A clinical study of hyperuricaemic men.
A group of 43 hyperuricaemic men discovered during the 1967 Rangiora diabetic and metabolic survey was examined clinically in 1968 and their blood chemistry repeated. They were then compared with a control group matched for age. No significant differences were found in the two groups either in physical findings or in biochemical measurements apart from the known differences in serum uric acid and the presence of gout in hyperuricaemics. When the study was repeated on the same group in 1973 still no significant difference was found which could be attributed to the hyperuricaemia.
