title: [Epidemiologic study of uricemia in healthy persons 1 to 20 years of age].
abstract: We investigated the frequency of hyperuricaemia in scoliotic subjects age 1 to 20 years. Concentration of uric acid was determined by Acc-Uric test in which the normal values are 200 to 420 mumol/L in males and 140 to 340 mumol/L in females. Hyperuricaemia was found in 49 of 400 subjects (18.5%), in 12 males (6%) and 37 females (18.5%). Hyperuricaemia was found in 10 of 49 subjects age of 2 years (20.4%), more often in females than in males. Frequency of hyperuricaemia was equal in all groups except in age of 5, 15, 16 and 20 years.
