Nephrolithiasis is commonly observed in patients with gout; however, the role of asymptomatic hyperuricemia in stone formation remains unclear. This study evaluated the association between serum uric acid levels and nephrolithiasis in a large health screening population.

We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 31,198 Korean adults who underwent health checkups between 2010 and 2020. Clinical parameters included anthropometric measures, blood pressure, serum uric acid, renal and hepatic function markers, lipid profiles, glycemic indices, inflammatory biomarkers, serum calcium, and vitamin D3 levels. Nephrolithiasis was defined as the presence of at least one renal stone ≥5 mm detected by ultrasonography and/or kidney–ureter–bladder radiography. Hierarchical logistic regression models (unadjusted, age- and BMI-adjusted, and fully adjusted) were used to assess associations separately in men and women.
