True Uric Acid Values

What are the key arguments against uric acid as a true risk factor for hypertension?

The transport and excretion of uric acid in man; true uric acid in normal cerebrospinal fluid, in plasma, and in ultrafiltrates of plasma.

Human cerebrospinal fluid has been reported to contain a relatively small concentration of uric acid compared to that of plasma (cf. Table II). However, it is not known what proportion of these reported uric acid values is due to chromogenic substances similar to those giving the color reaction for uric acid in plasma (1). The introduction of enzymatic methods for determining uric acid specific...

The Transport and Excretion of Uric Acid in Man. I. True Uric Acid in Normal Cerebrospinal Fluid, in Plasma, and in Ultrafiltrates of Plasma

Cclviii. Uric Acid Synthesis

IN this paper and a subsequent one I propose to describe a method for the investigation of the source of carbon for uric acid synthesis in pigeons. As the method comprises (1) the establishment of the normal characteristics of the relation between uric acid excretion and nitrogen intake (or food intake on a uniform diet) of birds allowed to feed freely and (2) the study of the effects of the ad...

Uric acid stones

The construction of guidelines for management of renal stone disease is complicated by several issues. First, diagnosis is critical to good management, but levels of evidence have not been described for diagnostic tests particularly when there is no comparative test of 100% sensitivity and specificity. Second, the disease is managed by a variety of specialties, mainly urology, and hence nephrol...
