Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral inosine loading is a new method to evaluate the effects of purine on urate metabolism. However, individuals respond differently to acute purine intake, and the effects on the metabolism of other purines remain to be explored. METHODS 35 male participants are recruited. Participants received 500 mg of inosine orally after an overnight fast, and blood and urine samples are collected before and at various time points over 180 min after inosine administration. RESULTS The serum urate concentration is significantly different between the hyperuricemia (n = 14) and non-hyperuricemia (n = 16) groups before inosine intake, but there is no in urate change after inosine intake. When grouped according to the baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), the increase in urate level in the high-eGFR group is significantly higher than that in the low-eGFR group (p = 0.047). The high-eGFR group showed higher levels of serum xanthine and xanthine oxidase (XOD), the key enzyme in urate synthesis, after inosine loading (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The increase in urate level is positively related to eGFR after oral acute inosine administration, which may have been due to a higher level of XOD.

Central Adiposity Increases Risk of Kidney Stone Disease through Effects on Serum Calcium Concentrations. J Am Soc Nephrol 2023; 34:1991-2011. [PMID: 37787550 PMCID: PMC10703081 DOI: 10.1681/asn.0000000000000238] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2023] [Revised: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/14/2023] [Indexed: 10/04/2023] Open
Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Kidney stone disease is a common disorder with poorly understood pathophysiology. Observational and genetic studies indicate that adiposity is associated with an increased risk of kidney stone disease. However, the relative contribution of general and central adipose depots and the mechanisms by which effects of adiposity on kidney stone disease are mediated have not been defined. Using conventional and genetic epidemiological techniques, we demonstrate that general and central adiposity are independently associated with kidney stone disease. In addition, one mechanism by which central adiposity increases risk of kidney stone disease is by increasing serum calcium concentration. Therapies targeting adipose depots may affect calcium homeostasis and help to prevent kidney stone disease. BACKGROUND Kidney stone disease affects approximately 10% of individuals in their lifetime and is frequently recurrent. The disease is linked to obesity, but the mechanisms mediating this association are uncertain. METHODS Associations of adiposity and incident kidney stone disease were assessed in the UK Biobank over a mean of 11.6 years/person. Genome-wide association studies and Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were undertaken in the UK Biobank, FinnGen, and in meta-analyzed cohorts to identify factors that affect kidney stone disease risk. RESULTS Observational analyses on UK Biobank data demonstrated that increasing central and general adiposity is independently associated with incident kidney stone formation. Multivariable MR, using meta-analyzed UK Biobank and FinnGen data, established that risk of kidney stone disease increases by approximately 21% per one standard deviation increase in body mass index (BMI, a marker of general adiposity) independent of waist-to-hip ratio (WHR, a marker of central adiposity) and approximately 24% per one standard deviation increase of WHR independent of BMI. Genetic analyses indicate that higher WHR, but not higher BMI, increases risk of kidney stone disease by elevating adjusted serum calcium concentrations (β=0.12 mmol/L); WHR mediates 12%-15% of its effect on kidney stone risk in this way. CONCLUSIONS Our study indicates that visceral adipose depots elevate serum calcium concentrations, resulting in increased risk of kidney stone disease. These findings highlight the importance of weight loss in individuals with recurrent kidney stones and suggest that therapies targeting adipose depots may affect calcium homeostasis and contribute to prevention of kidney stone disease.

Abstract
Alterations in the circulating concentrations of uric acid and its degradation product, allantoin, might account for the systemic pro-oxidant state and the increased cardiovascular risk in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We sought to address this issue by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of the association between the plasma/serum concentrations of uric acid and allantoin and RA. We searched PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science from inception to 20 June 2023 for studies comparing plasma/serum concentrations of uric acid and allantoin between RA patients and healthy controls. We assessed the risk of bias with the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for analytical studies and the certainty of evidence with the Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) Working Group system. In the 19 studies selected for analysis, there were non-significant differences in uric acid concentrations between RA patients and controls (standard mean difference, SMD = 0.11, 95% CI -0.07 to 0.30, p = 0.22; I2 = 87.9%, p < 0.001; low certainty of evidence). By contrast, the concentrations of allantoin were significantly higher in RA patients (SMD = 1.10, 95% CI 0.66 to 1.55, p < 0.001; I2 = 55.6%, p = 0.08; extremely low certainty of evidence). In meta-regression, a significant association was observed between the SMD of uric acid concentrations and body mass index, a risk factor for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (t = 3.35, p = 0.007). Our study has shown a significant increase in the concentrations of the oxidative stress biomarker allantoin in patients with RA. Further research is warranted to investigate the interplay between uric acid, allantoin, redox balance, and cardiovascular disease in this group. (PROSPERO registration number: CRD42023441127).

