Renal hypouricemia complicated with kidney stone: a case report.

ABSTRACT: Renal hypouricemia (RHUC) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by impaired renal tubular uric acid reabsorption and abnormally high uric acid clearance, which may be manifested by reduced serum uric acid (SUA) levels and elevated fractional excretion of uric acid (FE-UA >10%). Most RHUC patients are often asymptomatic or have accidentally decreased SUA levels during health examinations, while others develop kidney stones and exercise-induced acute kidney injury (EIAKI). We now report a case of RHUC complicated with an asymptomatic kidney stone, and we identified a heterozygous mutation of c.269G > A (p.R90H) and a novel heterozygous mutation of c.674C > G (p.T225R) in the SLC22A12 gene in the patient through whole exon gene detection (NGS method). This case offers va
