Serum uric acid levels increase in postmenopausal women, but decrease when hormone therapy (HT) is administered. No study has, however, evaluated the effects of different types HT on serum levels. We therefore examined whether estrogen (ET), plus progestogen (EPT), and tibolone use affected this population.We performed a retrospective cohort women. From 2005 to 2015, women who had undergone blood acid-level testing at least twice were enrolled. Participants grouped according regimen: ET,...
