Preface

This seventh edition of the pocket companion to Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach, seventh edition, is designed to provide practitioners and students with critical information that can be easily used to guide drug therapy decision making in the clinical setting. To ensure brevity and portability, the bulleted format provides the user with essential textual information, key tables and figures, and treatment algorithms. Corresponding to the major sections in the main text, disorders are alphabetized within the following sections: Bone and Joint Disorders, Cardiovascular Disorders, Dermatologic Disorders, Endocrinologic Disorders, Gastrointestinal Disorders, Gynecologic and Obstetric Disorders, Hematologic Disorders, Infectious Diseases, Neurologic Disorders, Nutritional Disorders, Oncologic Disorders, Ophthalmic Disorders, Psychiatric Disorders, Renal Disorders, Respiratory Disorders, and Urologic Disorders. Drug-induced conditions associated with allergic and pseudoallergic reactions, hematologic disorders, liver disease, pulmonary disorders, and kidney disease appear in five tabular appendices. In the seventh edition, information on the management of pharmacotherapy in the elderly has been added as an appendix. Also in the seventh edition, chapters have been added on adrenal gland disorders and influenza. Carrying over a popular feature from Pharmacotherapy, each chapter is organized in a consistent format: • • • •

Disease state definition Concise review of relevant pathophysiology Clinical presentation Diagnosis

• Desired outcome • Treatment • Monitoring

The treatment section may include nonpharmacologic therapy, drug selection guidelines, dosing recommendations, adverse effects, pharmacokinetic considerations, and important drug–drug interactions. When more in-depth information is required, the reader is encouraged to refer to the primary text, Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach, seventh edition. It is our sincere hope that students and practitioners find this book helpful as they continuously strive to deliver highest quality patient-centered care. We invite your comments on how we may improve subsequent editions of this work. Barbara G. Wells Joseph T. DiPiro Terry L. Schwinghammer Cecily V.

To the Reader

Basic and clinical research provides a continuous flow of biomedical information that enables practitioners to use medications more effectively and safely. The editors, authors, and publisher of this book have made every effort to ensure accuracy of information provided. However, it is the responsibility of all practitioners to assess the appropriateness of published drug therapy information, especially in light of the specific clinical situation and new developments in the field. The editors and authors have taken care to recommend dosages that are consistent with current published guidelines and other responsible literature. However, when dealing with new and unfamiliar drug therapies, students and practitioners should consult several appropriate information sources.

Gout and Hyperuricemia

DEFINITIONS • The term gout describes a disease spectrum including hyperuricemia, recurrent attacks of acute arthritis associated with monosodium urate crystals in leukocytes found in synovial fluid, deposits of monosodium urate crystals in tissues (tophi), interstitial renal disease, and uric acid nephrolithiasis. • Hyperuricemia may be an asymptomatic condition, with an increased serum uric acid concentration as the only apparent abnormality. A urate concentration greater than 7.0 mg/dL is abnormal and associated with an increased risk for gout.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY • In humans, uric acid is the end product of the degradation of purines. It serves no known physiologic purpose and is regarded as a waste product. The size of the urate pool is increased severalfold in individuals with gout. This excess accumulation may result from either overproduction or underexcretion. • The purines from which uric acid is produced originate from three sources: dietary purine, conversion of tissue nucleic acid to purine nucleotides, and de novo synthesis of purine bases. • Abnormalities in the enzyme systems that regulate purine metabolism may result in overproduction of uric acid. An increase in the activity of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP) synthetase leads to an increased concentration of PRPP, a key determinant of purine synthesis and thus uric acid production. A deficiency of hypoxanthine–guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT) may also result in overproduction of uric acid. HGPRT is responsible for the conversion of guanine to guanylic acid and hypoxanthine to inosinic acid. These two conversions require PRPP as the cosubstrate and are important reutilization reactions involved in nucleic acid synthesis. A deficiency in the HGPRT enzyme leads to increased metabolism of guanine and hypoxanthine to uric acid and more PRPP to interact with glutamine in the first step of the purine pathway. Complete absence of HGPRT results in the childhood Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, characterized by choreoathetosis, spasticity, mental retardation, and markedly excessive production of uric acid. • Uric acid may also be overproduced as a consequence of increased breakdown of tissue nucleic acids, as with myeloproliferative and lymphoproliferative disorders. Cytotoxic drugs used to treat these disorders can 1

