-==Overview==
+==[[Acute uric acid nephropathy overview|Overview]]==
-Acute uric acid nephropathy (AUAN) is a rapidly progressive reduction in kidney function ([[renal insufficiency]]) that is caused by high levels of [[uric acid]] in the urine<ref>{{cite journal | author=Conger JD | title=Acute uric acid nephropathy | journal=Med Clin North Am | year=1990 | pages=859-71 | volume=74 | issue=4 }} PMID 2195258</ref><ref>{{cite journal | author=Robinson RR, Yarger WE | title=Acute uric acid nephropathy | journal=Arch Intern Med | year=1977 | pages=839-40 | volume=137 | issue=7 }} PMID 879920</ref>.
+==[[Acute uric acid nephropathy historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
-==Pathophysiology==
+==[[Acute uric acid nephropathy classification|Classification]]==
-Acute uric acid nephropathy is caused by deposition of uric acid crystals within the kidney interstitium and tubules, leading to partial or complete obstruction of collecting ducts, renal pelvis, or ureter. This obstruction is usually bilateral, and patients follow the clinical course of [[acute renal failure]].
-==Causes==
+==[[Acute uric acid nephropathy pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
-Acute uric acid nephropathy is usually seen as part of the [[tumor lysis syndrome]] in patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy for the treatment of malignancies with rapid cell turnover, such as [[leukemia]] and [[lymphoma]]. It may also occur in these patients before treatment is begun, due to spontaneous tumor cell lysis.
-Acute uric acid nephropathy can also be caused by an acute attack of [[gout]].

+==[[Acute uric acid nephropathy natural history, complications and prognosis|Natural History, Complications and Prognosis]]==
 ==Diagnosis==
-The picture of acute renal failure is observed: decreased urine production and rapidly rising serum [[creatinine]] levels. Acute uric acid nephropathy is differentiated from other forms of acute renal failure by the finding of a urine uric acid/creatinine ratio > 1 in a random urine sample.

-Treatment is focused on preventing deposition of uric acid within the urinary system by increasing urine volume with potent diuretics such as [[furosemide]]. The urine must also be alkalinized to pH > 7 using sodium bicarbonate and/or [[acetazolamide]] to increase uric acid solubility.
+==Case Studies==
-Dialysis (preferably hemodialysis) is started if the above measures fail.
+[[Acute uric acid nephropathy case study one|Case #1]]
-==Prevention==
-Patients at risk for acute uric acid nephropathy should be treated with [[allopurinol]] prior to treatment with cytotoxic drugs.
