A Retrospective Cohort Study of the Effect of Gout on Mortality Among Patients with a History of Kidney Transplantation.

However, gout was a predictor of mortality among patients with no comorbidities, suggesting that gout is an early warning sign of poor health in kidney transplantation patients.
