4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Allopurinol is indicated for reducing urate/uric acid formation in
conditions where urate/uric acid
deposition has already occurred (e.g. gouty arthritis, skin tophi,
nephrolithiasis) or is a predictable
clinical risk (e.g. treatment of malignancy potentially leading to
acute uric acid nephropathy). The
main clinical conditions where urate/uric acid deposition may occur
are: idiopathic gout; uric acid
lithiasis; acute uric acid nephropathy; neoplastic disease and
myeloproliferative disease with high
cell turnover rates, in which high urate levels occur either
spontaneously, or after cytotoxic therapy;
certain enzyme disorders which lead to overproduction of urate, for
example: hypoxanthine-guanine
phosphoribosyltransferase,
including
Lesch-Nyhan
syndrome;
glucose-6-phosphatase
including
glycogen storage disease; phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase,
phosphoribosylpyrophosphate
amidotransferase; adenine phosphoribosyltransferase.
Allopurinol is indicated for the management of 2,8-dihydroxyadenine
(2,8-DHA) renal stones
related to deficient activity of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase.
Allopurinol is indicated for the management of recurrent mixed calcium
oxalate renal stones in the
presence of hyperuricosuria, when fluid, dietary and similar measures
have failed.
