The effect of mini-dose aspirin on renal function ...[Arthritis Rheum. 2000] - PubMed Result

I just found this abstract clarifying why aspirin is used in the dilution method. You can read it in "science-ese" at the link, but basically large doses of aspirin cause the body to excrete more uric acid.

I don't know if uric acid is tested and if it is, how wide the range of "normal" might be, but I am certain this is why the dilution method calls for aspirin in twice the recommended dose.

Does anyone know what the ranges are for the test?

"Aspirin is known to have a bimodal effect on the renal handling of uric acid (UA). High dosages (>3 gm/day) are uricosuric, while low dosages (1-2 gm/day) cause UA retention." (from above article)
