ABSTRACT
Gout disease in our country as both exogenous factors (dietary habits, professions, etc.) and endogenous factors (sex, inheritance, etc.) play a polygenic role in its incidence. Those conditions resulting in hyperuricemia (diseases, drugs, etc.) facilitate the clinical manifestations. But a genetic determinant in the articular reaction in front of an accumulation of uric acid crystals or in the development of such crystallization is a fundamental factor in the manifestation of the disease. In our series we were able to confirm the high incidence of arterial hypertension, renal lithiasis and renal participation in gout. The role of lead and of certain professions in favouring the hyperuricemia is suggested. A classification of gout, from a functional point of view, must include both the clinical form and the analysis of the whole renal function, and the renal handling of uric acid. This is mandatory not only for the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease but to set the basis of its adequate management.
