    Abstract:
    An echographic study of the kidneys was performed in 24 men with proved gout aged 40 to 50 and a disease duration of 10-20 yrs. On the basis of case history data urolithiasis was noted in 4 patients, whereas by echodiagnosis it was found in 12. Cysts were detected in 6 patients with gout complicated by urolithiasis and in 1 patient without it. Echoroentgenography was shown to be a highly informative method in the diagnosis of urolithiasis and cystic regeneration of the kidneys opening up prospects for earlier treatment of complications in gout.