also result in overproduction of uric acid due to lysis and breakdown of cellular matter. Dietary purines play an unimportant role in the generation of hyperuricemia in the absence of some derangement in purine metabolism or elimination. About two-thirds of the uric acid produced each day is excreted in the urine. The remainder is eliminated through the GI tract after enzymatic degradation by colonic bacteria. A decline in the urinary excretion of uric acid to a level below the rate of production leads to hyperuricemia and an increased miscible pool of sodium urate. Drugs that decrease renal clearance of uric acid through modification of filtered load or one of the tubular transport processes include diuretics, nicotinic acid, salicylates (less than 2 g/day), ethanol, pyrazinamide, levodopa, ethambutol, cyclosporine, and cytotoxic drugs. The average human produces 600 to 800 mg of uric acid daily and excretes less than 600 mg in urine. Individuals who excrete more than 600 mg after being on a purine-free diet for 3 to 5 days are considered overproducers. Hyperuricemic individuals who excrete less than 600 mg of uric acid per 24 hours on a purine-free diet are defined as underexcretors of uric acid. On a regular diet, excretion of more than 1,000 mg per 24 hours reflects overproduction; less than this is probably normal. Deposition of urate crystals in synovial fluid results in an inflammatory process involving chemical mediators that cause vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, complement activation, and chemotactic activity for polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Phagocytosis of urate crystals by leukocytes results in rapid lysis of cells and a discharge of proteolytic enzymes into the cytoplasm. The ensuing inflammatory reaction is associated with intense joint pain, erythema, warmth, and swelling. Uric acid nephrolithiasis occurs in 10% to 25% of patients with gout. Predisposing factors include excessive urinary excretion of uric acid, acidic urine, and highly concentrated urine. In acute uric acid nephropathy, acute renal failure occurs as a result of blockage of urine flow secondary to massive precipitation of uric acid crystals in the collecting ducts and ureters. This syndrome is a wellrecognized complication in patients with myeloproliferative or lymphoproliferative disorders and results from massive malignant cell turnover, particularly after initiation of chemotherapy. Chronic urate nephropathy is caused by the long-term deposition of urate crystals in the renal parenchyma. Tophi (urate deposits) are uncommon in gouty subjects and are a late complication of hyperuricemia. The most common sites of tophaceous deposits in patients with recurrent acute gouty arthritis are the base of the great toe, helix of the ear, olecranon bursae, Achilles tendon, knees, wrists, and hands.

at first, most often affecting the first metatarsophalangeal joint (podagra), and then, in order of frequency, the insteps, ankles, heels, knees, wrists, fingers, and elbows. Attacks commonly begin at night, with the patient awakening from sleep with excruciating pain. The affected joints are erythematous, warm, and swollen. Fever and leukocytosis are common. Untreated attacks may last from 3 to 14 days before spontaneous recovery. • Although acute attacks of gouty arthritis may occur without apparent provocation, attacks may be precipitated by stress, trauma, alcohol ingestion, infection, surgery, rapid lowering of serum uric acid by ingestion of uric acid–lowering agents, and ingestion of certain drugs known to elevate serum uric acid concentrations.

DIAGNOSIS • The definitive diagnosis is accomplished by aspiration of synovial fluid from the affected joint and identification of intracellular crystals of monosodium urate monohydrate in synovial fluid leukocytes. • When joint aspiration is not a viable option, a presumptive diagnosis of acute gouty arthritis may be made on the basis of the presence of the characteristic signs and symptoms, as well as the response to treatment.

