In normal or hyperuricemic subjects, the average values of serum and salivary uric acid concentration are very similar in each group of subjects. After absorption of a uricosuric drug, benzbromarone, a study of the variations of uric acid concentrations in the serum and saliva shows that they are parallel, which shows the stricts dependence salivary excretion on plasma concentration.
