Article	Year
[A case of allopurinol-induced muscular damage in a chronic renal failure patient]. Nihon Jinzo Gakkai shi, 2002, Volume: 44, Issue:1 A 73-year-old woman with chronic renal failure developed generalized muscular weakness and pain 6 days after the start of allopurinol treatment(200 mg/day). Routine laboratory tests revealed elevated levels of serum creatine kinase, and the patient was clinically diagnosed as rhabdomyolysis, due probably to severe myositis. A high level of serum oxipurinol, the chief active metabolite of allopurinol, was also revealed. The muscular weakness was relieved in seven weeks with intermittent hemodiafiltration. Topics: Aged; Allopurinol; Female; Hemodiafiltration; Humans; Kidney Failure, Chronic; Myositis; Oxypurinol; Rhabdomyolysis	2002
Complex neuromuscular disorder in a patient with chronic myeloid leukaemia. Postgraduate medical journal, 1993, Volume: 69, Issue:810 We report a 44 year old man who developed external ophthalmoplegia and predominantly respiratory, truncal and bulbar weakness with brisk reflexes, histological evidence of an inflammatory myopathy and a high titre of acetylcholine receptor antibodies, one month after starting hydroxyurea and allopurinol for chronic myeloid leukaemia. The temporal relationship suggests a possible association between this patient's unusual neuromuscular disorder and either the chronic myeloid leukaemia or its treatment. Topics: Adult; Allopurinol; Antineoplastic Combined Chemotherapy Protocols; Humans; Hydroxyurea; Leukemia, Myelogenous, Chronic, BCR-ABL Positive; Male; Myositis; Neuromuscular Diseases; Ophthalmoplegia	1993