DESIRED OUTCOME • The goals in the treatment of gout are to terminate the acute attack, prevent recurrent attacks of gouty arthritis, and prevent complications associated with chronic deposition of urate crystals in tissues.

TREATMENT ACUTE GOUTY ARTHRITIS (Fig. 1-1) Nonpharmacologic Therapy • Patients may be advised to reduce their intake of foods high in purines (e.g., organ meats), avoid alcohol, increase fluid intake, and lose weight if obese. • Joint rest for 1 to 2 days should be encouraged, and local application of ice may be beneficial. Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs • Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the mainstay of therapy because of their excellent efficacy and minimal toxicity with shortterm use. There is little evidence to support one NSAID as more efficacious than another, and three drugs (indomethacin, naproxen, and sulindac) have FDA approval for this indication (Table 1-1). • Therapy should be initiated with maximum recommended doses for gout at the onset of symptoms and continued for 24 hours after complete resolution of an acute attack, then tapered quickly over 2 to 3 days. Acute attacks generally resolve within 5 to 8 days after initiating therapy. 3

300 mg twice daily 300–600 mg three to four times daily 800 mg four times a day 25–50 mg four times a day for 3 days, then taper to twice daily for 4–7 days 75 mg four times a day 500 mg twice daily for 3 days, then 250–500 mg daily for 4–7 days 20 mg once daily or 10 mg twice daily 200 mg twice daily for 7–10 days

• The most common adverse effects involve the GI system (gastritis, bleeding, and perforation), kidneys (renal papillary necrosis, reduced creatinine clearance [CLcr]), cardiovascular system (sodium and fluid retention, increased blood pressure), and CNS (impaired cognitive function, headache, dizziness). • Although the risk of GI complications is relatively small with short-term therapy, coadministration with a proton pump inhibitor should be considered in elderly patients and others at increased GI risk. NSAIDs should be used with caution in individuals with a history of peptic ulcer disease, heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, renal insufficiency, coronary artery disease, or if they are receiving anticoagulants concurrently. • The efficacy and safety of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) selective inhibitors (e.g., celecoxib) have not been fully assessed in gouty arthritis, but they are more costly than conventional NSAIDs and are unlikely to result in fewer GI complications because of the short duration of therapy. Colchicine • Colchicine is an antimitotic drug that is highly effective in relieving acute gout attacks but has a low benefit-toxicity ratio. When colchicine is started within the first 24 hours of an acute attack, about two-thirds of patients respond within several hours. The likelihood of success decreases substantially if treatment is delayed longer than 48 hours after symptom onset. • Oral colchicine causes dose-dependent GI adverse effects (nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea) in 50% to 80% of patients before relief of the attack. Non-GI adverse effects include neutropenia and axonal neuromyopathy, which may be worsened in patients taking other myopathic drugs (e.g., statins) or in those with renal insufficiency. Colchicine should not be used concurrently with macrolide antibiotics (especially clarithromycin) because reduced biliary excretion may lead to increased plasma colchicine levels and agranulocytosis. • Colchicine should be reserved for patients with insufficient relief, intolerance, or contraindications to NSAIDs. • The usual oral colchicine dose is 1 mg initially, followed by 0.5 mg every 1 hour until the joint symptoms subside, the patient develops abdominal discomfort or diarrhea, or a total dose of 8 mg has been given. 5

