Drug-Induced Hyperuricemia
Increase Uric Acid Production: nicotinic acid, warfarin, & chemotherapy

Decrease Renal Clearance of Uric Acid: diuretics, low dose aspirin (<2g), & cyclosporine
Underexcreter
< 600 mg/day
Overproducer
> 1,000 mg/day
Cautions for NSAIDs (5)
PUD

anticoagulants

elderly

renal impairment

CHF
MOA: NSAIDs
decrease inflammatory response, thereby decreasing neutrophil phagocytosis
MOA: Colchicine (2)
inhibits mitosis of neutrophils thereby decreasing migration of neutrophils to site of urate crystals

inhibits neutrophil phagocytosis of urate crystals thereby decreasing production of glycoprotein (less inflammation)
AE: Colchicine (4)
GI (dose-dependent) – dose-limiting diarrhea

bone marrow

neurologic & muscular: neuralgia & myalgia

renal dysfunction
CI: Colchicine
↓ 50% dose in patients with CrCl < 50 mg/ml
MOA: Allopurinol
analog of hypoxanthine which competitively inhibits XO & prevents uric acid production
Dose: Allopurinol (2)
Dose reduce...

↓ 50% if CrCl < 50 mg/ml
mercaptopurine & azathioprine
AE: Allopurinol (5)
rash
diarrhea
leukopenia
eosinophilia & rash (dose-dependent HSV)
renal & hepatic dysfunction
MOA: Febuxostat
xanthine oxidase inhibitor which acts by decreasing serum uric acid
Dose: Febuxostat (3)
double dose if serum UA > 6mg/dL after two weeks

due to gouty flare, prophylaxis with NSAID or colchicine recommended when first starting (up to 6 months)

dose reduce for azathioprine, mercaptopurine, & theophylline
AE: Febuxostat (3)
↑ LFTs

acute gout

MI
MOA: Uriocurics (probenecid, sulfinpyrazone, & colchicine)
↑ renal clearance of uric acid by inhibiting renal tubular reabsorption of uric acid
Dose: Probenecid (2)
drink at least 2L of fluid/day to prevent stones

not effective CrCl < 30 ml/min
AE: Probenecid (5)
precipitation of acute gouty arthritis

nephrolithiasis

GI upset

rash

HSV
DI: Probenecid (5)
↑ carbapenem
↑ cephalosporin
↑ penicillin
salicylates: uricosuric activity & may antagonize
↑ methotrexate
CI: Probenecid (4)
CrCl < 30 ml/min – no benefit
high dose aspirin Tx
blood dyscrasias
uric acid kidney stones
Dose: Sulfinpyrazone
Increase fluid uptake
AE: Sulfinpyrazone (5)
acute gout
nephrolithiasis
nausea
PUD
blood dyscrasias
DI: Sulfinpyrazone
salicylates (antagonizing effect)
CI: Sulfinpyrazone (2)
CrCl < 50 ml/min

sulfa-allergy
