- not-all-hyperuricemia
- Assertion
- Hyperuricemia is necessary for gout, but most people with it do not develop gout: about 22% of men with serum urate above 9.0 mg/dL develop gout within five years, and only 24% of people with asymptomatic hyperuricemia had urate deposits on dual-energy CT.
- Quote

About 22% of males who had serum urate level greater than 9.0 mg/dL develop gout in 5 years ... only 24% of participants with asymptomatic hyperuricemia had urate deposits in joints or tendons detected on DECT
