Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver transplantation is treatment option for patients with end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. Renal function deterioration significantly impacts the survival rates of liver recipients, and serum uric acid (SUA) is associated with both acute and chronic renal function disorders. Thus, our study aimed to assess the relationship and predictive value of preoperative SUA level and postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). METHODS We conducted a prospective observational study on 87 patients undergoing LDLT. Blood samples were collected immediately before LDLT, and renal function status was followed up for 3 consecutive days postoperatively. RESULTS Low SUA levels (cutoff value 4.15 mg/dL) were associated with a high risk of early posttransplantation AKI. The area under the curve was 0.73 (sensitivity, 79.2%; specificity, 59.4%). Although not statistically significant, there were no deaths in the non-AKI group but two in the early AKI group secondary to liver graft dysfunction in addition to early AKI within the first month after LDLT. CONCLUSION AKI after liver transplantation may lead to a deterioration of patient status and increased mortality rates. We determined low preoperative SUA levels as a possible risk factor for early postoperative AKI.

Abstract
Objective Both hypouricemia and hyperuricemia are reportedly associated with reduced kidney function This study investigated the association between uric acid levels and the risk of reduced renal function in men and women. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from a government-funded health examinee cohort of a Korean genome and epidemiological study A total of 172,970 participants (58,981 men, 113,989 women) aged 40∼79 years were included A logistic regression test was performed, and the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to examine the relationship between stratified uric acid levels and the frequency of chronic kidney disease. Results As the uric acid level increased, the risk of reduced renal function increased Moreover, for uric acid levels ≤20 mg/dL, the risk of reduced renal function was higher than that of the reference group Among the total, man, and woman groups, a statistically significant association was observed in men (OR 171, 95% CI 0945∼3111, OR 5003, 95% CI 1405∼17809, and OR 1377, 95% CI 0696∼2724, respectively). Conclusion The OR of reduced renal function according to uric acid levels formed a J-shaped curve in both genders.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury after exercise is most commonly secondary to rhabdomyolysis. Non-rhabdomyolysis AKI is secondary to a limited number of disorders of which renal hypouricemia (RHUC) needs a special mention. It is relatively a rare genetic disorder and is reported in Japanese and Ashkenazi Jews. Humans have lost the ability to metabolize uric acid as the “uricase” gene is suppressed. Renal tubules handle uric acid and aid in maintaining serum concentrations in the soluble range. Uric acid excretion is increased in RHUC patients due to proximal tubular defects. This leads to the loss of antioxidant capabilities of the kidney, predisposing them to severe AKI following anaerobic exercise. We report a case of exercise-induced AKI secondary to renal hypouricemia.

Abstract
Abstract
Background/aims
Familial juvenile hereditary nephropathy (FJHN) is characterized by hyperuricemia due to severely impaired urinary excretion of urate. Hereditary renal hypouricemia is an inborn error of membrane transport. Because studies of inherited tubulopathy is rare, prevalence and diagnosis of these inherited tubulopathy increase with genetic testing.The aim of this study is to investigate prevalence of clinical features, biochemical profiles, and genetic analysis of patients with changes in serum uric acid levels in inherited tubulopathy.
Main body
The paper has written based on searching PubMed and Google Scholar to identify potentially relevant articles or abstracts. In this retrospective study, a total 65 patients with changes of serum uric acid levels and kidney dysfunction were investigated. Clinical features, laboratory data at initial presentation, management, and outcomes were collected. Forty studies (65 participants) included in this review. The mean ± SD of age of study patients in inherited tubulointerstitial kidney disease was 25.29 ± 14.69 years. Mean ± SD age of patients at time of diagnosis in inherited renal hypouricemia was 18.83 ± 10.59 years. Correlation between exon region in mutated UMOD, SLC22A12, and SLC2A9 genes and serum uric acid levels were assessed and revealed significant statistical correlation between exon region of SLC2A9 mutation and serum uric acid levels. Prevalence of progression to end-stage kidney disease in patients with inherited tubulointerstitial kidney disease and inherited renal hypouricemia were assessed 20% and 2.5%, respectively. There was nephrolithiasis in two patients (2/25, 8%) with inherited renal hypouricemia.
Conclusions
This study shows that UMOD and SLC22A12 gene mutations were responsible for majority of autosomal-dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease and inherited renal hypouricemia, respectively.

Abstract
Background Renal hypouricemia (RHUC) is a heterogeneous genetic disorder that is characterized by decreased serum uric acid concentration and increased fractional excretion of uric acid. Previous reports have revealed many functional mutations in two urate transporter genes, SLC22A12 and/or SLC2A9, to be the causative genetic factors of this disorder. However, there are still unresolved patients, suggesting the existence of other causal genes or new mutations. Here, we report an RHUC patient with novel compound heterozygous mutations in the SLC22A12 gene. Case presentation A 27-year-old female presenting with recurrent hypouricemia during routine checkups was referred to our hospital. After obtaining the patient’s consent, both the patient and her healthy parents were analyzed using whole-exome sequencing (WES) and Sanger sequencing to discover and validate causal mutations, respectively. The prioritization protocol of WES screened out two mutations of c.269G > A/p.R90H and c.1289_1290insGG/p.M430fsX466, which are both located in the SLC22A12 gene, in the patient. Sanger sequencing further confirmed that the patient’s heterozygous c.269G > A/p.R90H mutation, which has been reported previously, derived from her mother, and the heterozygous c.1289_1290insGG/p.M430fsX466 mutation, which was found for the first time, derived from her father. p.R90H, which is highly conserved among different species, may decrease the stability of this domain and was considered to be almost damaging in silicon analysis. p.M430fsX466 lacks the last three transmembrane domains, including the tripeptide motif (S/T)XΦ (X = any amino acid and Φ = hydrophobic residue), at the C-terminal, which interact with scaffolding protein PDZK1 and thus will possibly lead to weak functioning of urate transport through the disruption of the “transporter complex” that is formed by URAT1 and PDZK1. Conclusions We report a Chinese patient with RHUC, which was caused by compound heterozygous mutations of the SLC22A12 gene, using WES and Sanger sequencing for the first time. Mutation-induced structural instability or malfunction of the urate transporter complex may be the main mechanisms for this hereditary disorder.

