Hypothetical Mechanism of Exercise-Induced Acute Kidney Injury Associated with Renal Hypouricemia
2021
Makoto Hosoyamada
Renal hypouricemia (RHUC) is a hereditary disease that presents with increased renal urate clearance and hypouricemia due to genetic mutations in the urate transporter URAT1 or GLUT9 that reabsorbs urates in the renal proximal tubule. Exercise-induced acute kidney injury (EIAKI) is known to be a complication of renal hypouricemia. In the skeletal muscle of RHUC patients during exhaustive exercise, the decreased release of endothelial-derived hyperpolarization factor (EDHF) due to hypouricemia might cause the disturbance of exercise hyperemia, which might increase post-exercise urinary urate excretion. In the kidneys of RHUC patients after exhaustive exercise, an intraluminal high concentration of urates in the proximal straight tubule and/or thick ascending limb of Henle’s loop might stimulate the luminal Toll-like receptor 4–myeloid differentiation factor 88–phosphoinositide 3-kinase–mammalian target of rapamycin (luminal TLR4–MyD88–PI3K–mTOR) pathway to activate the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome and may release interleukin-1β (IL-1β), which might cause the symptoms of EIAKI.
