Association between Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Impaired Kidney Function and Hyperuricaemia: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a gynaecological problem affecting women within reproductive age, accompanied by several metabolic anomalies, thus leading to alteration in kidney function and hyperuricaemia. Due to the high prevalence of cardiometabolic factors in PCOS, there is a need to anticipate an increased number of kidney impairments amongst these women.

Objectives: This review aims to investigate the potential link between PCOS, impaired kidney function, and elevated uric acid levels.
