Abstract Background Dotinurad is a selective urate reabsorption inhibitor (SURI), which selectively inhibits URAT1 to lower serum uric acid levels in patients with hyperuricemia. Herein, the effects of dotinurad were compared among patient groups with different stages of renal dysfunction. Methods Patient data from four clinical trials were pooled and divided into four groups according to the stage of renal dysfunction to compare the effects of dotinurad at different stages. The grouping (stages G1–G3b) was based on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of the patients. In addition, patient data from a long-term study (34 or 58 weeks) were evaluated in the same manner. Results In the pooled analysis, the percentage of patients achieving a serum uric acid level of ≤ 6.0 mg/dL was 64.7–100.0% at a dose of 2 or 4 mg. In the long-term analysis, the percentage of patients achieving a serum uric acid level of ≤ 6.0 mg/dL was 60.0–100.0% at a dose of 2 or 4 mg. Although the outcomes in stage G3b were worse due to higher baseline serum uric acid levels, satisfactory outcomes were observed in all stages. Even in stages G3a and G3b, when renal function declined, the eGFR remained constant throughout the dose period. Conclusion The efficacy of dotinurad was confirmed in hyperuricemic patients with normal renal function (stage G1) and mild to moderate renal dysfunction (stage G2–G3b). Dotinurad was found to be effective in the treatment of hyperuricemia in patients with mild to moderate renal dysfunction.

Background: To Study Serum Uric Acid level elevation in Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy. Methods: 50 Patients diagnosed as having Pre-eclampsia with age between 18-37 years and 50 controls with similar age group. Results: The mean serum uric acid level in control group was 3.41 ± 0.62 and in patient 7.01 ± 0.58 which was statistically significant (p =0.001). Conclusion: Serum uric acid levels were significantly higher in preeclampsia could be a useful indicator of fetal complication in preeclampsia patients. Keywords: serum uric acid, preeclampsia, laboratory.
