Abstract
Renal hypouricemia (RHUC) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the SLC22A12 gene, which encodes the major uric acid (UA) transporter, URAT1. The clinical course of related, living donor-derived RHUC in patients undergoing kidney transplantation is poorly understood. Here, we report a case of kidney transplantation from a living relative who had an SLC22A12 mutation. After the transplantation, the recipient's fractional excretion of UA (FEUA) decreased, and chimeric tubular epithelium was observed. A 40-year-old man underwent kidney transplantation. His sister was the kidney donor. Three weeks after the transplantation, he had low serum-UA, 148.7 μmol/L, and elevated FEUA, 20.8% (normal: < 10%). The patient's sister had low serum-UA (101.1 μmol/L) and high FEUA (15.8%) before transplant. Suspecting RHUC, we performed next-generation sequencing on a gene panel containing RHUC-associated genes. A heterozygous missense mutation in the SLC22A12 gene was detected in the donor, but not in the recipient. The recipient's serum-UA level increased from 148.7 μmol/L to 231.9 μmol/L 3 months after transplantation and was 226.0 μmol/L 1 year after transplantation. His FEUA decreased from 20.8 to 11.7% 3 months after transplantation a...Continue Reading
