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
As a member of the cysteine protease family, cathepsin S (CTSS) serves an important role in diseases such as cancer, arthritis and atherosclerosis. Nevertheless, its role in renal fibrosis is unknown. In the present study, the effects of CTSS on renal fibrosis in mild (group M) and severe (group S)
A case of an aggressive desmoid tumor in a patient with familial adenomatous polyposis is described. The lesion rapidlyenlarged with compression of adjacent structures including the ureter and small bowel, and the patient died because of small bowel perforation and hydronephrosis 3 years after
The development of HIV protease inhibitors has dramatically improved the treatment prognosis of HIV-infected patients. The treatment, however, is associated with the potential for adverse events that are unique to protease inhibitors. One of them, Indinavir, can lead to the development of urinary
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
The teratogenic effects of rabbit anti-rat-kidney serum (AKS) combined with E-64 (a thiol protease inhibitor) were examined. Wistar rats were injected with 10 or 20 mg/kg of E-64 on days 9 and 10 of gestation, and with a subteratogenic dose (1 ml/kg) of AKS on day 9 or day 10. The most common
To examine the effects of E-64 (a thiol protease inhibitor) on the development of rat embryos, pregnant Wistar rats were injected with 10-30 mg/kg of E-64 intra-peritoneally on days 9 and 10 of gestation. On day 21, the rats were killed and the fetuses were examined for malformations. When 30 mg/kg
Several signs to assist interpretation of unenhanced helical computed tomographic (CT) scans obtained for suspected ureterolithiasis have been described. Because signs such as perinephric stranding are not always readily apparent, a methodical approach to interpretation of CT studies is important in
Background: Protease inhibitors (PIs) are a well-documented cause of nephrolithiasis. Although medications such as indinavir are known to increase risk of stone formation, the association of newer HIV medications is not as well studied. In this study, we report a case of a patient who developed
A 26-year-old male who had been diagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis three years ago with an antituberculous chemotherapy of only two months, complained of tiredness, exertional dyspnea and fever since a month ago. Bloody sputum, bloody stool and hematuria have developed three days before admission.
