1 Despite the controversy over the inflammatory role of uric acid in its soluble form, crystals of uric acid are able to activate the NLRP3 inflammasome in different tissues. Uric Acid NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens
2 Despite the controversy over the inflammatory role of uric acid in its soluble form, crystals of uric acid are able to activate the NLRP3 inflammasome in different tissues. Uric Acid NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens
3 Despite these conflicting views, several studies support the idea that hyperuricemia is indeed a cause of progression of kidney disease, with a putative role for soluble uric acid in activating renal NLRP3 inflammasome, in reprograming renal and immune cell metabolism and, therefore, in promoting kidney inflammation/injury. Uric Acid NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens
4 SUMMARY: Therapies aiming to decrease uric acid levels prevent renal NLRP3 inflammasome activation and exert renoprotective effects in experimental kidney diseases. Uric Acid NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens
