Abstract
Renal disease is a well recognized complication of primary gout but it is less well recognized that patients with primary renal disease may also develop gout. Chronic lead nephropathy is the best recognized example of this, with 50% of these patients suffering from gout. However, gout also occurs in patients with primary renal disease not due to lead and, in the present study, patients with chronic lead nephropathy have been excluded.
