Summary
The effect of 9 nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on the renal excretion of uric acid was studied in patients with normal renal function. Diflunisal, Azapropazone and Indomethacin caused an incrase and Piroxicam a decrease in the uric acid excretion. Other drugs studied had no significant influence.
