4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Zyloric 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;
Zyloric is indicated for the management of 2,8-dihydroxyadenine
(2,8-DHA) renal stones related to deficient activity of adenine
phosphoribosyltranferase.
Zyloric 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.
