Epidemiology of hyperuricemia in an ambulatory elderly population.

The relationship of serum uric acid concentration to age and sex was assessed in 1,701 participants in a geriatric multiphasic screening clinic. Included were 1,067 women and 634 men. The mean uric acid level for men was 6.35 mg/100 ml compared to 5.44 mg/100 ml for women. No statistically significant increases in serum uric acid between age groups were apparent, except for women over 84 years of age. The mean serum urate concentrations found in this geriatric study are higher than those reported for other population groups, suggesting a higher normal value for the elderly.

Grand mal-provoked hyperuricemia.

A significant increase in S-urate was found postictally in 17 patients with two or more grand mal seizures within 24 h. In six patients S-urate was above the level at which hyperuricemic renal failure may develop. Impaired renal function was observed in two patients who had extremely high S-urates. It is proposed that prophylactic procedures against hyperuricemic renal failure should be carried out in all patients with repetitive convulsions.

[Incidence of hyperuricemia in atrioventricular block. Systematic study of 158 cases which required implantation of an isotopic cardiac pacemaker].

This is a study of 158 patients in whom the placement of an isotopic cardiac pacemaker was indicated; this procedure was carried out Broussais Hospital between 1970 and 1975. These patients, whose mean age was 39 (84 males, 47 females, 12 young men and 15 young women) were examined for uricaemia, and the levels compared with the mean for control population. The results were as follows: 91% had uricaemia at a level higher than the controls. Of these, 61% had uricaemia above 70 mg/l in the men and youths of over 15 years of age, and above 60 mg/l in the women and 50 mg/l in the adolescents. The highest uric acid levels were found in adults with post-operative atrio-ventricular block following surgical correction of a congenital cardiac abnormality, and also in children and adolescence with block which appeared to be congenital.
