The Association of Urinary Sodium and Potassium with Renal Uric Acid Excretion in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Conclusion: We found that in patients with CKD, urinary sodium and potassium excretion is closely correlated to renal handling of uric acid, which was pronounced in hypertensive patients with low eGFR. This phenomenon may be one of the mechanisms of the relationship between hypertension and hyperuricemia. Further research is needed to confirm it. It is expected to manage hyperuricemia in terms of controlling the diet of sodium and potassium.Kidney Blood Press Res 2018;43:1310 –1321
