Abstrakt: In a retrospective study we found that the incidence of gout in patients with Dupuytren's disease is 3.5%. The mean serum uric acid was 330 mumol/l. (5.5 mg./100 ml.) in men and 240 mumol./l. (4.0 mg./100 ml.) in women. The rate of hyperuricaemia was 7%. These are not significantly higher than the expected figures in Britain.
