In an effort to study whether drug therapy is essential in the treatment of hyperuricemia, the authors examined the serum levels of uric acid and related substances in a total of 112 males who had undergone annual checkups for five consecutive years.
Statistical analyses showed that the uric acid levels at the 5th year's checkup were not necessarily higher than those at the 1st checkup and except in a limited number of subjects with exceedingly high initial levels of 9.0 mg/dl or more, fell within normal ranges.
No convincing cause-effect relationship was obtained between hyperuncemia and various clinical manifestations except gout.
Principle component analyses of test results including serum uric acid showed that the serum uric acid falls in the elderly people-oriented category which includes Rohler's index, LDII, hemoglobin, and blood sugar.
