Prevalence and clinical characteristics of hyperuricemia among patients with chronic kidney disease under haemodialysis in a tertiary care center: a cross-sectional study.
Annals of Medicine and Surgery 2024 March
BACKGROUND: Hyperuricemia is common in chronic kidney disease patients. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of hyperuricemia in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing haemodialysis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 104 patients with chronic kidney disease who visited the haemodialysis unit of a tertiary centre hospital from 11 September 2022, to 11 November 2022. A convenience sampling technique was used. The data were collected using a proforma form, entered into, and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 21.
RESULTS: The mean age group of the study participants was 54.02 ± 14.03 years, and around two-thirds were male ( n =70, 67.3%). Almost half of the participants (50, 48.07%) had hyperuricemia with a mean uric acid level of 6.76 ± 2.62 mg/dl. The majority of the participants had associated hypertension ( n =100, 96.2%). More than three-fourths of the respondents (83, 79.8%) had haemoglobin levels below the target range.
CONCLUSION: Nearly half of the study participants had hyperuricemia.
