Association between the uric acid to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and alanine transaminase in Chinese short stature children and adolescents: A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Uric acid to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR), the ratio of uric acid to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, is a newly proposed marker of metabolic abnormalities. There are few previous studies directly investigating the relationship between UHR and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), especially in short stature populations, however, short stature children and adolescents are more likely to have metabolic disorders. This research aimed to investigate the relationship between the UHR and ALT in children and adolescents with short stature.

Methods

In this cross-sectional analysis, the clinical data of 1,510 children with height below -2 SD who were evaluated at the Department of Endocrinology, Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from 1 Mar
