title: Renal disease from excess uric acid.
abstract: Excess uric acid or urate deposition is a common element in three different forms of renal disease: acute uric acid nephropathy, chronic urate nephropathy, and uric acid nephrolithiasis. Clinical features vary with each form. Therapy is directed at decreasing production of uric acid, increasing its solubility, or both. When possible, preventive measures are taken.
