Serum urate in gout – correction

27/07/202424/07/2024 by Bob Dunn

The Gout and Pseudogout and Monoarthritis pages have been updated with a correction regarding serum urate.
The statement ‘< 450 µmol/L in untreated patients almost excludes gout’ now reads ‘< 250 µmol/L in untreated patients almost excludes gout’. Thanks to William for picking up this error.

Formula of the day

Urea:Creatinine ratio = urea (mmol/L) / creatinine (mmol/L) (NB not micromol/L)

Medical wisdom

"I'm sorry but I can't tell you who the best GPs are in this area - we don't see any of their patients here in the ED."

Have your say

US should change clinical care in the ED only when it is performed by someone
