Abstract

Hyperuricemia, unlike clinical gout, is extremely common in renal transplant patients. The high prevalence of hyperuricemia is related to prolonged exposure to cyclosporine rather than to its dose or serum concentration. Serum creatinine levels do not show significant correlation with hyperuricemia, behaving more like a surrogate marker for cyclosporine dose and trough level. The low incidence of gout in renal transplant patients, despite the hyperuricemia, may be related to the prolonged immunosuppression effect.
