Abstract Background Recent studies have shown that the serum uric acid/creatinine ratio (SUA/SCr) is a better predictor of chronic kidney disease (CKD) than serum uric acid (SUA) isolated. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association of isolated SUA and the SUA/SCr with CKD in hypertensive patients. Methods Cross-sectional study conducted with hypertensive patients followed-up by the Primary Health Care Service (PHC). Sociodemographic, economic, lifestyle, clinical, anthropometric, and biochemical variables were evaluated. The association between SUA parameters (quartiles of SUA and quartiles of SUA/SCr) and CKD was evaluated by bivariate and multivariate logistic regression. The association between SUA parameters (SUA and SUA/SCr) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was evaluated by linear regression. The analyses were performed considering four adjustment models. SUA and SUA/SCr were compared by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results In the fully adjusted model, SUA was positively associated with the presence of CKD (OR = 6.72 [95 % CI 1.96–22.96]) and inversely associated with eGFR (β Coef. = -2.41 [95 % CI -3.44; -1.39]). SUA/SCr was positively associated with eGFR (β Coef. = 2.39 [1.42; 3.36]). According to the ROC curve, the SUA is a better predictor of CKD than the SUA/SCr. Conclusions Elevated levels of isolated SUA were associated with CKD and eGFR. However, the SUA/SCr was not associated with CKD. We do not recommend using the SUA/SCr to predict CKD in hypertensive patients.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of hyperuricemia in patients at different stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the association of serum uric acid (SUA) with several clinical factors in a retrospective cross-sectional study of non-dialysis CKD patients at two hospitals in Shanghai, China. Methods The prevalence of hyperuricemia in CKD patients and the association of SUA with other clinical factors were examined using analysis of variance, chi-squared test, multivariate analysis, and other statistical methods. Results A total of 663 CKD patients were enrolled, of which approximately 52% had hyperuricemia. CKD patients with hyperuricemia had lower hemoglobin and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) levels but higher blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, and serum phosphate levels than those without hyperuricemia. Serum uric acid level was positively associated with age, blood urea nitrogen , serum creatinine, cystatin C, and serum phosphate and negatively associated with hemoglobin and eGFR. In addition, CKD patients with anemia and hyperphosphatemia had a higher prevalence of hyperuricemia than those without anemia or hyperphosphatemia. Conclusions The prevalence of hyperuricemia increased with CKD progression supporting the use of urate-lowering treatment for patients with CKD stage 1 to 4.

Introduction: Hyperuricemia is a cause and effect of chronic kidney disease (CKD), accelerates its progression and predisposes to acute kidney injury. Present study aimed to find out the outcome of Febuxostat treatment in hyperuricemic pre-dialysis CKD patients. Method: This was a cross sectional study conducted in Nephrology department, Bir hospital, Nepal, during from February 2019 to January 2020, among pre-dialysis CKD stage 3-5 non dialysis (ND) patients with serum uric acid (SUA) >7 mg/d L who were treated with Febuxostat 40 mg once a day and followed up at one, two and three months. The baseline SUA, creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated by the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) equation compared with values at follow up and according to CKD stages. The adverse effects and liver enzymes were recorded. Result: There were total 50 patients, mean age 54.2±16.5 years, male 31 (62%).There were significant reductions of SUA from baseline of 8.9±1.4to 7.1±1.2 vs 5.9±0.9 vs 4.7±1.0) at one, two and three month respectively, p=0.000 and increment of eGFR (ml/min/1.73m2) from 29.6±15.0 to 31.6±16.0, 33.6±16.6, 34.1±17.1, p=0.000.And 41 (82%) patients achieved uric acid < 6 mg/dl at three month. Significant reduction of uric acid in all CKD stages and increment of eGFR in CKD stage 3 and 4 were observed. Adverse effects were epigastralgia in 5 (10%) and joint pain in 13 (26%). Conclusion: Febuxostat is an effective serum uric acid lowering drug in pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients with improvement of kidney function.

ObjectiveTo explore the association between urbanicity and hyperuricaemia (HUA) and whether urbanicity is an independent risk factor for HUA in Chinese adults.DesignData analysis from a cross-sectional survey.Setting and participants8579 subjects aged 18 years or older were enrolled in the study from the 2009 wave of the China Health and Nutrition Survey to analyse the association between urbanicity and HUA. We divided them into three categories according to urbanisation index (low, medium and highly urbanised groups).Main outcome measuresHUA was defined as serum uric acid ≥7 mg/dL in men and ≥6 mg/dL in women.ResultsThe prevalence of HUA in low, medium and highly urbanised groups was 12.2%, 14.6% and 19.8%, respectively. The independent factors influencing serum uric acid included age, gender, hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, drinking, obesity and community-level urbanisation index (β=0.016, p<0.001). The risk of HUA in the highly urbanised group was significantly higher than that of the low urbanised group (OR 1.771, 95% CI 1.545 to 2.029, p<0.001), even after adjusting for other covariates (OR 1.661, 95% CI 1.246 to 2.212, p=0.001). In a subgroup analysis, we found that age, gender, comorbidity (such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity and chronic kidney disease) and physical activity affected the association between urbanisation and the risk of HUA.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that living in highly urbanised areas is linked with higher risk of HUA independent of cardiometabolic and health-related behavioural risk factors, which have been shown to increase along with urbanisation.