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2023; 24:306. [PMID: 37072779 PMCID: PMC10111842 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-06414-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2022] [Accepted: 04/10/2023] [Indexed: 04/20/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The results of studies exploring the association between serum uric acid (SUA) and bone mineral density (BMD) have been controversial and inconsistent. We thus sought to explore whether SUA levels were independently associated with BMD in patients with osteoporosis (OP). METHODS This cross-sectional analysis was conducted using prospectively obtained data from the Affiliated Kunshan Hospital of Jiangsu University database pertaining to 1,249 OP patients that were hospitalized from January 2015 - March 2022. BMD was the outcome variable for this study, while baseline SUA levels were the exposure variable. Analyses were adjusted for a range of covariates including age, gender, body mass index (BMI) and a range of other baseline laboratory and clinical findings. RESULTS SUA levels and BMD were independently positively associated with one another in OP patients. Following adjustment for age, gender, BMI, blood urae nitrogen (BUN), and 25(OH)D levels, a 0.0286 g/cm2 (β, 0.0286; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.0193-0.0378, P < 0.000001) increase in BMD was observed per 100 μmol/L rise in SUA levels. A non-linear association between SUA and BMD was also observed for patients with a BMI < 24 kg/m2, with a SUA level inflection point at 296 μmol/L in the adjusted smoothed curve. CONCLUSIONS These analyses revealed SUA levels to be independently positively associated with BMD in OP patients, with an additional non-linear relationship between these two variables being evident for individuals of normal or low body weight. This suggests that SUA levels may exert a protective effect on BMD at concentrations below 296 μmol/L in normal- and low-weight OP patients, whereas SUA levels above this concentration were unrelated to BMD.

Effects of elevated serum urate on cardiometabolic and kidney function markers in a randomised clinical trial of inosine supplementation. Sci Rep 2022; 12:12887. [PMID: 35902652 PMCID: PMC9334273 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-17257-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2022] [Accepted: 07/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
In observational studies, serum urate positively associates with cardiometabolic and kidney diseases. We analyzed data from a randomised placebo-controlled trial to determine whether moderate hyperuricemia induced by inosine affects cardiometabolic and kidney function markers. One hundred and twenty post-menopausal women were recruited into a 6-month randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of inosine for bone health. Change from baseline in the following pre-specified endpoints was analyzed: body mass index; blood pressure; lipid profile; C-reactive protein; fasting glucose; insulin; HbA1c; serum creatinine; and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Despite increases in serum urate levels (+ 0.17 mmol/L at week 6, P < 0.0001), no significant between-group differences were observed in cardiometabolic markers, with the exception of lower fasting glucose concentrations with inosine at week 19. In the inosine group, change in serum urate correlated with change in serum creatinine (r = 0.41, P = 0.0012). However, there was no between-group difference in serum creatinine values. Over the entire study period, there was no significant difference in eGFR (ANCOVA P = 0.13). Reduction in eGFR was greater in the inosine group at Week 13 (mean difference − 4.6 mL/min/1.73 m2, false detection rate P = 0.025), with no between-group difference in eGFR at other time points. These data indicate that increased serum urate does not negatively influence body mass index, blood pressure, lipid profile, or glycaemic control. Serum urate changes associated with inosine intake correlate with changes in serum creatinine, but this does not lead to clinically important reduction in kidney function over 6 months.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Patients with gout frequently have low urinary pH, which is associated with the nephrolithiasis. However, the specific distribution of urinary pH and potential relationship of acidic urine pH to broader manifestations of kidney disease in gout are still poorly understood.
Methods
A 2016–2020 population-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 3565 gout patients in the dedicated gout clinic of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University to investigate the association between low urinary pH and kidney disease. We studied patients that we defined to have “primary gout”, based on the absence of > stage 2 CKD. All subjects underwent 14 days of medication washout and 3-day standardized metabolic diet. We obtained general medical information, blood and urine biochemistries, and renal ultrasound examination on the day of the visit. The primary readouts were urine pH, eGFR, nephrolithiasis, renal cysts, microhematuria, and proteinuria. Patients were assigned into 5 subgroups (urine pH ≤5.0, 5.0 <pH≤ 5.5, 5.5 <pH< 6.2, 6.2 ≤pH≤ 6.9, and pH >6.9), aligning with the clinical significance of urine pH.
Results
Overall, the median urine pH and eGFR of all patients was 5.63 (IQR 5.37~6.09), and 98.32 (IQR 86.03~110.6), with acidic urine in 46.5% of patients. The prevalence of nephrolithiasis, microhematuria, and proteinuria were 16.9%, 49.5%, and 6.9%, respectively. By univariate analysis, eGFR was significantly associated with age, sex, duration of gout, tophus, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, serum utare, hypertension, diabetes, and urine pH. On multivariable analysis, eGFR was associated with age, sex, diastolic blood pressure, serum uric acid, hypertension, diabetes, and urine pH. Acidic urine pH, especially urine pH < 5.0, was significantly associated with the prevalence of kidney disease, including > stage 1 CKD, nephrolithiasis, kidney cyst, and microhematuria. Patients with 6.2 ≤ urine pH ≤ 6.9 and SU ≤ 480 μmol/L had the highest eGFR with the lowest prevalence of nephrolithiasis, microhematuria, and proteinuria.
Conclusions
Approximately half of gout subjects had acidic urine pH. Urine pH < 5.0 was associated with significantly increased nephrolithiasis, renal cyst, microhematuria, and proteinuria. The results support prospective clinical investigation of urinary alkalinization in selected gout patients with acidic urine pH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore whether total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglyceride (TG) are mediators in the pathway of body mass index (BMI) on serum urate and determine the proportion of the mediation effect. METHODS This study used observational and two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses to explore the mediation effects of TC, HDL, LDL, and TG in the pathway of BMI on serum urate. We determined the size and the extent to which these lipids mediate any effect of BMI on serum urate. RESULTS Observational analysis results showed that HDL and TG can partially explain the association of BMI on serum urate, and the proportion of mediation effect was 10.2% and 8.9%, respectively. MR results demonstrated that TG has a causal effect on serum urate (β = 0.22, 95% CI: 0.15, 0.29; p = 2.28×10-10.) and its proportion of mediation effect was 14.1%. TC, HDL, and LDL are not the mediators in the pathway of BMI on serum urate in MR estimates. CONCLUSION To a certain extent, TG mediates the effect of BMI on serum urate, and the risk of gout may be reduced by controlling both BMI and TG.

