Popis: Familial renal hypouricemia is a hereditary disease characterized by extraordinary high renal uric acid (UA) clearance and is associated with acute renal failure (ARF). A 17-year-old Japanese male developed ARF after anerobic exercise. Renal function improved completely after approximately 2 weeks of hydration treatment. After remission, hypouricemia became evident (1.0 mg/dL) from the initial level of UA (4.8 mg/dL) and fractional excretion of uric acid (FEUA) was >50%. His parents showed normal levels of UA and FEUA. Polymerase chain reaction of a urate anion exchanger known to regulate UA level [SLC22A12 gene: UA transporter 1 (URAT1)] demonstrated compound heterozygous mutations (Q297X and R90H). Thus, we describe a Japanese male with hypouricemia complicated by anerobic exercise-induced ARF, with definite demonstration of a genetic abnormality in the responsible gene, URAT1.
