Plasma Urate and Risk of a Hospital Stay with AKI: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study

[摘要] Background and objectives Higher urate levels are associated with higher risk of CKD, but the association between urate and AKI is less established. This study evaluated the risk of hospitalized AKI associated with urate concentrations in a large population-based cohort. To explore whether urate itself causes kidney injury, the study also evaluated the relationship between a genetic urate score and AKI.
