The renal fractional excretion of uric acid was determined for both a habitual diet and an NaCl-restricted diet in two groups of untreated subjects with low (117-207 mumol per litre of cells per h) and high (373-598 mumol per litre of cells per h) erythrocyte Na-Li countertransport identified in a population-based survey of middle-aged male workers. The group with high Na-Li countertransport had a higher mean blood pressure (P less than 0.05); this group also had a significantly reduced fractional excretion of uric acid with the NaCl-restricted diet even after adjustment for the difference in blood pressure (P less than 0.03). These findings are compatible with an abnormality in kidney tubular function and possibly in the renal handling of sodium in subjects with elevated erythrocyte Na-Li countertransport.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007684 Kidney Tubules Long convoluted tubules in the nephrons. They collect filtrate from blood passing through the KIDNEY GLOMERULUS and process this filtrate into URINE. Each renal tubule consists of a BOWMAN CAPSULE; PROXIMAL KIDNEY TUBULE; LOOP OF HENLE; DISTAL KIDNEY TUBULE; and KIDNEY COLLECTING DUCT leading to the central cavity of the kidney (KIDNEY PELVIS) that connects to the URETER.

D014527 Uric Acid An oxidation product, via XANTHINE OXIDASE, of oxypurines such as XANTHINE and HYPOXANTHINE. It is the final oxidation product of purine catabolism in humans and primates, whereas in most other mammals URATE OXIDASE further oxidizes it to ALLANTOIN. 2,6,8-Trihydroxypurine,Ammonium Acid Urate,Monosodium Urate,Monosodium Urate Monohydrate,Potassium Urate,Sodium Acid Urate,Sodium Acid Urate Monohydrate,Sodium Urate,Sodium Urate Monohydrate,Trioxopurine,Urate,Acid Urate, Ammonium,Acid Urate, Sodium,Acid, Uric,Monohydrate, Monosodium Urate,Monohydrate, Sodium Urate,Urate Monohydrate, Monosodium,Urate Monohydrate, Sodium,Urate, Ammonium Acid,Urate, Monosodium,Urate, Potassium,Urate, Sodium,Urate, Sodium Acid
