Therefore, the detection of gout kidney injury-related risk factors and early diagnostic biomarkers of gout kidney injury are essential for the prevention and early diagnosis of the disease. This article reviews the progress of research on risk factors and early diagnostic biomarkers of gout and kidney injury.
