Abstract :
Heredity hypouricemia is caused by renal hypouricemia or xanthinuria. Xanthinuria is divided into type 1 with
deficiency of xanthine dehydrogenase and type 2 with xanthine dehydrogenase and aldehyde oxidase deficiency.
We report a case of xanthinuria type 1 that developed with kidney failure. Hemodialysis was done for
him, but kidney function was not improved, so a kidney transplant was performed for him. His serum uric acid
was 0.1 mg/dl before and after transplantation.
