摘要
Abstract Dotinurad has been approved in Japan as a selective urate reabsorption inhibitor for the treatment of gout and hyperuricemia. The relationship between uric acid crystallization and the use of uricosuric drugs is widely acknowledged; however, the relationship between changes in urinary uric acid concentration and urine pH or volume has not been sufficiently analyzed. Therefore, we investigated the changes in urinary uric acid concentration following dotinurad administration as well as the relationship between urine pH or volume and urinary uric acid concentration. This post hoc analysis used data from 2 clinical trials that included 12 and 26 patients with hyperuricemia who received dotinurad treatment (for 7 days on an inpatient basis and 14 weeks on an outpatient basis, respectively). The urinary uric acid concentration transiently increased in the early stages of dotinurad use and when its dose was increased, but decreased over time. No uric acid concentrations exceeded the soluble limit at any urine pH. An inverse correlation was observed between urine volume and urinary uric acid concentration. This study highlights the significance of adequately managing urinary uric acid concentrations by increasing urine volume and alkalinizing urine to prevent uric acid crystallization during dotinurad administration.