Abstract
Gout is a common form of inflammatory arthritis caused by hyperuricemia and the deposition of Monosodium Urate (MSU) crystals. It is also considered as a complex disorder in which multiple genetic factors have been identified in association with its susceptibility and/or clinical outcomes. Major genes that were associated with gout include URAT1, GLUT9, OAT4, NPT1 (SLC17A1), NPT4 (SLC17A3), NPT5 (SLC17A4), MCT9, ABCG2, ABCC4, KCNQ1, PDZK1, NIPAL1, IL1β, IL-8, IL-12B, IL-23R, TNFA, MCP-1/CCL2, NLRP3, PPARGC1B, TLR4, CD14, CARD8, P2X7R, EGF, A1CF, HNF4G and TRIM46, LRP2, GKRP, ADRB3, ADH1B, ALDH2, COMT, MAOA, PRKG2, WDR1, ALPK1, CARMIL (LRRC16A), RFX3, BCAS3, CNIH-2, FAM35A and MYL2-CUX2. The proteins encoded by these genes mainly function in urate transport, inflammation, innate immunity and metabolism. Understanding the functions of gout-associated genes will provide important insights into future studies to explore the pathogenesis of gout, as well as to develop targeted therapies for gout.

Abstract
A 24-year-old male visited our hospital because of pain in both flanks. His biochemistry profile showed an elevated serum creatinine level and low serum uric acid level. History taking revealed that he had undertaken exercise prior to the acute kidney injury (AKI) event, and he stated that family members had a history of urolithiasis. His renal profile improved after hydration and supportive care during hospitalization. Although the patient was subsequently admitted again due to AKI, his status recovered with similar treatment. Since the diagnosis of the patient was familial renal hypouricemia with exercise-induced AKI, we performed genotyping of SLC22A12, which encodes human urate transporter 1. The diagnosis was confirmed by the detection of a homozygous mutation of W258X. We herein, report a case of familial renal hypouricemia confirmed by genotyping of SLC22A12, and review the relevant literature.

Abstract
Background Idiopathic renal hypouricemia (iRHUC) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disorder, characterized by impaired tubular uric acid transport, re-absorption insufficiency and/or the acceleration of secretions. Some patients present with severe complications, such as exercise-induced acute kidney injury (EIAKI) and nephrolithiasis. Case presentation Herein, we report the case of a girl with severe iRHUC (serum urate 0.05 mg/dL, fractional excretion of uric acid 295.99%) associated with recurrent EIAKI, in whom the disease was caused by a homozygous mutation (g.68G > A in exon 3) in the SLC2A9 gene. Her family members (father, mother and brother) carried the same mutation but were heterozygous, without any signs of severe hypouricemia. Conclusions Our findings indicate that iRHUC is a rare disorder but that it should also be considered in patients with EIAKI, especially in those patients who manifest with moderately elevated or normal serum concentrations of uric acid during the acute phase of AKI. Mutational screening of the SLC2A9 gene is necessary for the diagnosis of iRHUC, and homozygous mutations of the SLC2A9 alleles can cause severe hypouricemia. Careful attention should be paid to any signs of hypouricemia during the recovery phase of AKI and long-term follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute renal failure (ARF) with severe loin pain and patchy renal vasoconstriction (PRV) is a syndrome presenting with sudden loin pain after anaerobic exercise. We aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and the efficacy of diagnostic imaging studies of patients with this syndrome. METHODS We retrospectively selected 17 patients with ARF accompanied by loin or abdominal pain who showed multiple patchy wedge-shaped delayed contrast enhancements on a computerized tomography scan. Information about the clinical characteristics, including the nature of pain and combined symptoms, suspected causes, such as exercise, drug or alcohol intake, and renal hypouricemia, and the results of laboratory and imaging tests were gathered. RESULTS The mean age of patients with episodes of ARF accompanied by loin pain was 23.0±6.5 (range 16-35) years old. Pain was mainly located in the loin (70.6%) or abdominal area (76.5%) and continued for approximately 3.5±4.0 days. Exercise was suspected as a primary cause of disease in 12 (70.6%) patients. Maximal serum creatinine was 5.42±3.16 (1.4-12.1) mg/dL 3.1±1.8 (1-7) days after the onset of pain. The peak level of serum uric acid was 9.41±2.91 (6.0-15.8) mg/dL. All of the patients recovered to near-normal renal function, and one patient showed hypouricemia after recovery. CONCLUSION ARF with severe loin pain and PRV can present with loin or abdominal pain, even without a history of anaerobic exercise. Careful history taking and appropriate imaging studies are critical in the diagnosis and management of this syndrome.
