Research focused on Uric acid and Hyperuricemia, with related work in Albuminuria, Kidney disease, Diabetes mellitus. Notable publications include 'Identification of the Uric Acid Thresholds Predicting an Increased Total and Cardiovascular Mortality Over 20 Years', 'Is it time to revise the normal range of serum uric acid levels?', and 'Plasma Triglycerides and HDL-C Levels Predict the Development of Diabetic Kidney Disease in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes: The AMD Annals Initiative'.
