Abstract
A 61-year-old man had a past history of type II #diabetesmellitus,
stage four chronic #kidneydisease, #coronaryartery disease and
congestive heart failure under #medicaltreatment. During September
2012, he was admitted due to general weakness, and was later
diagnosed with pulmonary and peritoneal #tuberculosis. Rifampin,
isoniazid, ethambutol and #pyrazinamide were prescribed as standard
treatment. The patient’s serum creatinine was 3.6mg/dL with
hyperuricemia (9.8mg/dL). Considering his #hyperuricemia and history
of gout, allopurinol 100mg/day was also initiated.
