Plasma specimens from male blood donors gave a normal range for uric acid concentration of 3.3 to 7.5 mg/100 ml. Specimens from male outpatients, which were received in the laboratory for the analysis of urea but not of uric acid and proved to have normal concentrations of urea, showed a positively skewed distribution of values for uric acid from which a ;normal range' of 3.2 to 7.6 mg/100 ml was derived. We suggest that specimens from outpatients selected in the way described here may prove to be a convenient source of data for determining the normal range of other substances.
男性献血者的血浆样本中尿酸浓度正常范围为3.3至7.5毫克/100毫升。男性门诊患者的样本被送到实验室用于分析尿素而非尿酸,且尿素浓度经证实正常,这些样本显示尿酸值呈正偏态分布,由此得出的“正常范围”为3.2至7.6毫克/100毫升。我们认为,以这里描述的方式选取的门诊患者样本可能会被证明是确定其他物质正常范围的便利数据来源。
