Severe Colchicine Intoxication in a Renal Transplant Recipient on Cyclosporine

Résumé

Using colchicine to treat an acute gout crisis in an organ transplant recipient (TR) on cyclosporine (CsA) may result in life-threatening intoxication. We report the case of a 59-year-old kidney transplant recipient on CsA who was treated with colchicine for acute gout crisis. Seven days later, he developed rhabdomyolysis with progressive quadriparesis, hematologic toxicity and acute renal failure. CsA inhibits P-glycoprotein resulting in decreased hepatic metabolism and renal excretion of colchicine. Colchicine and CsA withdrawal as well as appropriate supportive treatments were effective to manage all of these complications.
