Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal hypouricemia (RHUC), a rare inherited disorder characterized by impaired uric acid reabsorption and subsequent profound hypouricemia, occurs mainly due to variants in SLC22A12 or SLC2A9. Only anecdotal cases and one small-scale RHUC screening study have been reported in the Chinese population. METHODS A total of 19 patients with RHUC from 17 unrelated families were recruited from our center. The medical history, clinical manifestations, biochemical exam, and clinical outcomes were collected. Next-generation sequencing-based targeted gene sequencing or whole exon sequencing was performed. RESULTS A total of 22 variants in SLC22A12 or SLC2A9 were found in 19 patients. The variant c.944G>A (p.W315X) in SLC2A9 was identified in three patients. Three variants c.165C>A (p.D55E), c.1549_1555delGAGACCC (p.E517Rfs*17), and c.1483T>C (p.W495R) in SLC22A12 and three variants c.1215+1G>A (splicing variant), c.643A>C (p.T215P), and c.227C>A (p.S76X) in SLC2A9 were novel. A proportion of 10 out of 19 patients presented with exercise-induced acute kidney injury (EIAKI). The renal outcome was favorable. Five patients had nephrolithiasis, in whom three had hypercalciuria. CONCLUSION The current study reported six novel variants in SLC22A12 and SLC2A9 genes of Chinese patients with RHUC. The variant c.944G>A (p.W315X) in SLC2A9 may be common in Chinese patients. EIAKI is the main clinical phenotype associated with RHUC in our cohort, with a favorable outcome. Hypercalciuria presented in some RHUC patients is a new finding.

In vivo anti-hyperuricemia and anti-gouty arthritis effects of the ethanol extract from Amomumvillosum Lour. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 161:114532. [PMID: 37002568 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.114532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2023] [Revised: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023] Open
Abstract
The incidence of hyperuricemia and gout has been increasing year by year, and it is showing a younger trend. However, the first-line drugs currently used for hyperuricemia and gouty arthritis have serious side effects that limit their clinical application. Amomum villosum Lour. has been widely used in China for thousands of years as a traditional medical and edible plant, and previous screening showed that the ethanol extract of Amomum villosum Lour. could effectively inhibit the activity of xanthine oxidase. Based on this discovery, this paper had achieved in-depth mechanism research. The results showed that the ethanol extract of Amomum villosum Lour. could treat hyperuricemia by reducing the production of uric acid via inhibition of xanthine oxidase and increasing the excretion of uric acid via regulation of urate transporters. Meanwhile, the extract also showed a certain protective effect on hepatic and renal damage caused by hyperuricemia. With the formation of extensive uric acid, gouty arthritis will be induced by the deposition of monosodium urate in the joint. The extract could also relieve the inflammation by reducing the expression of inflammatory cytokines. In conclusion, the extract deserves focused research and development as a potential medicine, health care product or supplemented food for the prevention and treatment of hyperuricemia and gouty arthritis.

Renal hypouricemia in a recipient of living-donor kidney transplantation: a case report and literature review. CEN Case Rep 2022; 11:177-183.

Abstract
Hypouricemia in kidney transplant (KT) recipients is rare since they usually have subnormal kidney function which raises serum uric acid level. Recently, interests in pathogenesis of hypouricemia have been increasing due to the understanding of the role of uric acid transporter in renal hypouricemia (RHUC). We herein report the case of RHUC consequently developed in a KT recipient from a living donor with RHUC diagnosed by the detailed urinary and genetic test. A 73-year-old Japanese man underwent KT, and the donor was his wife who had hypouricemia [serum uric acid (S-UA) 0.6 mg/dL]. Nine months after KT, the recipient's S-UA was low (1.5 mg/dL) with serum creatinine (S-Cr) of 1.56 mg/dL, and fractional excretion of UA (FEUA) was high (59.7%; normal < 10%), indicating RHUC. Regarding the donor's information, S-Cr, S-UA, and FEUA were 0.95 mg/dL, 1.0 mg/dL, and 54.5%, respectively. To investigate further on the pathogenesis of RHUC in both the recipient and the donor, we performed genetic tests. The donor had a homozygous mutation of W258X in the SLC22A12 gene and the recipient had a wild type of W258X. Finally, we reviewed the previous literature on RHUC among KT recipients and discussed the strategy of follow-up for these patients.
