Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and the progression of Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) in a group of 1,965 patients.
- Elevated SUA levels were found to significantly increase the risk of all-cause mortality and kidney failure over a median follow-up of 7 years, with those in the highest quartile having more than double the risk compared to the lowest quartile.
- Additional factors like mean arterial pressure and specific kidney cell characteristics were noted to influence this association, suggesting that certain patient subgroups may be more vulnerable to the effects of high SUA.
