Uric acid (UA) has been linked to renal damage in experimental models of kidney failure. In humans, no definitive link between UA and renal function has been established, but several epidemiologic studies have suggested that higher UA levels are associated with accelerated loss of renal function, higher incidence of dialysis, and death. Many of the associations have been limited by the colinearity between UA levels and renal function. Renal transplantation is no exception, and limited information is available concerning the independent role of UA on progression of renal function in transplant recipients.
