  • A: uric acid ≤ 7.7 mg/dl and chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage I (eGFR-MDRDc ≥ 90 ml/min/1.73 m2). B: uric acid ≤ 7.7 mg/dl and CKD stage II or higher (eGFR-MDRDc < 90 ml/min/1.73 m2). C: uric acid > 7.7 mg/dl and CKD stage I (eGFR-MDRDc ≥ 90 ml/min/1.73 m2). D: uric acid > 7.7 mg/dl and CKD stage II or higher (eGFR-MDRDc < 90 ml/min/1.73 m2).

  • * ANOVA comparison of continuous variables.

  • Chi-square test of categorical variables. eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; MDRDc: Modification of Diet in Renal Disease correction for Chinese; MBP: mean blood pressure = DBP + (SBP–DBP)/3; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; LDL-C: low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (all mg/dl); TG: triglycerides.
