[Cancer and hyperuricemia--an analysis of 316 cancer patients].
Blood uric acid level in patients with solid tumor was seldom reported. Blood uric acid was measured in 316 cancer patients, 173 men and 143 women and was found higher in all patients than in normal subjects. The positive rate for cancer of kidney and urinary bladder was 93.30% and 90.90%, respectively. For other types of cancer, it was 51.27-69.23%. The level of urea was elevated in 75% of the hyperuricemic patients. The mechanisms of hyperuricemia in cancer patients were briefly discussed.
