A Controlled Study of the Effect of Long Term Allopurinol Treatment on Renal Function in Gout

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 122A))

Abstract

An association between gout and kidney dysfunction has been long recognised. It is a reasonable presumption that gout might be the cause of the renal disease.1 Hypertension, urolithiasis and urinary infection may contribute to this association but it is far from certain whether hyperuricaemia itself may exert a deleterious effect. The available data have been variously interpreted as showing that hyperuricaemia is detrimental2 or of no consequence.3
