Abstract
Hypouricemia is defined as a serum uric acid concentration of ≤ 2.0 mg/dL or 119 μmol/L. Hypouricemia may occur secondarily to a number of underlying conditions, including severe hepatocellular disease, neoplasia, defective renal tubular reabsorption of uric acid, inherited metabolic defect in purine metabolism, and drugs. Medications are an important cause of hypouricemia. They can cause hypouricemia by a variety of mechanisms. Drug-induced hypouricemia mostly occurs as overtreatment of hyperuricemia by urate-lowering therapies including xanthine oxidase inhibitors, uricosuric agents and uricases. Drugs not used in the treatment of gout may also lead to a decrease of uric acid levels. In this literature review, medications leading to hypouricemia are summarized with regard to their mechanism of action and clinical significance.
期刊介绍：
Drug Safety is the official journal of the International Society of Pharmacovigilance. The journal includes:
Overviews of contentious or emerging issues.
Comprehensive narrative reviews that provide an authoritative source of information on epidemiology, clinical features, prevention and management of adverse effects of individual drugs and drug classes.
In-depth benefit-risk assessment of adverse effect and efficacy data for a drug in a defined therapeutic area.
Systematic reviews (with or without meta-analyses) that collate empirical evidence to answer a specific research question, using explicit, systematic methods as outlined by the PRISMA statement.
Original research articles reporting the results of well-designed studies in disciplines such as pharmacoepidemiology, pharmacovigilance, pharmacology and toxicology, and pharmacogenomics.
Editorials and commentaries on topical issues.
Additional digital features (including animated abstracts, video abstracts, slide decks, audio slides, instructional videos, infographics, podcasts and animations) can be published with articles; these are designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. In addition, articles published in Drug Safety Drugs may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist readers who have some knowledge of, but not in-depth expertise in, the area to understand important medical advances.
