The association between hyperuricemia and PTH level indicated by binary logistic regression

Predictor	Odds ratio	Lower-bound confidence interval	Upper-bound confidence interval	P-value
Parathyroid	1.045	1.017	1.075	0.002
Blood urea	2.892	1.506	5.556	0.001
nitrogen
Creatinine	1.161	1.095	1.23	,0.001

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

Abbreviation: PTH, parathyroid hormone.