Bone and Joint Disorders

• IV colchicine should be avoided because it is associated with serious adverse effects (e.g., bone marrow suppression, tissue necrosis from local extravasation, disseminated intravascular coagulation, hepatocellular toxicity, and renal failure). If considered necessary, the recommended initial IV dose is 2 mg (if renal function is normal) diluted in 10 to 20 mL of normal saline administered slowly over 10 to 20 minutes in a secure, freeflowing IV line to avoid extravasation. This may be followed by two additional doses of 1 mg each at 6-hour intervals, with the total dose not exceeding 4 mg. After a full IV course, patients should not receive colchicine by any route for at least 7 days. Corticosteroids • Corticosteroids may be used to treat acute attacks of gouty arthritis, but they are reserved primarily for patients with a contraindication or who are unresponsive to NSAID or colchicine therapy. Patients with multiple-joint involvement may also benefit. • The recommended dose is prednisone 30 to 60 mg (or an equivalent dose of another corticosteroid) orally once daily for 3 to 5 days. Because rebound attacks may occur upon steroid withdrawal, the dose should be gradually tapered in 5-mg increments over 10 to 14 days and discontinued. • A single intramuscular injection of a long-acting corticosteroid (e.g., methylprednisolone acetate) can be used as an alternative to the oral route if patients are unable to take oral therapy. If not contraindicated, low-dose colchicine can be used as adjunctive therapy to injectable corticosteroids to prevent rebound flare-ups. • Intraarticular administration of triamcinolone hexacetonide 20 to 40 mg may be useful for acute gout limited to one or two joints. • Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) gel, 40 to 80 USP units, may be given intramuscularly every 6 to 8 hours for 2 to 3 days and then discontinued. Studies with ACTH are limited, and it should be reserved for patients with contraindications to first-line therapies (e.g., heart failure, chronic renal failure, history of GI bleeding).

PROPHYLACTIC THERAPY OF INTERCRITICAL GOUT General Approach • Prophylactic treatment can be withheld if the first episode of acute gouty arthritis was mild and responded promptly to treatment, the patient’s serum urate concentration was only minimally elevated, and the 24-hour urinary uric acid excretion was not excessive (less than 1,000 mg/24 hours on a regular diet). • If the patient had a severe attack of gouty arthritis, a complicated course of uric acid lithiasis, a substantially elevated serum uric acid (greater than 10 mg/dL), or a 24-hour urinary excretion of uric acid of more than 1,000 mg, then prophylactic treatment should be instituted immediately after resolution of the acute episode. • Prophylactic therapy is cost-effective for patients with frequent attacks of gouty arthritis (i.e., two or more attacks per year) even if the serum uric acid concentration is normal or only minimally elevated. 6

CHAPTER 1

Colchicine • Colchicine given in low oral doses (0.5 to 0.6 mg twice daily) may be effective in preventing recurrent arthritis in patients with no evidence of visible tophi and a normal or slightly elevated serum urate concentration. The oral dose should be reduced to no more than 0.6 mg daily or every other day in patients with renal or hepatic dysfunction. Treated patients who sense the onset of an acute attack should increase the dose to 1 mg every 2 hours; in most instances, the attack aborts after 1 or 2 mg. Discontinuation of prophylaxis may be attempted if the serum urate concentration remains normal and the patient is symptom-free for 1 year. Uric Acid–Lowering Therapy • Patients with a history of recurrent acute gouty arthritis and a significantly elevated serum uric acid concentration are probably best managed with uric acid–lowering therapy. • Colchicine, 0.5 mg twice daily, is sometimes given during the first 6 to 12 months of antihyperuricemic therapy to minimize the risk of acute attacks that may occur during initiation of uric acid–lowering therapy. • The therapeutic objective of antihyperuricemic therapy is to achieve and maintain a serum uric acid concentration less than 6 mg/dL, and preferably below 5 mg/dL. Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitor • Allopurinol and its major metabolite, oxypurinol, are xanthine oxidase inhibitors and impair the conversion of hypoxanthine to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid. Allopurinol also lowers the intracellular concentration of PRPP. Because of the long half-life of its metabolite, allopurinol can be given once daily orally. It is typically initiated at a dose of 100 mg/day and increased by 100 mg/day at 1-week intervals to achieve a serum uric acid level of 6 mg/dL or less. Serum levels can be checked about 1 week after starting therapy or modifying the dose. Although typical doses are 100 to 300 mg daily, occasionally doses of 600 to 800 mg/day are necessary. The dose should be reduced in patients with renal insufficiency (200 mg/day for CLcr 60 mL/min or less, and 100 mg/day for CLcr 30 mL/min or less). • Allopurinol is the antihyperuricemic drug of choice in patients with a history of urinary stones or impaired renal function, in patients who have lymphoproliferative or myeloproliferative disorders and need pretreatment with a xanthine oxidase inhibitor before initiation of cytotoxic therapy to protect against acute uric acid nephropathy, and in patients with gout who are overproducers of uric acid. • The major side effects of allopurinol are skin rash, urticaria, leukopenia, GI problems, headache, and increased frequency of acute gouty attacks with the initiation of therapy. An allopurinol hypersensitivity syndrome characterized by fever, eosinophilia, dermatitis, vasculitis, and renal and hepatic dysfunction occurs rarely but is associated with a 20% mortality rate. Uricosuric Drugs • Probenecid and sulfinpyrazone increase the renal clearance of uric acid by inhibiting the renal tubular reabsorption of uric acid. They should only be 7

