Appearance of ureterorenal stones after gouty arthropathy: a retrospective cohort study for ethnic disparity.

CONCLUSION: Among males, aboriginal Taiwanese patients exhibited gouty arthropathy at younger ages than did non-aboriginal Taiwanese because of a higher rate of alcoholic hepatitis. The longer time until stone appearance after gouty arthropathy was attributed to alcoholic diuresis. Decreasing alcohol consumption may postpone or halt the development of gouty arthropathy.
