Urate crystal deposition in hyperuricemic children: a dual energy computed tomography study

CONCLUSIONS: Urate deposition can occur in children with HUA, and these deposits occur more frequently in hyperuricemic children with a history of arthritis symptoms. Also, the urate deposition in the first MTP joint and calcaneus was more prevalent than in other joints. It is important to give more attention to hyperuricemic children.PMID:33488861 | PMC:PMC7811330 | DOI:10.5114/aoms/89835
