Serum vitamin C levels and their correlation with chronic kidney disease in adults: a nationwide study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Inflammation and oxidative stress play significant roles in the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Given the recognized antioxidant properties of vitamin C, our study aimed to explore the correlation between CKD and serum vitamin C levels.

Methods

Data were gathered from the 2017-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Results

Our study comprised 4969 participants, revealing an overall CKD prevalence of 15.0%. The
