Abstract

Renal clearance studies in five patients during and after an episode of diabetic ketosis showed that there was decreased uric acid excretion and consequent elevation of the serum level. This was due to altered tubular handling of urate. Similar renal changes were produced by the infusion of beta-hydroxybutyrate in three normal subjects.
