In the present study it has been found that hyperuricosuric calcium oxalate (CaOx) stone formers do not differ from idiopathic CaOx stone formers in their urines' potential to retard in vitro precipitation of CaOx. On the other hand, urines of hyperuricosuric patients with no history of CaOx stone formation have the same potential to inhibit CaOx precipitation as those of normal controls. Reduction of urinary uric acid concentrations by either incubation of specimens with sodium urate or by treatment of hyperuricosuric patients with allopurinol had no effect on the urines' potential to retard CaOx precipitation.

Introduction: Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome (MS) are associated with low urinary pH and represent risk factors for nephrolithiasis, especially composed by uric acid. Acidogenic diets may also contribute to a reduction of urinary pH. Propensity for calcium oxalate precipitation has been shown to be higher with increasing features of the MS.

Hyperuricosuria is common among stone formers, but its significance is uncertain. To progress our understanding and target treatment, we need to identify and characterise patients with uniform underlying pathology. We aimed to identify hyperuricosuric patients with a primary defect in renal urate reabsorption (renal hyperuricosuria) and to look for associated risk factors for stones.

Primary renal hypouricemia is a genetic disorder characterized by defective renal uric acid (UA) reabsorption with complications such as nephrolithiasis and exercise-induced acute renal failure. The known causes are: defects in the SLC22A12 gene, encoding the human urate transporter 1 (hURAT1), and also impairment of voltage urate transporter (URATv1), encoded by SLC2A9 (GLUT9) gene. Diagnosis is based on hypouricemia (<119 μmol/L) and increased fractional excretion of UA (>10%).
