A Jewish Iraqi woman with familial isolated renal tubular uricosuria, urate clearance of 60.5 +/- 5.7 ml/min and hypouricemia of 1.0 +/- 0.2 mg/dl is described. The combined pyrazinamide-probenecid test suggested a presecretory defect in urate reabsorption. Four offspring were moderately affected. This family represents the sixth Jewish Iraqi family with familial isolated presecretory uricosuria, and emphasizes the marked prevalence of this disease among the Iraqi Jewish population. Since the inheritance of the presecretory defect is autosomal recessive, we suggest that this family is an example of pseudodominant transmission. The combined pyrazinamide-probenecid test may cause a reduction in glomerular filtration rate and filtered load of urate and thereby affect urinary excretion rate of urate in patients with urate wasting.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011339 Probenecid The prototypical uricosuric agent. It inhibits the renal excretion of organic anions and reduces tubular reabsorption of urate. Probenecid has also been used to treat patients with renal impairment, and, because it reduces the renal tubular excretion of other drugs, has been used as an adjunct to antibacterial therapy. Benecid,Benemid,Benuryl,Pro-Cid,Probecid,Probenecid Weimer

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
