DiscussionAfter development of ESRD due to amyloidosis secondary to FMF, most patients still need to continue colchicine to prevent FMF attacks and also retard the progression of amyloid deposition in the tissues, especially of the kidneys. The usual prophylactic dose is 0.5 mg once to thrice daily, and dose reductions are suggested for elderly, children and liver and renal failure patients [3]. Colchicine is mainly metabolized in the liver by CYP3A4 and is a substrate for the P-glycoprotein transporter (also known as multidrug transporter 1 and ATP-binding cassette B1 transporter). P-glycoprotein is associated with drug efflux from cells and colchicine excretion is largely dependent on P-glycoprotein. Urinary excretion of colchicine is about 10–20%, and a routine dose reduction is recommended for renal failure patients [2–4]. Therefore, many clinicians reduce the dose of colchicine for dialysis patients to avoid toxicity without complete cessation. Inhibitors of CYP3A4 (such as diltiazem, macrolide antibiotics, triazoles, etc.) increase the toxicity of colchicine [2–4]. Macrolides are also inhibitors of P-glycoproteins which can further impair colchicine elimination which is well reported [5–7]. Moreover, severe interactions have also been reported in patients using a combination of colchicine and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors in which muscle symptoms, including weakness and pain, are the main initial findings [6].
