Associations of Serum Uric Acid Level With Liver Enzymes, Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, and Liver Fibrosis in Korean Men and Women: A Cross-Sectional Study Using Nationally Representative Data.

High SUA levels may be associated with elevated liver enzymes and NAFLD, mainly in women. Even in women with normal ALT levels, SUA levels may predict the NAFLD status. Hyperuricemia may predict advanced liver FIB in both men and women with NAFLD. Further studies investigating the causal effects of SUA on liver damage are required.
