Pregnancy in xanthinuria: demonstration of fetal uric acid production?
[]
This
paper
reports
biochemical
studies
in
a
pregnant
xanthinuric
female
(
McKusick
27830
)
and
compares
the
results
with
findings
in
three
other
xanthinurics
studied
by
us
,
including
a
previously
unreported
female
who
had
a
nephrectomy
for
xanthine
stones
.
The
findings
of
raised
levels
of
uric
acid
in
plasma
and
urine
at
presentation
in
the
third
trimester
of
pregnancy
,
and
the
subsequent
fall
to
almost
undetectable
levels
6
weeks
post-partum
,
is
regarded
as
evidence
of
the
extent
of
fetal
uric
acid
production
and
clearance
by
the
maternal
circulation
.
