Popis: ObjectiveHyperuricemia has been reported to be associated with the development of postoperative acute kidney injury (pAKI). However, it remains underdetermined whether hyperuricemia treatment could decrease the potential risk of pAKI. Here, we investigated this hypothesis among hyperuricemia patients with previously normal renal function by performing a retrospective database analysis.ResultsThe study screened 18,169 patients, and were examined preoperative serum creatinine, uric acid, and postoperative serum creatinine. Eight hundred thirty-six patients were finally analyzed for the study, of whom 232 were in the treatment group and 604 were in the non-treatment control group. After adjustment for multi-covariates including baseline (pre-treatment) serum uric acid (SUA) levels, the incidence of pAKI in the treatment group (9.05%; 95% CI 6.04–12.1%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (14.2%; 95% CI 11.2–17.2%). On the other hand, further adjusting for preoperative SUA levels, there was no significant difference in the expected incidence of pAKI between the groups.
