Serum albumin predicts hyperuricemia in patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy

AIM The aim of the study was to examine cross-sectional association between serum albumin and hyperuricemia (HU). MATERIALS AND METHODS HU defined as uric acid ? 420 umol/L for male population ? 357 umol/Lfor female population. We reviewed files 216 consecutive patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy treated at our hospital 2010 2019. correlation levels clinical Idiopathic were assessed by statistical analysis. A multivariable logistic analysis model applied test after adjusting a number potential confounding factors. RESULTS Triglyceride higher in group than without (p = 0.020, p < 0.001, respectively). As rose 1 g/L, probability increased 17% (adjusted II OR 1.17, 95% CI (1.02, 1.35), 0.0294). unit increase associated an 6.64 g/L ? 6.64, 0.0135). Using tertile (T1) reference, 3 (T3) positively both 44.21, (12.76, 75.67), 0.0064) 98.64, 0.0116). interaction showed significant interactions body mass index (BMI) when or used determine outcomes. participants BMI ? 25 kg/m2 had those (for hyperuricemia: 1.01 vs. 1.18, 0.0056; acid: 0.96 6.23, p for 0.0154). area under ROC curve (AUC) 0.7615 kg/m2. sensitivity specificity this point 47.37% 95.83%, respectively. CONCLUSION Our that acid, especially obese subjects.