Abstract
Circulation of urate levels is determined by the balance between urate production and excretion, homeostasis regulated by the function of urate transporters in key epithelial tissues and cell types. Our understanding of these physiological processes and identification of the genes encoding the urate transporters has advanced significantly, leading to a greater ability to predict risk for urate-associated diseases and identify new therapeutics that directly target urate transport. Here, we review the identified urate transporters and their organization and function in the renal tubule, the intestinal enterocytes, and other important cell types to provide a fuller understanding of the complicated process of urate homeostasis and its role in human diseases. Furthermore, we review the genetic tools that provide an unbiased catalyst for transporter identification as well as discuss the role of transporters in determining the observed significant gender differences in urate-associated disease risk.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVES Alcohol consumption is associated with hyperuricemia and gout. Previous studies have indicated a role for green tea catechins in uric acid (UA) metabolism. This study aimed to elucidate the acute effect of green tea catechins in terms of enhancing urinary excretion of UA and xanthine/hypoxanthine (Xa/HX; UA precursors) after alcohol ingestion. METHODS In a randomized crossover study, ten healthy Japanese subjects consumed test meals, including a Japanese distilled spirit (Shōchū) with water (SW) or Shōchū with catechin-rich green tea (SC), each containing 20 g of alcohol. The SC contained 617 mg of catechin in total. Serum and urine UA and Xa/HX concentrations were measured. Blood samples were collected after 2.5 h, and urine samples were collected between 0 and 5 h after consuming the test meal. RESULTS Urine UA and Xa/HX excretions were significantly higher in the SC group than in the SW group (UA: SW, 0.45 ± 0.08; SC, 0.52 ± 0.09; Xa/HX: SW, 0.08 ± 0.04; SC, 0.16 ± 0.05 mg/kg/h). UA clearance (CUA) and fractional UA excretion (FEUA) tended to increase more in the SC group than in the SW group (CUA: SW, 7.76 ± 2.14; SC, 8.75 ± 2.23 mL/min/1.73 m2; FEUA: SW, 6.08 ± 1.36; SC, 6.64 ± 1.42%). No significant differences in serum UA and Xa/HX concentrations were observed between two groups. CONCLUSIONS It was concluded that green tea catechins can enhance the excretion of UA and Xa/HX, even though alcohol is ingested. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER UMIN000040076. Retrospectively registered 7 April 2020. https://upload.umin.ac.jp/cgi-open-bin/ctr/ctr_view.cgi?recptno=R000045687 Key Points • Green tea catechins enhance the excretion of uric acid and xanthine/hypoxanthine, even when alcohol is ingested simultaneously. • In case of non-adherence of limiting alcohol intake, catechin-rich green tea may be an effective dietary component to continue dietary therapy.
