Hyperuricemia and Impaired Renal Function: A Prospective Cohort Study

Kidney Diseases, 2020
Background: Related studies have demonstrated a relationship of elevated serum uric levels with a decline in kidney function. However, limited evidence exists in a Southeast Asian community-based population.

Renal function: Estimation of glomerular filtration rate [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2007
The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is widely accepted as the best overall measure of kidney function. American National Kidney Foundation guidelines define chronic kidney disease (CKD) by either a GFR of less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or the presence of ...

Treating lupus nephritis patients to lupus low disease activity reduces renal relapse and preserves long‐term kidney function

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Lupus low disease activity state (LLDAS) is a validated treatment target in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) but limited studies have explored the role of LLDAS in lupus nephritis (LN). This study aims to investigate the frequency and predictors of LLDAS attainment, and its benefit on LN relapse and renal function preservation in patients ...

Hydroxychloroquine Associated with Lower Glomerular Filtration Rate Decline in Lupus Nephritis

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Background Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) protects kidney function in lupus nephritis (LN) by preventing flares, yet some cohort studies show no significant benefit in kidney function with HCQ. Clarifying these conflicting findings by showing early and long‐term benefits of HCQ on kidney function preservation is critical. Therefore, we analyzed data from our

Serum uric acid levels in older adults: Associations with clinical outcomes and implications for reference intervals in those aged 70 years and over

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives Reports have linked both high and low serum uric acid (SUA) levels to adverse health outcomes. This study aimed to establish a reference interval for SUA in older adults and assessed its association with clinically relevant outcomes in relatively healthy, community‐dwelling individuals aged 70 and older.

Chronic Opioids in Gout: A Matched Cohort Study from the Veteran's Health Administration

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Though used frequently to treat flare, risk of chronic opioid exposure in gout has not been well defined. In this study, we examined the hypothesis that people with gout are more likely than individuals without gout to be prescribed chronic opioids over time.

Exploring patients’ profiles associated with the resolution of acute calcium pyrophosphate arthritis treatedwith colchicine and prednisone: post hoc analysis of a randomized controlled trial

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective The objective was to identify factors determining acute arthritis resolution and safety with colchicine and prednisone in acute calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystal arthritis. Methods We conducted a post hoc analysis of the COLCHICORT trial, which compared colchicine and prednisone for the treatment of acute CPP crystal arthritis, using a ...
