Elevated Serum Uric Acid in Benign Convulsions with Mild Gastroenteritis in Children.

CONCLUSIONS: We have confirmed that serum uric acid is elevated in CwG patients even after correcting for their dehydration status, and that this was not a postictal phenomenon. Highly elevated serum uric acid in CwG could be a useful clinical indicator of CwG in patients with acute gastroenteritis. PMID: 31591838 [PubMed]
