OBJECTIVE: Recent studies have reported that reduced excretion of urinary uromodulin is associated with renal tubular function and risks of progressive kidney disease. Gouty nephropathy is usually seen in patients with gout. Patients with chronic gouty nephropathy are characterized by the deposition of monosodium urate crystals primarily involving the collecting ducts in the medulla. We postulated that this correlation may be specific to gout and may serve as a useful biomarker for chronic kidney disease (CKD).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 114 Taiwanese patients diagnosed with gout (n = 72), CKD (n = 26), or healthy volunteers (n = 16) were prospectively enrolled for this study from the Rheumatology and Nephrology Outpatient Clinics of our institution. We obtained urine and blood samples on patient visits to the outpatient clinics. Demographic data were obtained from medical records.
RESULTS: In patients with gout, the spot urinary uromodulin/creatinine ratio (uUMCR; mg/g) in patients with CKD was significantly lower than that in those without CKD (CKD group: 2.2; non-CKD group: 5.6, p = 0.005). Multivariate analysis revealed that patients with CKD and gout had a lower uUMCR than those with gout alone (p = 0.028). A significant association was not observed in our non-gout cohort.
CONCLUSION: The association of decreased uUMCR with CKD status was identified only in patients with gout in the present study. We believe that uUMCR might serve as an indicator of differential CKD in patients with gout.
