In Model III (adjusted for family PIR, BMI, education level, drinking, smoking, cotinine, ALT, AST, BUN, GGT, LDH, diabetes, hypertension, and ACR in addition to Model II), the Q3 and Q4 quartiles had a higher risk of hyperuricemia (Q3: OR:1.24, 95%CI=1.04–1.48; Q4: OR: 1.29, 95%CI=1.06–1.56; P for trend <0.05). Here, GPT is linked to hyperuricemia.
