In recent years much attention has been directed toward the impact of uric acid on metabolic syndrome and its role on the aggravation of kidney function or hypertension. It seems, in addition to the some well-known risk factors such as high blood pressure and diabetes, various "non-traditional" risk factors may related to the higher risk of kidney damage compared to the general population.
