Abstract
Four components are said to be involved in the uric acid transport system of the human kidney, but the definite mechanism of uric acid transport has not yet been clarified. We conducted both the benzbromarone (BZB) loading test and the combined pyrazinamide (PZA) and BZB test 1) to quantify the contribution of the four components involved in the renal handling of uric acid, 2) to determine whether BZB selectively inhibits postsecretory reabsorption of uric acid.
