Uric acid excretion: quantitative assessment from spot, midmorning serum and urine samples.

Uric acid excretion can be measured in milligrams of urinary uric acid per decilitre of glomerular filtrate by obtaining the product of urinary uric acid and serum creatinine concentrations and dividing by the urine creatinine (all concentrations in mg/dL). In 29 normal adult men, the excretion rate in spot, midmorning samples was 0.4 +/- 0.1 (SD) mg of uric acid per decilitre of glomerular filtrate. Eight of 36 untreated gouty men excreted acid at a rate more than three standard deviations above normal. Excretion of uric acid is conveniently and physiologically assessed by this simple method.

Pancreatic cyst complicated by major arterial erosion and gastrointestinal haemorrhage.

Uncommonly, pancreatic cysts are complicated by the erosion of certain adjacent arteries and serious gastrointestinal haemorrhage. This diagnosis should be entertained in any patient with chronic pancreatitis who presents with unexplained gastrointestinal blood loss, whether acute or chronic, a pulsatile mass in the epigastrium, and an associated bruit. Selective caeliac axis angiography may not only confirm the diagnosis, but provide precise anatomical information as a guide to the surgeon in planning treatment. The surgical treatment of choice is transcystic ligation of the bleeding vessel, followed by internal cyst drainage.
