title: Fructose intake: is there an association with uric acid levels in nondialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease patients?
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Fructose intake has increased dramatically in consequence of the consumption of fructose-based sweetened foods and beverages. Research suggests that high fructose intake has a strong association with uric acid (UA) levels and worse prognosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of fructose intake on plasma UA levels in nondialysis- dependent CKD patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  Fifty-two patients on stages 3-5 (64.2 ± 9.6 years, 24 men, glomerular filtration rate of 30.5 ± 10.3 ml/ min) were divided into two groups: high fructose intake (>50 g/d, n=29, 61.7 ± 9.3 years) and low fructose intake (
