Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder which causes high urinary 2,8-dihydroxyadenine (2,8-DHA) excretion, resulting in urolithiasis and crystal nephropathy. It is caused by mutations in the APRT gene. Even though it is an inherited kidney stone disease, the varied clinical presentations, even within a family with the same underlying genetic variants, can lead to delayed diagnosis with some only being recognized in adulthood and even, following a kidney transplant. First presentations include symptoms of reddish-brown diaper stains, urinary tract infections, urolithiasis, acute kidney injury from obstructive uropathy and/or intratubular 2,8-DHA crystallization or kidney failure. Siblings of index cases should be screened for APRT deficiency. An early diagnosis and treatment with xanthine oxidoreductase inhibitors (XORi) can preserve kidney function and/or prevent progressive kidney injury and kidney failure. In this review, we will discuss the pathophysiology, clinical presentations, investigations, and management of APRT deficiency.
腺嘌呤磷酸核糖转移酶(APRT)缺乏症是一种罕见的常染色体隐性疾病,可导致尿中2,8-二羟基腺嘌呤(2,8-DHA)排泄增加,进而引起尿路结石和结晶性肾病。它是由APRT基因突变引起的。尽管这是一种遗传性肾结石疾病,但即使在具有相同潜在基因变异的家族中,其临床表现也各不相同,这可能导致诊断延迟,有些人直到成年甚至在肾移植后才被确诊。首发症状包括红褐色尿布污渍、尿路感染、尿路结石、梗阻性肾病和/或肾小管内2,8-DHA结晶导致的急性肾损伤或肾衰竭。索引病例的兄弟姐妹应接受APRT缺乏症筛查。早期诊断并使用黄嘌呤氧化还原酶抑制剂(XORi)进行治疗可保护肾功能和/或预防进行性肾损伤和肾衰竭。在本综述中,我们将讨论APRT缺乏症的病理生理学、临床表现、检查和治疗。
