Abstract

Uric acid may be a true mediator of renal disease and progression. However, epidemiological evidence for the significance of serum uric acid levels on the risk for developing end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is scarce in a setting of community-based screening. Participants in a 1993 mass screening conducted by the Okinawa General Health Maintenance Association in Okinawa, Japan, were investigated: 48,177 screenees (22,949 men, 25,228 women) older than 20 years for whom serum uric acid data were available were studied. All dialysis patients treated in Okinawa were independently registered in the Okinawa Dialysis Study registry. Participants in the 1993 screening who later entered a dialysis program were identified by using 2 computer registries. The cumulative incidence of ESRD was calculated according to quartiles of baseline serum uric acid levels for each sex. The significance of hyperuricemia (serum uric acid level > or = 7.0 mg/dL [> or =416 micromol/L] in men and > or = 6.0 mg/dL [> or =357 micromol/L] in women) for the risk for developing ESRD was evaluated by means of the Cox model after adjusting for age, blood pressure, body mass index, proteinuria, hematocrit, and total cholesterol, triglyceride, fasting blood glucose, ...Continue Reading
