Abstract :Aim: Uric acid levels increase in chronic renal failure especially due to protein metabolism. In this study, we aimed to compare uric acid clearance who are also nephrotoxic in patients with end-stage renal disease. Methods: Sixty-one chronic peritoneal dialysis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PD); patients and fifty-one chronic hemodialysis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HD); patients included in the study. Duration of PD and HD, uric acid levels, age and gender of the patients evaluated. Uric acid levels in PD patients and HD patients compared. Results: The mean ages of PD and HD patients were 56.77 ±13.58 and 57.25 ± 16.45 years, respectively insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.864);. The number of male patients was more in the PD group and female in the HD group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.959);. The duration of dialysis was 3.25 in PD, 3.75 in HD insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.925);. The mean uric acid levels were 5.54 ± 1.13 mg/dL in PD patients, and 5.76 ±1.52 mg/dL in HD patients insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.389);. Conclusion: Dialysis is used to remove toxins in end-stage renal disease. Uric acid levels may be elevated in patients with end-stage renal disease. There is no difference in uric acid clearance in PD and HD patients.
