Abstract

A patient with sickle cell disease complicated by gouty arthritis is reported. Studies with ¹⁴C labeled uric acid and glycine, and discrete renal function tests indicate that both overproduction of uric acid and diminished excretion of urate due to decreased nephron mass contributed to hyperuricemia.
