Objectives To examine the association between comorbidities and serum urate (SU), gout and comorbidities, and to determine whether the association between gout and comorbidities is independent of SU. Methods We performed a case-control study using UK... Read More about Association between serum urate, gout and comorbidities: a case–control study using data from the UK Biobank.
