- Abstract: Primary gout is an as yet undefined inborn error of metabolism characterized by hyperuricemia, recurrent attacks of acute arthritis ordinarily responsive to colchicine, and in many instances eventually by tophaus deposit of urate. Also secondary gouty symptom complexes can be induced by various causes. The kidney is involved about 15 ~ 20% of gout and represented clinically as albuminuria, which may persist for several decades before nitrogen retention ensues, and progressively reveal the impairment of concentrating ability and delayed excretion of PSP. This patient has been chronically suffered from the right flank pain and intermittent oliguria due to bilateral ureteral obstruction by uric acid stone and crystals for five years and exploratory operation for stone turned out as gouty kidney complicated in the polycystic kidney. The authors report this case with review of the literature.