used in patients with documented underexcretion of uric acid. Therapy with uricosuric drugs should be started at a low dose to avoid marked uricosuria and possible stone formation. Maintenance of adequate urine flow and alkalinization of the urine with sodium bicarbonate or Shohl’s solution during the first several days of uricosuric therapy further diminish the possibility of uric acid stone formation. • Probenecid is given initially at a dose of 250 mg twice daily for 1 to 2 weeks, then 500 mg twice daily for 2 weeks. Thereafter, the daily dose is increased by 500-mg increments every 1 to 2 weeks until satisfactory control is achieved or a maximum dose of 2 g/day is reached. • The initial dose of sulfinpyrazone is 50 mg twice daily for 3 to 4 days, then 100 mg twice daily, increasing the daily dose by 100-mg increments each week up to 800 mg/day. • The major side effects associated with uricosuric therapy are GI irritation, rash and hypersensitivity, precipitation of acute gouty arthritis, and stone formation. These drugs are contraindicated in patients who are allergic to them and in patients with impaired renal function (CLcr 65 years • Comorbid medical conditions • Oral glucocorticoid use • History of peptic ulcer disease • History of upper GI bleed • Oral anticoagulant use Select: COX-2 inhibitor or NSAID + PPI or NSAID + misoprostol or COX-2 inhibitor + PPI

CHAPTER 2

• All NSAIDs have the potential to cause gastric and duodenal ulcers and bleeding through direct (topical) or indirect (systemic) mechanisms. Risk factors for NSAID-associated ulcers and ulcer complications (perforation, gastric outlet obstruction, GI bleeding) include increased age, comorbid medical conditions (e.g., cardiovascular disease), concomitant corticosteroid or anticoagulant therapy, and history of peptic ulcer disease or upper GI bleeding. • For OA patients who need an NSAID but are at high risk for GI complications, the ACR recommendations include either a COX-2 selective inhibitor or a nonselective NSAID in combination with either a proton pump inhibitor or misoprostol. • NSAIDs may also cause kidney diseases, hepatitis, hypersensitivity reactions, rash, and CNS complaints of drowsiness, dizziness, headaches, depression, confusion, and tinnitus. All nonselective NSAIDs inhibit COX-1-dependent thromboxane production in platelets, thereby increasing bleeding risk. NSAIDs should be avoided in late pregnancy because of the risk of premature closure of the ductus arteriosus. • The most potentially serious drug interactions include the concomitant use of NSAIDs with lithium, warfarin, oral hypoglycemics, high-dose methotrexate, antihypertensives, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, βblockers, and diuretics. Topical Therapies • Capsaicin, an extract of red peppers that causes release and ultimately depletion of substance P from nerve fibers, has been beneficial in providing pain relief in OA when applied topically over affected joints. It may be used alone or in combination with oral analgesics or NSAIDs. • To be effective, capsaicin must be used regularly, and it may take up to 2 weeks to work. It is well tolerated, but some patients experience temporary burning or stinging at the site of application. Patients should be warned not to get the cream in their eyes or mouth and to wash their hands after application. • Application of the cream, gel, or lotion is recommended four times daily, but tapering to twice-daily application may enhance long-term adherence with adequate pain relief. • Topical diclofenac in a dimethyl sulfoxide carrier (Pennsaid) is a safe and effective treatment for OA pain. It is thought to act primarily by local inhibition of COX-2 enzymes. The product was under review by the U.S. FDA at the time of this writing. • Topical rubefacients containing methyl salicylate, trolamine salicylate, and other salicylates may have modest, short-term efficacy for treating acute pain associated with OA. Glucosamine and Chondroitin • Glucosamine and chondroitin are dietary supplements that were shown to stimulate proteoglycan synthesis from articular cartilage in vitro. Although their excellent safety profile makes them appealing for patients at high risk of adverse drug events, enthusiasm waned after results of a large, well-controlled, National Institutes of Health-sponsored clinical trial demonstrated no significant clinical response to glucosamine alone, chon15

