Background: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder associated with cardiovascular and renal complications. The serum uric acid to creatinine ratio and estimated glomerular filtration rate are important markers used to assess kidney function in patients with type 2 diabetes. This study aimed to find the correlation between serum uric acid to creatinine ratio and estimated glomerular filtration rate to various parameters among the diabetes patients. Methods: It is an observational hospital-based, cross-sectional study. Patients with a diagnosis of diabetes for three years or more duration were selected. This study designed to serum uric acid to creatinine ratio with estimated glomerular filtration rate and its relationship with other biochemical parameters. The Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula was used to calculate estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). eGFR (mL/min∙1.73 m2) = 186 × (Scr) –1.154 × (age) – 0.203 × (0.742 female). Low eGFR was defined as eGFR
