The association of renal tubular inflammatory and injury markers with uric acid excretion in chronic kidney disease patients

ConclusionsOur findings suggest that markers of urinary interstitial inflammation and injury in CKD patients are significantly correlated with 24-h UUA and Urinary excretion of uric acid (UEUA), and those with high 24-h UUA have lower levels of these markers. Renal uric acid excretion may also reflect the inflammation and injury of renal tubules under certain conditions.
