Correlation of serum uric acid and early renal damage in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

The association of serum uric acid ( SUA ) and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio ( ACR ) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus was explored. The ACR abnormal rate was higher in hyperuricemia group( P＜0.01 ). ACR level was positively correlated with SUA( P＜0.01 ). The general linear model showed that SUA was a risk factor in ACR. Patients with hyperuricemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus were apt to have abnormal ACR and develop early renal damage.
