ABSTRACT: Acute pericarditis is the most common form of pericardial disease that results in the need for empirical anti-inflammatory treatment. Allopurinol and colchicine are two medications that can be used to treat gout. This lesson will discuss the similarities and differences between. INTRODUCTION. Systemic autoimmune diseases, also known as systemic inflammatory diseases, are inflammatory syndromes involving at least two organ systems. L’hépatite autoimmune (HAI) est une maladie inflammatoire du foie caractérisée par la présence d’autoanticorps (AAc) sériques, d’une hypergammaglobulinémie polyclonale et d’une infiltration lymphocytaire périportale qui n’est pas due à une autre cause (médicamenteuse, virale ou toxique). Read about colchicine (Colcrys), a drug prescribed for the pain of acute gouty arthritis and FMF. Side effects, drug interactions, dosage, and preagnancy information is also included in the information. Colchicine toxicity has been linked to renal function and it has generally been advised to adjust colchicine dosing in patients with renal insufficiency. - biologie pour recherche d'une nécrose myocardique dans le cadre d'une myocardite (troponine, mais role incertain), apprécier le niveau d'inflammation (NFS et CRP ou fibrinogene) et le terrain, et rechercher une étiologie en fonction des points d'appel (ex. LDH et D-dimères). Colchicine for gout attacks. Colchicine is a prescription drug (Brand Name: Colcrys) that treats gout extracted from plants of the genus Colchicum, a very poisonous plant with no know antidote and known for its’ toxicity. Return to One-Minute Consult Index. Colchicine should be considered a first-line treatment for acute pericarditis and for preventing recurrent episodes, in view of clinical evidence suggesting that it is superior to conventional therapy and has a relatively mild side-effect profile.
