Both nephrologists [Vasilyeva M.P. et al., 2015; Mukhin N.A. et al., 2015], and cardiologists [Кuo-ChengLue.a.,2014 ] recognized the fact that most of the currently known risk factors for cardiovascular disease (hypertension, obesity, diabetes mellitus, dyslipoproteinemia, microalbuminuria, etc.) are also risk factors for chronic kidney disease (ChKD). An inverse relationship, i.e. the influence of renal pathology on the frequency of cardiovascular disease detection has been established [Galushkin A.A. et al., 2013]. This fact is especially relevant in disorders of uric acid (UA) metabolism, as the recent literature data indicate a significant role of UA in the development of cardiovascular diseases. However, these issues are intensively studied in therapeutic practice, but they are certainly relevant for pediatric practice [M.S.Ignatova, 2011; VyalkovaA.A.,2012].

Abstract Cholestasis is one of the most severe manifestations of liver injury and has limited therapeutic options. Allopurinol (AP), an inhibitor of uric acid (UA) synthesis, was reported to prevent liver damage in several liver diseases. However, whether AP protects against intrahepatic cholestatic liver injury and what is the role of UA in the pathogenesis of cholestasis remain unknown. In this study, we reported that AP attenuated liver injury in a mouse model of intrahepatic cholestasis induced by alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT). AP showed no significant effect on glutathione depletion, inflammation, or bile acid metabolism in livers of ANIT-treated mice. Instead, AP significantly improved fatty acid β-oxidation in livers of ANIT-treated mice, which was associated with activation of PPARα. The protective effect of AP on cholestatic liver injury was not attributable to the depletion of UA, because both exogenous and endogenous UA prevented liver injury in ANIT-treated mice via inhibition of NF-kB-mediated inflammation. In conclusion, the present study provides a new perspective for the therapeutic use of AP and the role of UA in cholestatic liver injury.

Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism in humans. High uric acid levels form sodium urate crystals that trigger biological processes, which lead to the development of several diseases, including diabetes, hyperuricemia, gout, inflammatory disease, kidney disease, cardiovascular disease and hypertension. Catechins have been suggested to be beneficial for the regulation of uric acid metabolic disorders due to their powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. To identify an effective and safe natural substance that can decrease levels of serum uric acid to improve uric acid metabolism disorders. A search was performed on PubMed, Web of Science and Google Scholar to identify comprehensive studies that presented summarized data on the use of catechins in lowering uric acid levels in diseases. This review details the role of catechins in inhibiting the activity of xanthine oxidase to decrease uric acid overproduction in the liver and in regulating expressions of uric acid transporters, URAT1, OAT1, OAT3, ABCG2 and GLUT9, to balance levels of uric acid secretion and reabsorption through the kidney and intestine. Additionally, Catechins were also found to prevent monosodium urate-induced inflammatory reactions. In vivo, catechins can be used to decrease high uric acid levels that result from hyperuricemia and related diseases. Catechins can be used to maintain the balance of uric acid metabolism.
