The value of the uric acid to creatinine ratio and the uric acid to creatinine clearance ratio in predicting 24-hour urinary uric acid excretion was assessed in 49 patients with normal enzyme activity and 22 patients with purine enzyme deficiencies. A 24-hour urinary uric acid to creatinine ratio greater than 0.75 was found in six of nine patients with a partial deficiency of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase and in all patients with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. A ratio of less than 0.10 suggested xanthinuria or severe purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency. Neither ratio calculated from 2-hour timed collections of the 24-hour specimen showed a high correlation with 24-hour urine uric acid excretion in patients with normal enzyme activity, perhaps because of a diurnal variation in urinary uric acid excretion. The spot-urine uric acid to creatinine ratio does not accurately predict the 24-hour urine uric acid excretion in patients with normal enzyme activity.
