Effect of Hypouricemic Agents on Serum Carbohydrate-Deficient Transferrin in Gouty Patients

  • Chapter
Purine and Pyrimidine Metabolism in Man VIII

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 370))

Abstract

Carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) was demonstrated to be a reliable biochemical marker of alcohol abuse by Stibler et al(1, 2). CDT is currently regarded as the most accurate biological indicator of recent, heavy alcohol consumption. Alcohol consumption has been reported to be closely related to hyperuricemia and gout(3). The measurement of CDT in gouty patients is considered to be helpful on their management of hyperuricemia.
