Perfluoroalkyl acids, hyperuricemia and gout in adults: Analyses of NHANES 2009-2014.

CONCLUSIONS: In this population-based cross-sectional analysis, we found an association between selected PFAAs and self-reported gout. We also confirmed previous reports of an association between several PFAAs and hyperuricemia. Our study suggests that exposure to PFAAs may be a risk factor for hyperuricemia and gout.
