Text: In analyses that adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, protein intake, and creatinine clearance, blood lead level was significantly related to serum urate level (beta coefficient [+ / - SE] = 0. 23 + / - 0. 11, P = 0. 03), and body lead burdens were related to all indices of urate excretion (serum urate : beta coefficient = 0. 023 + / - 0. 005, P < 0. 0001 ; daily urate excretion : beta coefficient = -1. 55 + / - 0. 40, P = 0. 0002 ; urate clearance : beta coefficient = -0. 030 + / - 0. 006, P < 0. 0001 ; fractional urate excretion : beta coefficient = -0. 034 + / - 0. 006, P < 0. 0001).
