Urate (see other urate images)
What pathophysiologic features exist in Dalmatians regarding uric acid metabolism and excretion?

d. Higher serum uric acid levels in Dalmatians predisposes to gout
b. Dalmatians have abnormal uric acid transport across hepatic membranes, limiting uric acid metabolism
