OBJECTIVE
To describe protease inhibitor-induced urinary stone disease in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) who are taking indinavir sulfate (Crixivan), a protease inhibitor, for the treatment of AIDS.
METHODS
Patients with HIV/AIDS and
OBJECTIVE
Indinavir sulfate is an effective protease inhibitor of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1. Use is associated with a significant incidence of crystallization and stone formation in the urinary tract, and these calculi are not visible on plain radiographs. Previously all urinary
OBJECTIVE
The effects of two antiretroviral triple combinations including the protease inhibitor indinavir on the surrogate markers, viral load and CD4 cells were evaluated.
METHODS
Fifteen patients with high viral load or disease progression under their prior antiretroviral therapy were switched to
BACKGROUND
Protease inhibitors, mainly Indinavir, are widely used drugs for the treatment of patients infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and are related to renal colic and urinary obstruction. These conditions are the result of urine excretion of these drugs which favours the
OBJECTIVE
Anti-proteases, a new class of anti-HIV drugs used in combination with reverse transcriptase inhibitors have led to spectacular improvement in the patients' clinical status. Since April 1996, indinavir is the most widely prescribed anti-protease in France.
METHODS
From July 1996 to July
An elderly woman with a history of cholecystectomy and a re-operation for postoperative peritonitis underwent extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for right and left renal pelvic calculi, 11 x 6 and 12 x 5 mm in size, to which 2400 and 1400 shots at 20 kV were given, respectively, on the
A number of drugs prescribed for the treatment of various diseases can induce urological symptoms as side effects. Antihypertensive drugs (particularly alpha blockers) can result in stress incontinence, whereas selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) can cause urge incontinence and estrogen
OBJECTIVE
Indinavir is a protease inhibitor used in the treatment of HIV with a lithogenic capacity as a urological side effect. The pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of indinavir urolithiasis are briefly reviewed.
METHODS
A 37-year-old male, seropositive for HIV on treatment with indinavir,
A 64-year-old man with HIV on antiretroviral therapy (including atazanavir, a protease inhibitor) presented with left flank pain, nausea and vomiting. A kidney stone was suspected, and a CT scan demonstrated left hydronephrosis but failed to demonstrate nephrolithiasis or extrinsic compression. The
Indinavir sulphate is a protease inhibitor that has been found to be extremely effective in increasing CD4+ cell counts and in decreasing HIV-RNA titers in patients with HIV and AIDS. However, patients receiving indinavir also have been noted to have a significant risk of developing urolithiasis.
OBJECTIVE
We describe the unique CT features of ureteric calculi in six HIV-infected patients receiving indinavir, the most commonly used HIV protease inhibitor, which is associated with an increased incidence of urolithiasis.
CONCLUSIONS
Ureteric obstruction caused by precipitated indinavir
Indinavir is a potent protease inhibitor widely used in combination with reverse-transcriptase inhibitors to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease. Individuals treated with indinavir are prone to develop urinary complications, including renal colic, renal calculi, lower urinary tract
Drug-induced renal calculi represent 1-2% of all renal calculi. In the last decade, drugs used for the treatment of HIV-infected patients have become the most frequent cause of drug-containing urinary calculi. Among these agents, protease inhibitors (PIs) are well known to induce kidney stones,
Indinavir is a new specific and potent drug that inhibits, like other antiretroviral agents, the protease of immune deficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), an enzyme necessary to maduration and replication of the virus. Indinavir has the capacity to bind the active site
Tropical pancreatitis is a special type of chronic pancreatitis that is seen mainly in tropical countries. The prevalence of tropical pancreatitis is about 126/100,000 population in southern India. It occurs usually in young people, involves the main pancreatic duct and results in large ductal
