Intervention(s) planned

The study will be carried out at the Girandurukotte renal clinic, Sri Lanka. Participants meting inclusion/exclusion criteria will be allocated into the study arms using simple randomization.

The intervention arm will receive Allopurinol 100-600mg, tablet dosage form, oral route, daily dose for a total of 60 months. (Allopurinol starting dose of 100mg daily will be titrated to a maximum dose of 600mg daily until the study targets are achieved.)

Standard management of CKDu will be provided according to the Ministry of Health Guidelines.

The control arm will receive standard management alone (Ministry of Health Guidelines)


Inclusion criteria

  1. Males and females, aged 21 to 65 years
  2. eGFR equal or less than 60ml/min/1.73m2 and more than 15 ml/min/1.73m2
  3. Probable and confirmed CKDu according to Ministry of Health, Sri Lanka, guidelines
  4. Not on renal replacement therapy
  5. Not on urate lowering therapy other than Allopurinol
  6. Laboratory results of serum uric acid within the study cut off (>6mg/dl for males , >5 mg/dl for females)

Exclusion criteria

  1. Consumption of more than 14 drinks of alcohol per week (eg, 1 drink = 5 oz [150 mL] of wine, 12 oz [30 mL] of beer, or 1.5 oz [45 mL] of hard liquor)
  2. History or suspicion of drug abuse.
  3. History of autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment.
  4. Known or suspected human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C antibody (HCV), or hepatitis B antibody (HBsAg) infection.
  5. History of malignancy within the previous 5 years (with the exception of nonmelanoma/skin cancer that has been treated with no evidence of recurrence, treated cervical dysplasia or treated in situ Grade 1 cervical cancer).
  6. Myocardial infarction, unstable angina, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV heart failure, or stroke within the last 12 months.
  7. Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic pressure above 160 mm Hg or diastolic pressure above 95 mm Hg)
  8. Active peptic ulcer disease requiring treatment.
  9. History of xanthinuria, active liver disease, or hepatic dysfunction.
  10. If unable to take gout flare prophylaxis of either colchicine or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) due to contraindication (e.g. toxicity, renal function, use of contraindicated medications).
  11. Known hypersensitivity or allergy to allopurinol
