Description
Seolhyun Lee and co-authors track uric acid levels during round-the-clock kidney therapy in a paper from two thousand twenty-six. Uric acid runs high in dialysis patients because standard dialysis clears it slower than a healthy kidney. Continuous therapy clears small solutes faster on average, which raised a question.
The team measured blood levels in ten patients starting the therapy and seventeen kept on it for days to months. Uric acid fell from high to below the normal range within two to four days and stayed low during ongoing therapy. Removal rates held steady over time. The authors note the therapy, dosed by current guidelines, drives uric acid below normal, with unknown health effects.
