HLA-B*5801 Screening to Prevent Allopurinol-induced Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reaction

February 7, 2017 updated by: Heung-Woo Park, Seoul National University Hospital

A Prospective Study to Prove the Usefulness of HLA-B*5801 Screening Test for the Prevention of Allopurinol-induced Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reaction in Patient With Chronic Kidney Disease

Allopurinol-induced severe cutaneous adverse reaction (SCAR) is a rare but fatal condition. Previous reports have reported that HLA-B*5801 is an important genetic risk factor significantly associated with the development of allopurinol-induced SCAR. However, there has been no prospective study to prove the clinical efficacy of a HLA-B*5801 screening before administration of allopurinol in predicting allopurinol-induced SCAR. The purpose of this prospective study is to test our hypothesis that a pre-screening of HLA-B*5801 will significantly reduce the risk of allopurinol-induced SCAR development compared to the historical control.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

      2. evidence of kidney damage (albuminuria, proteinuria, haematuria after exclusion of urological causes, or structural abnormalities on kidney imaging tests)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • a subject who refuses to participate in this study

Time Frame
An occurrence of allopurinol-induced severe cutaneous adverse reaction
Time Frame: Before 3 months after initiation of allopurinol

# Clinical presentations

  • Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), SJS/Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) overlap and TEN were diagnosed according to the range of detached surface area (< 10 %, 10-30 %, and > 30 %, respectively).
