Uric acid level and kidney function: a cross-sectional study of the Korean national health and nutrition examination survey (2016–2017)
Abstract Kidney disease is expected to become the fifth leading cause of premature death globally by 2040. Uric acid level is a risk factor for kidney disease. The current study aims to investigate the association between uric acid levels and kidney function in the Korean population. The data of 11,...
