Drug-induced injury (DILI) is a frequent cause of abnormal liver tests and a leading cause of liver failure in the United States. Colchicine has long been used as a systemic anti-inflammatory agent for treatment of gout by inhibiting mitotic activity and neutrophil function. We present the first case of colchicine-induced hepatoxicity, supported by histopathologic findings characteristic of col...
Recurrent pericarditis is a rare complication following renal transplantation. Colchicine, an inhibitor of microtubule polymerization, has been recommended for the treatment of recurrent acute pericarditis in non-transplant patients and is commonly used for the treatment of gout in transplant patients. However, the use of colchicine for the treatment of recurrent pericarditis in renal transplan...
The present study was conducted to examine the response of amoeboid microglial cells in the postnatal rat brain to colchicine administration. One-day-old postnatal rats were given intraperitoneal injections of colchicine and sacrificed at 7, 14 and 21 days of age. In rats killed at 7 days age, the number of OX-42, OX-18 and ED1 positive amoeboid microglial cells was considerably reduced when co...
BACKGROUND Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a lethal disease characterized by obstructive pulmonary vascular remodeling and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. Although RV function predicts outcomes in PAH, mechanisms of RV dysfunction are poorly understood, and RV-targeted therapies are lacking. We hypothesized that in PAH, abnormal microtubular structure in RV cardiomyocytes impairs R...
Introduction Colchicine is the main therapeutic drug which is used for Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) and acute gout attacks. In a limited study, the leucocyte colchicine level has been implicated to be important for monitoring of drug level. It will be important especially in the drug resistant patients. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the usability of different matrix for the monitorin...
Myopathy and neuropathy that have been induced by colchicine have been described only occasionally, although colchicine is a widely used drug. We describe a case of colchicine-induced myopathy and neuropathy in an 84-year-old woman who had renal impairment. Results from a muscle biopsy showed characteristic vacuolar myopathy and autophagic vacuoles. The cessation of medication resulted in a mar...
We present a case of postcardiac injury syndrome with pericardial effusion following cardiac resynchronization therapy implantation which was treated by only colchicine. Although treatment using colchicine is not as common as NSAIDs or steroids, colchicine seems to be an effective and safe treatment option for the syndrome.
Colchicine has a low therapeutic index. Its toxic effects generally occur at doses ≥ 0.5 mg/kg. We present the case of a 39-year-old female with toxicity following ingestion of 0.28 mg/kg. The patient presented to the emergency department (ED) with severe nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain following an intentional multidrug ingestion that included colchicine, indomethacin, and zopiclone. Desp...
Colchicine is microtubule inhibiting agent used for thecure of various skin ailments causing inflammation and reduction of pain in gouty arthritis.The current study was designed to evaluate the effect of colchicine on cellular immune responses in mice.Cellular immune responses were assessed indelayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) assay, macrophage engulfment assay, cyclophosphamide induced neutro...
Introduction: According to previous studies, colchicine causes neuronal destruction and learning depression. In this project, effects of colchicine injection into the CA1 and interaction between colchicine and nitric oxide (NO) in this area on the expression of drug-seeking behavior were investigated. Methods: Wistar rats (250-300 g) were bilaterally cannulated at the CA1 area. Colchicine (2-8 ...
