ANNALS OF THE RHEUMATIC DISEASES and after the ingestion of RNA

Methods BSP excretion tests were performed on 73 patients with gout (defined as recurrent acute arthritis associated with an elevated serum uric acid level),* sixteen patients with asymptomatic hyperuricaemia not due to renal failure, and thirty control subjects who were either hospital patients (none of whom had known liver disease, gout, or hyperuricaemia) or healthy volunteers. The details of the patients and controls are shown in Table I.
