The transport of urate in the mammalian nephron is largely confined to the proximal tubule. Depending on the species, net reabsorption or net secretion is observed. The rat, like the human and the mongrel dog, demonstrates net reabsorption of urate and has been the most extensively studied species. The unidirectional reabsorption and secretion of urate in the rat proximal tubule occur via a passive and presumably paracellular route and by a mediated transcellular route. The reabsorption of urate, and possibly its secretion, can occur against an electrochemical gradient. A variety of drugs and other compounds affect the reabsorption and secretion of urate. The effects of these agents depend on their site of application (luminal or blood), concentration, and occasionally their participation in transport processes that do not have affinity for urate. Recent studies with renal brush border and basolateral membrane vesicles from the rat and brush border vesicles from the dog have determined the mechanisms for urate transport across the luminal and antiluminal membranes of the proximal tubule cell. Brush border membrane vesicles contain an anion exchanger with affinity for urate, hydroxyl ion, bicarbonate, chloride, lactate, p-aminohippurate (PAH), and a variety of other organic anions. Basolateral membrane vesicles contain an anion exchanger with affinity for urate and chloride but not for PAH. Both membrane vesicle preparations also permit urate translocation by simple diffusion. A model for the transcellular reabsorption and secretion of urate in the rat proximal tubule is proposed. This model is based on the vesicle studies, and it can potentially explain the majority of urate transport data obtained with in vivo techniques.

Localization of urate transport within the nephrons of mongrel and Dalmatian dogs was studied by stop-flow analysis. In mongrel dogs urate concentrations and clearance ratios were lowest in the segment in which PAH was secreted. Urate clearance ratios of 0.7 in free-flow samples were reduced to about 0.3 in stop-flow samples from the proximal segment. In the distal segment urate clearance ratios did not differ significantly from ratios obtained in free-flow. Probenecid, in doses sufficient to block PAH secretion, inhibited urate reabsorption thereby increasing urate clearance. In contrast to these findings with mongrel dogs, the Dalmatians exhibited weak but definite urate secretion within the proximal segment. The action of probenecid in this strain of dogs was to stop all proximal secretory activity for urate thereby reducing urate clearance. It was suggested that mongrel and Dalmatian dogs transport urate by systems that are identical except for direction of urate movement.