Bone and Joint Disorders

droitin alone, or combination therapy when compared to placebo across all patients. In subgroup analyses, patients with moderate to severe knee pain showed a response to combination glucosamine–chondroitin therapy superior to placebo, but this finding did not reach the predetermined threshold for pain reduction. • Because of their relative safety, a trial of glucosamine–chondroitin may be reasonable in patients considering alternatives to traditional OA treatment. Dosing should be at least glucosamine sulfate 1,500 mg/day and chondroitin sulfate 1,200 mg/day in divided doses. • Glucosamine adverse effects are mild and include GI gas, bloating, and cramps; it should not be used in patients with shellfish allergies. The most common adverse effect of chondroitin is nausea. Corticosteroids • Systemic corticosteroid therapy is not recommended in OA, given the lack of proven benefit and the well-known adverse effects with long-term use. • Intraarticular corticosteroid injections can provide relief, particularly when a joint effusion is present. Average doses for injection of large joints in adults are methylprednisolone acetate 20 to 40 mg or triamcinolone hexacetonide 10 to 20 mg. After aseptic aspiration of the effusion and corticosteroid injection, initial pain relief may occur within 24 to 72 hours, with peak relief occurring in about 1 week and lasting for 4 to 8 weeks. The patient should minimize joint activity and stress on the joint for several days after the injection. Therapy is generally limited to three or four injections per year because of the potential systemic effects of the drugs and because the need for more frequent injections indicates poor response to therapy. Hyaluronate Injections • High-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid is a constituent of normal cartilage that provides lubrication with motion and shock absorbency during rapid movements. Because the concentration and molecular size of endogenous hyaluronic acid decrease in OA, exogenous administration has been studied in an attempt to reconstitute synovial fluid and reduce symptoms. • Hyaluronic acid injections temporarily and modestly increase synovial fluid viscosity and were reported to decrease pain, but many studies were short term and poorly controlled with high placebo response rates. • Four intraarticular hyaluronic acid preparations are available for treating pain associated with OA of the knee: sodium hyaluronate (Hyalgan 20 mg/2 mL; Supartz 25 mg/2.5 mL), hylan polymers (Synvisc 16 mg/2 mL), and hyaluronan (Orthovisc 30 mg/2 mL). Hyalgan and Supartz are administered once weekly for five injections, whereas Synvisc and Orthovisc are administered once weekly for three injections. • Injections are well tolerated, but acute joint swelling and local skin reactions (e.g., rash, ecchymoses, or pruritus) have been reported. • These products may be beneficial for OA of the knee that is unresponsive to other therapy, but they are expensive because treatment includes both drug and administration costs.

