Quantitative Estimation of Urate Transport in Nephrons in Relation to Urinary Excretion Employing Benzbromarone-Loading Urate Clearance Tests in Cases of Hyperuricemia
Background: A four-component system for urate transport in nephrons has been proposed and widely investigated by various investigators studying the mechanisms underlying urinary urate excretion. However, quantitative determinations of urate transport have not been clearly elucidated yet. Methods: Th...
