Inhibiting tubular urate reabsorption may protect the kidney from urate-induced tubular injury. However, this approach may promote intratubular uric acid crystallization, especially in acidified urine, which could be toxic to the kidney. To assess how tubular urate handling affects kidney outcomes, we conducted a retrospective cohort study including 1042 patients with estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) of 15-60 mL/min/1.73 m
