Description
Gout is considered as an unusual disease in females. We analyzed the clinical features and laboratory tests in 43 female patients with gout. Of the female patients,20 (47%) had secondary gout, compared with 3 (5%) in the 60 age-matched male patients with gout. The secondary gout in females was associated with renal dysfunction and administration of diuretics. There were no signficant differences in other clinical features or laboratory tests between male and female patients. No differences were found in hormonal examinations compared with the female control group. Among a total of 543 patients with gout who visited our out-patient clinic in 1991,8 (1.47%)were females. This percentage was lower than tnat reported previously in Japan and that reported in other countries.<BR>These findings suggested a decrease in the fraction of female patients with gout, which might reflect the less frequent use of diuretics and/or the increase in the male patients with primary gout.
