%X <B>BACKGROUND: </B>Some studies have suggested that uric acid has antioxidant properties that can prevent bone loss, but the relationship between uric acid and bone mineral density is controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between UA and BMD in patients with CKD stage 1-3.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>We extracted 13,047 participants from the NHANES database, including 7342 male subjects and 5705 female subjects. Weighted multiple linear regression analysis was used to investigate the correlation between UA and BMD in patients with CKD stages 1-3.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>In patients with CKD stage 1-3, UA was significantly correlated with BMD. In the male group, UA was positively associated with BMD (β, 7.94 [95%CI, 4.95, 10.94]). In the female group, there was a negative relationship between them (β, -5.33 [95%CI, -8.77, -1.89]). The relationship between UA and BMD in male group showed an inverted U-shaped curve, and UA was positively correlated before 6.1 mg/dl and negatively correlated after 6.1 mg/dl. The relationship was basically negative in the female group.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>For the patients with CKD stage 1-3, the relationship between UA and BMD showed an inverted U-shaped curve in the males, while the relationship was largely negative in the females.
