  1. LDH indicates lactate dehydrogenase; BIL, total bilirubin; RBC, red blood cell count; RDW, red cell distribution width; HCT, hematocrit; HGB, hemoglobin; MCV, mean cell volume; MCH, mean cell hemoglobin; and MCHC, mean cell hemoglobin concentration.
  2. Effect sizes from linear regression of variable as a function of hyperuricemia case/control status, adjusted for sex and age. Hyperuricemia was defined as serum uric acid > 7.0 mg/dL in males or > 6.0 mg/dL in females.
