Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Observed change in oxypurinol plasma concentration over 24 hours[Plasma concentrations of oxypurinol observed at the following times after the patients usual morning dose of allopurinol; 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 24 hours post-dose. ];Dialysate oxypurinol cumulative amount excreted over the 24h study peroid. [Dialysate oxypurinol concentrations (and volume) will be measured at the time of each dialysate bag exchange at 4, 8, 12 and 24 (4 bags over 24 hours). ];Urine oxypurinol cumulative amount excreted over the 24h study peroid. [Urine will be collected continuously over the 24 hour study period (volume and oxypurinol concentrations are measured at 3hr, 6hr and 24 hr)]
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Dialysate urate cumulative amount excreted over the 24h study peroid. [Dialysate urate concentrations (and volume) will be measured at the time of each dialysate bag exchange at 4, 8, 12 and 24 (4 bags over 24 hours). ];Urine urate cumulative amount excreted over the 24h study peroid. [Urine will be collected continuously over the 24 hour study period (volume and urate concentrations are measured at 3hr, 6hr and 24 hr)];Observed change in urate plasma concentration over 24 hours[Plasma concentrations of urate observed at the following times after the patients usual morning dose of allopurinol; 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 24 hours post-dose. ]
