Talk:Hyperuricemia

Edits 16 Feb 09 - Shohl's Solution
In the Treatment section, the substance Shohl's Solution was misspelled. Interestingly, many other pages on the net just copied this Wikipage with the same spelling error. I corrected the error on this Wikipage.

In the process of discovering the spelling error I also happened upon the fact that this substance is no longer produced and was replaced by a suitable commercial substitute called Bicitra® back in 1993. I added this information as a parenthetical and added the reference to a University of Iowa (UI) webpage as the citation. Additionally, I archived that UI webpage on WebCite® and used their suggested format for the citation text.

There was a cleanup tag present in this section. Since I did do some "cleanup" I removed the tag. However, I did not review any other content in this section.

Finally, in the process of learning how to edit a Wikipage I inadvertantly saved a revision with the sandbox heading. So I had to save another version with that heading removed(sorry). Spookmaster (talk) 10:42, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Uric acid crystals and blood pressure
Precipitation of uric acid crystals, and conversely their dissolution, is known to be dependent on the concentration of uric acid in solution, pH, sodium concentration, and temperature. Established treatments address these parameters.

Would not pressure be a valid dependent. Is it possible that lower blood pressures at night may cause the solution to migrate to a salt and enter joints wiuth evem lower pressures? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.69.248.22 (talk) 19:07, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Possible contradiction with 'gout' article
Hi,

Hope I'm not being too ignorant but there appears to be a contradiction, in this article, with the article on 'gout'.

This article appears to state a purine-rich diet is a possible cause whereas the 'gout' article states recent studies have shown there is not a link.

Perhaps it's a subtle distinction regarding gout and the main cause of gout, hyperuriceamia.--Gblackbones (talk) 14:43, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

With all respect, the article is a mess
This article contains a lot of good information, but it's so convoluted and in places self-contradictory, has unsubstantiated claims (esp. about treatment) and is generally not what you'd call "readable." I look at the NIH's clear and informative article (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK459218/) and wish WP could just copy and paste once in a while rather than try to reinvent the wheel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhoughton1 (talk • contribs) 04:50, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
