactorial model, the low serum uric acid rather than the high was found to be an independent predictor for CAD demonstration entering traditional and specific confounders. Conclusion: The low serum uric acid levels were proved to be a significant predictor for CAD accounting potential covariates, even though the high uric acid per se was found to be connected with cardiovascular disease characteristics including arterial stiffness in predialysis CKD patients.

Abstract Background: To explore whether dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia or hypertension has mediating effect on the association between serum uric acid (SUA) and the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD).Methods: We conducted a mediation analysis to explore the potential mediating effects of systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), blood glucose, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) on the association between SUA and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The data were obtained from China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), covering 5 762 individuals. Results: SUA had a negative dose-response total effect on eGFR (β -3.11, 95% CI -3.40 to -2.82, P-value<0.001). The linear regression between SUA and seven potential mediators indicated that blood glucose (β 0.80, 95% CI 0.18 to 1.42, P-value=0.012), TG (β 10.01, 95% CI 8.22 to 11.79, P-value<0.001), TC (β 2.64, 95% CI 1.83 to 3.45, P-value<0.001), HDL-C (β -0.27, 95% CI -0.52 to -0.02, P-value=0.034) and LDL-C (β 1.15, 95% CI 0.49 to 1.80, P-value=0.001) all had significant dose-response association with SUA, but SBP and DBP showed no significant association with SUA. In terms of the association between potential mediators and eGFR, only TG did not have significant linear association with eGFR (β 0.00, 95% CI 0.00 to 0.01, P-value=0.117). The linear regression showed that SUA was directly associated with eGFR (P-value<0.001).Conclusions: This study supported that the association between SUA and the risk of CKD was not mediated by hypertension, hyperglycemia or dyslipidemia.

Abstract Background and Aims While previous studies have reported the association between serum uric acid (SUA) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) incidence, the sex differences in this association remain controversial. Therefore, we examined the association between SUA levels and CKD incidence in middle-aged adults stratified by sex using data from a large-scale health check-up. Method We analyzed information from the JMDC database, which included the annual health check-up data of Japanese employees and their dependents aged &lt;75 years. Among those individuals, we analyzed data from 138,511 individuals without CKD, kidney disease, or a history of cardiovascular disease at baseline. CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) &lt;60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and/or proteinuria. We divided the participants into 9 and 7 groups according to SUA levels for men and women, respectively. A Cox model was applied to assess the adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for CKD incidence in each SUA level group using an SUA concentration of 4.0–4.9 mg/dL as the reference after adjusting for age, body mass index, current or ex-smoker, current or ex-drinker, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, systolic blood pressure, use of anti-hyperuricemic drugs, and baseline eGFR. Results The mean participant age was 44.1 years, and 29.6% were women. The mean SUA levels were 5.9 mg/dL and 4.1 mg/dL in men and women, respectively. During the mean follow-up period of 4.68 years, 12,589 participants developed CKD. The age-standardized incidence rates for CKD were 17.88/17.80 per 1000 person-years in men/women with SUA concentrations of 4.0–4.9 mg/dL, 209.76 per 1000 person-years in men with SUA ≥11.0 mg/dL, and 73.38 per 1000 person-years in women with SUA ≥ 9.0 mg/dL. The fully adjusted HRs (95% confidence interval [CI], P value) for CKD incidence in the groups with SUA concentrations of &lt;4.0, 10.0–10.9, and ≥11.0 mg/dL compared with those with SUA of 4.0–4.9 mg/dL among men were 1.13 (1.01–1.26, P=0.030), 1.98 (1.32–2.97, P=0.0010), and 3.74 (1.68–8.35, P=0.0013), respectively. In women, the fully adjusted HRs for CKD incidence in the groups with SUA concentrations of &lt;4.0, 8.0–8.9, and ≥9.0 mg/dL were 1.08 (1.01–1.16, P=0.032), 2.39 (1.07–5.35, P=0.034), and 3.20 (0.80–12.8, P=0.10), respectively. Similar results were observed when we performed the sensitivity analysis excluding 8,411 individuals with hypertensive treatment from the main analysis. The HRs for the outcomes caused by the onset of eGFR &lt;60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or proteinuria separately were similar to those for the main results. Conclusion The results of the present study demonstrated an increased risk of CKD in men with SUA concentrations of &lt;4.0 and ≥10.0 mg/dL and &lt;4.0 and ≥8.0 mg/dL in women compared to those with SUA concentrations of 4.0–4.9 mg/dL after adjusting for various covariates. Both high and low SUA levels were risk factors for CKD in middle-aged men and women. Hyperuricemia was demonstrated to cause renal injury due to the intraluminal deposition of uric acid crystals in the renal collecting duct. Hyperuricemia may also induce endothelial dysfunction, activation of the renin-angiotensin system, and induction of inflammation and stimulation of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation by the induction of cyclooxygenase-2. However, as uric acid is one of the most important antioxidants in human plasma, low SUA levels may increase the risk of CKD incidence through decreased antioxidant activity. These mechanisms are implicated in the pathogenesis of CKD caused by high and low SUA levels. In addition, the SUA levels and ranges associated with increased risks of CKD incidence differed by sex.

Background: Hyperuricaemia is a metabolic marker of decreased renal function in chronic kidney disease (CKD). It increases cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and mortality risk in patients with CKD. Objectives: To estimate serum uric acid level in different stages of CKD. Methods: The present study was a cross sectional analytical study and was conducted in the Department of Physiology, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka from July 2012 to June 2013 on 300 participants. They were divided into group A (150 control healthy participants) and group B (150 diagnosed cases of CKD). Serum creatinine and serum uric acid levels were measured by auto analyzer in Department of Pathology, Dhaka Medical College. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated from serum creatinine level by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation. For statistical analysis unpaired Student “t” test, one way ANOVA test, Bonferroni test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) test and Linear regression were performed using SPSS for windows version 20. Result: In this study, serum uric acid level was significantly (p<0.05) higher and eGFR were significantly lower in study groups than that of control group. There was gradual rise of serum uric acid level in CKD subjects from stage I to V. A significant inverse correlation was observed between serum uric acid level and eGFR. Serum uric acid level increased 0.048 mg/dl for each ml/min/1.73m2 decrease of eGFR. Conclusion: This study concludes that serum uric acid level increases gradually in accordance with the higher stages of CKD. There is a negative correlation of serum uric acid with eGFR in all stages of CKD which was statistically significant (p<0.05). Screening of serum uric acid level in different stages of CKD may be beneficial for assessing renal damage as well as prediction of co-morbidities associated with it.
