Method: This study employed a retrospective case analysis, dividing patients into two groups: 16 cases with uric acid levels less than 50 μmol/L (group Level 1), and 240 cases with uric acid levels between 50 μmol/L and 119 μmol/L (group Level 2). Basic data such as age, gender, department, and clinical diagnosis were collected for each patient. Renal indices, including creatinine, urea, β2-microglobulin, and cystatin C, were analyzed and compared. Results: The highest percentage of patients with uremia was found in Level 1, with a rate of 31.25%. In Level 2, the highest percentage of patients had malignant tumors, with a rate of 15.41%. Tumor sites included the liver, lungs, endometrium, ovaries, breasts, stomach, pancreas, colon, hypopharynx, and others. The second highest percentage was 13.75% for patients with lung diseases, followed by 10% for patients with cranio-cerebral diseases. Other prevalent conditions included renal diseases, hematological diseases, multiple injuries, orthopedic diseases, rheumatological-immunological diseases, and cardiac diseases. There were significant differences between the two uric acid level groups in terms of prevalent diseases (P < 0.05). Additionally, gender differences were significant between the two groups (P < 0.05). However, for renal disease indicators, no significant differences were found between the two levels (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The types of diseases presented by patients were related to different low uric acid levels. Most patients‘ renal function indices were within normal reference ranges at different low uric acid levels. The prevalence of different low uric acid levels was related to gender.
