Elevated Serum Uric Acid in Benign Convulsions with Mild Gastroenteritis in Children

Abstract

We have confirmed that serum uric acid is elevated in CwG patients even after correcting for their dehydration status, and that this was not a postictal phenomenon. Highly elevated serum uric acid in CwG could be a useful clinical indicator of CwG in patients with acute gastroenteritis.
