P0762the Serum Uric Acid Has a Independent Association With 1-Year Renal Outcomes in Chronic Kidney Disease Patient With Hypertension

Abstract

Background and Aims Serum uric acid (UA) is associated with renal disease. Hyperuricemia can be a risk of hypertension, intrarenal vascular disease and renal injury. We investigate the serum UA has an association with renal disease progression in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with hypertension. Method We recruited 270 CKD patients with hypertension from 4 centers in Korea through the APrODiTe study and followed for 1 year. Serum UA was evaluated as a continuous value and groups divided by quartiles. The renal outcomes were an increase in random urine protein/creatinine ratio (PCR) than baseline value or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) deterioration which means a decrease in eGFR ≥ 5 (ml/min/1.73m2). Results Baseline serum UA was 6.58 ± 1.73 mg/dl and 6.52 ± 3.59 mg/dl after 1 year. For proteinuria progression, a 1 mg/dl higher serum UA has independent correlation in multivariate regression (odds ratio (OR): 1.272; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.031-1.568; P = 0.024). The higher quartile of serum UA showed a correlation with the odd ratio than lower quartile (OR: 2.243; 95% CI: 0.862-5.837; P = 0.098, OR:3.417; 95% CI: 1.275-9.152; P= 0.015, OR: 2.754; 95% CI: 1.013-7.488; P < 0.047). In subgroup analysis, the patients with late CKD stage (3-5) showed serum UA has a positive correlation with proteinuria progression (OR: 1.311; 95% CI: 1.022-1.682; P= 0.033) and the top quartile group was correlated with the increased odds ratio compared to lower quartile (OR: 3.811; 95% CI: 1.153-12.59; P = 0.028). For eGFR deterioration, the higher quartile of UA was positively correlated with the odd ratio in only univariate analysis. Conclusion Serum UA level has an independent correlation with proteinuria progression in especially late CKD patient with hypertension. Whereas for eGFR deterioration, serum UA did not show a significant correlation.
