The association between serum uric acid and PTH level indicated by multiple linear regression

Predictor	Unstandardized regression coefficient	Standard error	Standardized regression coefficient	P-value
Parathyroid	0.001	<0.001	0.165	0.001
Blood urea nitrogen	0.007	0.004	0.096	0.063
Creatinine	0.001	<0.001	0.239	<0.001

Notes: The association between serum uric acid and PTH level was investigated using multiple linear regression, with adjustment for age, body mass index, ethnicity, serum vitamin D, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine level. Serum PTH was significantly associated with uric acid level independent of indicators of renal function in the subjects.

Abbreviation: PTH, parathyroid hormone.
