The Association between Urinary Glucose and Renal Uric Acid Excretion in Non-diabetic Patients with Stage 1-2 Chronic Kidney Disease.

: To test the hypothesis that in non-diabetic patients with early-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD), the renal excretion of urate and glucose transportation are coupled and interconnected. : A cross-sectional study of 255 non-diabetic participants with stage 1-2 CKD recruited from our department was conducted. Spearman's correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were used to study the correlation between urinary glucose and renal uric acid excretion. ANOVA was used to compare urinary uric acid excretion among three tertiles of urinary glucose (UG; UG1: UG<0.24 mmol/24 h/1.73 m, UG2: 0.24 mmol/24 h/1.73 m≤ UG≤0.55 mmol/24 h/1.73 m, and UG3: UG>0.55 mmol/24 h/1.73 m), the fractional excretion of glucose (FEG; FEG1: FEG<0.04%, FEG2: 0.04%≤FEG≤0.09%, and FEG3: FEG>0.09%) and the excretion of glucose per volume of glomerular filtration (EgGF; EgGF1: EgGF<1.95 μmol/L, EgGF2: 1.95 μmol/L≤ EgGF≤3.99 μmol/L, and EgGF3: EgGF>3.99 μmol/L). : According to the multiple linear regression analysis, FEG and EgGF were positively correlated with the excretion of uric acid per volume of glomerular filtration (EurGF) after adjusting for confounding factors. The EurGF levels in the highest tertiles of UG, FEG and EgGF were higher than those in the lowest tertiles of UG, FEG and EgGF. : Urinary glucose excretion is closely related to renal excretion of uric acid in non-diabetic patients with stage 1-2 CKD.
