The relationship between serum uric acid level and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in northern China: a retrospective cohort study
High UA levels serve as an independent risk factor for NAFLD in underweight and normal-weight individuals, highlighting the necessity of early NAFLD screening through monitoring liver function and UA levels, and personalized treatment plans for NAFLD patients with higher UA levels, which may include uric acid-lowering therapy and lifestyle modifications. However, the relationship between UA levels and NAFLD in overweight and obese individuals remains inconclusive.
