A patient with acute oliguric uric acid nephropathy was treated with
hemodialysis. Recovery in this disorder is based on treatment of both the
uremic state and the intrarenal crystal obstruction. Hemodialysis with high
uric acid clearance is much more efficient than other forms of therapy in
this disorder.
