Background:
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum uric acid and renal function, expressed as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in China.
Methods:
Serum levels of uric acid and creatinine were determined in 526 enrolled patients diagnosed with stable CAD and T2DM. To assess renal function, eGFR was calculated using a modified MDRD formula suitable for the Chinese population. Patients' anthropometric measurements were collected using standardized protocols, and 6-month follow-up results were collected and analyzed. Pearson's correlation coefficient r was calculated and multivariate analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between uric acid and renal function. Patients with eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) were classified as having reduced renal function or chronic kidney disease (CKD) in this study.
Results:
Uric acid levels were negatively associated with eGFR (P = 0.002), especially in patients with CKD (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2)) (P < 0.001). In patients with reduced renal function, the risk in the highest quartile of uric acid levels was higher than in the lowest quartile (odds ratio 9.18, 95% confidence interval: 4.01 - 21.01, P < 0.001). These associations remained after multiple adjustments for potential confounders and were recapitulated after 6-month follow-up.
Conclusions:
Serum uric acid level is negatively associated with renal function, as assessed by eGFR, and serves as an independent predictor for CKD in patients with stable CAD and T2DM.
