Kidney stones, the most common clinical manifestation of APRT deficiency, can occur at any age; in at least 50% of affected persons symptoms do not occur until adulthood. If adequate treatment is not provided, approximately 20%-25% of affected individuals develop end-stage renal disease (ESRD), usually in adult life.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Diagnosis/testing.</h4><p>The diagnosis of APRT deficiency is established in a <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/proband/">proband</a> by absence of APRT enzyme activity in red cell lysates or identification of <a class="def" href="/books/n/gene/glossary/def-item/biallelic/">biallelic</a> pathogenic variants in <i>APRT</i>. The detection of the characteristic round, brown DHA crystals by urine microscopy is highly suggestive of the disorder.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Management.</h4><p><i>Treatment of manifestations:</i> Treatment with the xanthine oxidoreductase inhibitors (XOR; xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase) allopurinol or febuxostat can improve kidney function, even in individuals with advanced CKD. The prescribed dose of allopurinol and febuxostat should not routinely be reduced in affected individuals who have impaired kidney function. Ample fluid intake is advised. Surgical management of DHA nephrolithiasis is the same as for other types of kidney stones. ESRD is treated with dialysis and kidney transplantation.
