Although our knowledge of renal urate handling has been increased by the molecular
identification of urate transport proteins and by results of genetic studies on patients with
serum urate disorders, current evidence is insufficient to fully understand the precise
mechanism governing the bi-directional transport of urate. Further studies are still
necessary.
