    My husband who has suffered from gout since his late teens is now in mid-life, end-stage kidney failure. Otherwise healthy, he's now faced with dialysis until a kidney donor and transplant become available. I understand that certain universities are doing studies on the correlation between gout at an early age and mid-life kidney failure. Are you aware of any of these studies being conducted and what is your assessment of such a link?  Many thanks.
