PowerPoint Slides for: Elevated Serum Uric Acid Level Predicts Rapid Decline in Kidney Function
2017
Background: While elevated serum uric acid level (SUA)
is a recognized risk factor for chronic kidney disease, it remains
unclear whether change in SUA is independently associated with change in
estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over time. Accordingly, we
examined the longitudinal associations between change in SUA and change
in eGFR over 5 years in a general Japanese population. Methods:
This was a large, single-center, retrospective 5-year cohort study at
St. Luke's International Hospital, Tokyo, Japan, between 2004 and 2009.
We included 13,070 subjects (30-85 years) in our analyses whose data
were available between 2004 and 2009. Of those, we excluded 492 subjects
with eGFR
