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:
o
Idiopathic gout;
o
Uric acid lithiasis;
o
Acute uric acid nephropathy;
o
Neoplastic disease and myeloproliferative disease with high cell turnover rates, in which high urate levels occur
either spontaneously, or after cytotoxic therapy;
o
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
hyperuricoosuria, when fluid, dietary and similar measures have failed.
