    Serum uric acid (SUA) concentrations are higher in APDKD patients than controls. (Mejias et al. Hyperuricemia, gout, and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Am J Med Sci 1989; 297: 145–148)

    Higher SUA is associated with increased kidney volumes, increased End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), and ADPKD disease progression. (Helal, 2013)

    Increased SUA is strongly associated with endothelial dysfunction (ED) via decreased nitric oxide bioavailability. (Khosla, 2005, Zoccali 2006, Kurowska 2002, Portaluppi2004)

    Proposed Clinical Trial

    Chan et al, AKI in Hospitalized Patients with COVID-19, JASN, Sept 2020

    “Unpublished” - Preliminary study results @ Mount Sinai, NY:

    Hospitalized individuals with AKI – 63% had very high uric acid levels.

    N>1100 individuals, where greater than 60% of individuals with acute kidney injury had elevated uric acid levels above the normal range

    Expected Healthy hyperuricemia rate? - ~20% > 6 mg/dL

    Preliminary Data:“MAKE” – Major Adverse Kidney Events

    Hospitalized individuals in New York

    Uric acid normal range:3-6 mg/dL

    Hyperuricemia is associated with MAKE (dialysis or death).

    Hyperuricemia occurs early in COVID-19 infection.

    AKI occurs early in COVID-19 infection.

    Hyperuricemia increases the risk for AKI and so death.

    The World Health Organization investigative team that visited China in February, led by Canadian expert Dr. Bruce Aylward, reported last week that it places the R0 of COVID-19 at between 2 and 2.5 – a number it considers “relatively high.”*

    • The R0 for COVID-19 is a median of 5.7, according to a study published online in Emerging Infectious Diseases. That’s about double an earlier R0 estimate of 2.2 to 2.7

    • The median R value for seasonal influenza was 1.28 (IQR: 1.19–1.37).

    • While the impact of flu varies, it places a substantial burden on the health of people in the United States each year. CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 –810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010.

    Conclusion: Compared to Influenza (140,000 – 810,000 hospitalization/year R0=1.4 to 2.8) it is projected that COVID19 will have a 2X rate of hospitalizations with 280,000 – 1,020,600 hospitalizations/year in the future.

  • Effect of Xanthine Oxidase Inhibition in Influenza in Mice

    Purpose: Evaluate biochemical parameters of influenza virus lung infection

    Model: sBALF – influenza virus infected mice

    Biochemical Characteristics:

    After infection, mice showed 170x increase in adensinedeaminase (ADA) and 400 fold increase in Xanthine Oxidase (XO) activity per volume of alveolar lavage fluid

    Results: • XO activity peaked at day six of infection. • ADA metabolites were increased: inosine, hypoxanthine,

    xanthine and uric acid in serum. • Uric acid treatment improved survival rate of influenza virus

    infected mice.

    Conclusion: Increased nucleotide turnover in influenza virus and oxygen radical generation is a pathogenic principle in influenza virus infection.
