Overview
2,8 dihydroxy-adenine urolithiasis is a genetic disorder, in which deficiency of the enzyme adenine phosphoribosyltransferase leads to nephrolithiasis, permanent kidney damage and eventually chronic renal failure.
Pathophysiology
Genetics
- It is an autosomal recessive disorder associated with a mutation in the enzyme adenine phosphoribosyltransferase.
- It catalyzes the formation of AMP from adenine and phosphoribosylpyrophosphate. It can act as a salvage enzyme for recycling of adenine into nucleic acids.
- Deficiency of this enzyme leads to excess formation and hyperexcretion of 2,8 dihydroxy adenine (DHA) into urine.
- Low solubility of DHA results in precipitation of this compound and form crystals and stones.
Epidemiology and Demographics
- More than 300 individuals with this disorder have been reported so far, out of which two thirds were from Japan, and a substantial number from France and Iceland.
- The estimated prevalence of APRT deficiency is 0.5 to 1 per 100,000 in the Caucasian population, 0.25 to 0.5 per 100,000 in the Japanese population and in Iceland the estimated point prevalence is 8.9/100,000 [1] [2]
Natural History, Complications and Prognosis
Complications
Diagnosis
Symptoms
- Associated with renal stones:
- Colicky pain
- Hematuria
- Dysuria
- Oliguria
- Reddish brown diaper spots in younger children
- Associated with chronic renal failure:
- Occasionally, patients may also complain of eye discomfort.
Physical examination
Appearance
- Patient may appear to be in distress from colicky flank pain and/or uremia
Vital signs
In advanced cases with signs of chronic renal failure,
- Blood pressure may be elevated.
- Patient may be tachypneic from metabolic acidosis associated with uremia.
Eyes
- Conjunctiva may appear hyperemic from eye discomfort.
Heart
- Patients with renal compromise may have a ventricular heave.
- Auscultation
- S4 may be heard
- Pericardial friction rub in those with chronic uremia.
Lungs
- Auscultation
- Crackles
- Decreased breath sounds from pulmonary edema in those who develop chronic renal failure.
Laboratory findings
Early recognition and treatment of APRT deficiency is crucial in preventing irreversible damage to the kidneys.
Urine tests
- Stone analysis: 2,8 DHA crystals are readily detectable in the urine.
- Crystalluria: The small and medium sized crystals have a central maltese cross pattern on polarized light microscopy whereas the large crystals do not as they are impermeable to light .
Blood tests
- APRT activity in hemolysates of erythrocytes.
X ray
- 2,8 Dihydro adenine stones are radiolucent, hence not detected on X-ray films.
CT/ Ultrasonography
- Renal stones are easily detectable on CT scans and ultrasonography.
Infrared and Ultraviolet Spectrophotometry and/or X-ray Crystallography
- Easily differentiates 2,8 DHA stones from uric acid stones.
Genetic testing
- Identifying mutations in both copies of the APRT gene.
Treatment
Pharmacotherapy
- Allopurinol: 5-10 mg/kg/day (maximum dose of 600-800 mg/day). Side effects include skin rash and gastrointestinal intolerance, hypersensitivity.
- Patients who do not tolerate allopurinol, febuxostat (a xanthine oxidase inhibitor) or oxypurinol (a xanthine dehydrogenase inhibitor) should be considered.
Patient Education
- Plenty of fluids
- Dietary purine restriction.
Follow up
- Patients treated with allopurinol can be followed up by monitoring urine microscopy.
Surgery and Device based therapy
- Approximately 30% of patients require intervention for stone removal
- Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy,
- Lithotomy and
- Endourological procedures
