RESUMEN
A T217M heterozygous mutation in the SLC22A12 gene caused renal hypouricemia; this patient with IgA nephropathy had no findings other than IgA nephropathy on renal biopsy. Hypouricemia was susceptible to oxidative stress, but IgA nephropathy in the patient with hypouricemia could be treated with steroid pulse therapy without adverse events.

RESUMEN
Introduction: To investigate changes in insulin requirements over time in patients who underwent hepatectomy and pancreatectomy with perioperative glycemic control by an artificial pancreas (STG-55). Materials and methods: We included 56 patients (22 hepatectomies and 34 pancreatectomies) who were treated with an artificial pancreas in the perioperative period and investigated the differences in insulin requirements by organ and surgical procedure. Results: The mean intraoperative blood glucose level and total insulin doses were higher in the hepatectomy group than in the pancreatectomy group. The dose of insulin infusion increased in hepatectomy, especially early in surgery, compared to pancreatectomy. In the hepatectomy group, there was a significant correlation between the total intraoperative insulin dose and Pringle time, and in all cases, there was a correlation with surgical time, bleeding volume, preoperative CPR, preoperative TDD, and weight. Conclusions: Perioperative insulin requirements may be mainly dependent on the surgical procedure, invasiveness, and organ. Preoperative prediction of insulin requirements for each surgical procedure contributes to good perioperative glycemic control and improvement of postoperative outcomes.
