Colchicine에 의한 횡문근융해증 1례

Abstract

Colchicine, a microtubule polymerization inhibitor, has been reported to cause myoneuropathy, and myotonia. Rhabdomyolysis induced by colchicine was rarely reported, although patients with impaired renal function appear to be a higher risk for colchicine induced neuromuscular adverse effects. Herein we report a case of a 56–year–old man who developed rhabdomyolysis after colchicine treatment for recurrent gout attacks, which was successfully treated with cessation of medication and hemodialysis.
