Understanding Hyperuricemia: A Comprehensive Guide for CKD Patients and Researchers

Hyperuricemia, a condition characterized by elevated uric acid levels in the blood, is often linked to lifestyle-related disorders such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. These disorders, in turn, are significant contributors to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Effective management of hyperuricemia is crucial for improving the overall health of both the general population and CKD patients.

The Impact of Hyperuricemia on Renal Health

This book delves into the latest research on uric acid in tubular transport, early recognition of renal lesions, and genetic predisposition. It explores the complex relationship between hyperuricemia and preeclampsia, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, high blood pressure in the young, and vitamin D deficiency.

In addition, the book examines the connection between acute kidney injury (AKI) and uric acid, as well as the rejection of renal transplants due to hyperuricemia. These insights are invaluable for general practitioners and researchers working in the field of CKD.
