High Uric Acid And Kidney Disease » High Uric Acid & Kidney Disease

A chart showing the increasing risks of early kidney disease as uric acid rises. Interestingly, risks begin to rise steeply above 5mg/dL (0.3 mmol/L) which is towards the lower end of what many labs report to be the “normal” blood uric acid range.

The chart is drawn from data in the Association between serum uric acid and early kidney damage in middle-aged and elderly. The spreadsheet generating the uric acid chart, and this GoutPal image, are published under a Creative Commons license:
