  Background: The association between serum level of 25 hydroxy vitamin D (25 (OH)D) and serum uric acid (SUA) among non-diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not been reported so far. Objective: We aimed to study the association of serum 25 (OH)D with SUA among stage 3a-5 CKD patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM). Cases and Methods: we studied 527 (234 male and 293 female) diabetic (group 1) and 1197 (611 female and 586 male) nondiabetic (group 2) CKD patients. A blood sample was drawn to estimate eGFR, SUA, serum calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), albumin (Alb), parathormone (PTH), and 25(OH)D. Fasting blood sugar (FBS) and fasting insulin (FI) levels were used to calculate Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (Homa-IR) in group 2 patients. In addition, a morning urine sample was co.. Read More»
