Abstract
A 60-year-old man had a uric acid stone in the kidney and laboratory findings of hypouricemia (1.1mg. per 100ml.) and increased uric acid clearance (43ml. per minute per 1.73m.2). Clearance of uric acid exceeded the, endogenous creatinine clearance after administration of pyrazinamide, an inhibitor of renal tubular secretion of uric acid. It was suggested that our patient had a complete defective mechanism for uric acid reabsorption, resulting in hyperuricuria and the formation of the uric acid stone.
