After adjusting for genders, comorbidities (coronary artery disease), organ failure assessment (SOFA) score on the day of admission, basal renal function, serum lactate, calcitonin, and mean arterial pressure, hyperuricemia was showed to be an independent risk factor for AKI in patients with sepsis (OR = 4.415, 95%CI 2.793 ~ 6.980, P < 0.001). The gene discussed is CALCA; the disease is coronary artery disorder.
