This study assesses the urine microalbumin to urine creatinine ratio (uACR) with uric acid and the association with the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (UA/HDL-C) ratio in Korean adults. Data from the 2019 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey was procured and included 5,845 adults aged 20 years or older. Several key findings were obtained in the present study. After adjusting for the related variables (age, gender, hypertension, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease), the uACR was found to be positively associated with the quartiles of the UA/HDL-C ratio (P=0.002). Moreover, after adjusting for related variables, the odds ratio (OR) of albuminuria (uACR≥30.0 mg/g) was not significant in quartile 2 (Q2) (OR, 1.015; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.757∼1.361) and Q3 (OR, 1.090; 95% CI, 0.811∼1.465) but was significantly higher in Q4 (OR, 1.416; 95% CI, 1.044∼1.921) as compared to Q1 of the UA/HDL-C ratio. We conclude that since the UA/HDL-C ratio is positively associated with albuminuria in Korean adults, an increased UA/HDL-C ratio could be applied as a useful measure to assess albuminuria in Korean adults.
