CKD is a Gout Risk Factor

Chronic kidney disease is identified by a blood test for creatinine. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) appears to be an independent risk factor for gout, according to American researchers.  Stage 5 CKD is often called end stage renal disease, end stage renal failure, or end-stage kidney disease, and is synonymous with the now outdated terms chronic kidney failure or chronic renal failure.

For the study, investigators observed the development of gout among participants in the Framingham Heart Study 1948-2002.

Using Cox proportional hazard models, the researchers estimated the odds of CKD leading to gout among men and women separately. They adjusted results for other risk factors, including age, alcohol consumption, smoking history, hypertension, diabetes, and body mass index.

According to results published in BMJ Open, the incidence of gout among CKD patients was 6.82 per 1,000 persons per year compared to 2.43 for those without the disease. In multivariable models, CKD was associated with double the odds of gout among men and women.

The study adds to the growing body of epidemiological research supporting the hypothesis that CKD is a risk factor for future gout.
