Serum Uric Acid and Blood Urea Nitrogen as Primary Determinants of eGFR in 23,960 Chinese Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study with Machine Learning and Longitudinal Validation.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at 23,960 adults to find what affects kidney function. It found that uric acid and blood urea nitrogen are the main factors linked to kidney filtering rates. This is an observational study, so it shows a link, not proof of cause. It does not prove that changing these levels will improve kidney health.