CHAPTER 2

Opioid Analgesics • Low-dose opioid analgesics (e.g., oxycodone) may be useful for patients who experience no relief with acetaminophen, NSAIDs, intraarticular injections, or topical therapy. • They are particularly useful in patients who cannot take NSAIDs because of renal failure, or for patients in whom all other treatment options have failed and who are at high surgical risk, precluding joint arthroplasty. • Low-dose opioids should be used initially, usually in combination with acetaminophen. Sustained-release compounds usually offer better pain control throughout the day and are used when simple opioids are ineffective. Tramadol • Tramadol with or without acetaminophen has modest analgesic effects in patients with OA. It may also be effective as add-on therapy in patients taking concomitant NSAIDs or COX-2 selective inhibitors. As with opioids, tramadol may be helpful for patients who cannot take NSAIDs or COX-2 selective inhibitors. • Tramadol should be initiated at a lower dose (100 mg/day in divided doses) and may be titrated as needed for pain control to a dose of 200 mg/ day. It is available in a combination tablet with acetaminophen and as a sustained-release tablet. • Opioid-like adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, constipation, headache, and somnolence are common.

EVALUATION OF THERAPEUTIC OUTCOMES • To monitor efficacy, the patient’s baseline pain can be assessed with a visual analog scale, and range of motion for affected joints can be assessed with flexion, extension, abduction, or adduction. • Depending on the joint affected, measurement of grip strength and 50-feet walking time can help assess hand and hip/knee OA, respectively. • Baseline radiographs can document the extent of joint involvement and follow disease progression with therapy. • Other measures include the clinician’s global assessment based on the patient’s history of activities and limitations caused by OA, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthrosis Index, Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire, and documentation of analgesic or NSAID use. • Patients should be asked if they are having adverse effects from their medications. They should also be monitored for any signs of drug-related effects, such as skin rash, headaches, drowsiness, weight gain, or hypertension from NSAIDs. • Baseline serum creatinine, hematology profiles, and serum transaminases with repeat levels at 6- to 12-month intervals are useful in identifying specific toxicities to the kidney, liver, GI tract, or bone marrow.

Osteoporosis

DEFINITION • Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength predisposing individuals to an increased fracture risk. • Categories of osteoporosis include: (1) postmenopausal osteoporosis, (2) agerelated osteoporosis, and (3) secondary osteoporosis.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY • Bone loss occurs when bone resorption exceeds bone formation, usually from high bone turnover when the number and/or depth of bone resorption sites greatly exceed the rate and ability of osteoblasts to form new bone. • In addition to reduced bone mineral density (BMD), bone quality and structural integrity are impaired because of the increased quantity of immature bone that is not yet adequately mineralized. • Men and women begin to lose a small amount of bone mass starting in the third or fourth decade as a consequence of reduced bone formation. Estrogen deficiency during menopause increases proliferation, differentiation, and activation of new osteoclasts and prolongs survival of mature osteoclasts; this increases bone resorption more than formation. Men do not undergo a period of accelerated bone resorption similar to menopause. The etiology of male osteoporosis is multifactorial; secondary causes and aging are the most common contributing factors. • Age-related osteoporosis occurs mainly because of hormone, calcium, and vitamin D deficiencies leading to accelerated bone turnover and reduced osteoblast formation. • Drug-induced osteoporosis may result from systemic corticosteroids (prednisone doses greater than 7.5 mg/day), thyroid hormone replacement, some antiepileptic drugs (e.g., phenytoin, phenobarbital), depot medroxyprogesterone acetate, and other agents.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION • Many patients are unaware that they have osteoporosis and only present after fracture. Fractures can occur after bending, lifting, or falling, or independent of any activity. • The most common osteoporosis-related fractures involve the vertebrae, proximal femur, and distal radius (wrist or Colles’ fracture). Two-thirds of patients with vertebral fractures are asymptomatic; the remainder present with moderate to severe back pain that radiates down a leg after a new vertebral fracture. The pain usually subsides significantly after 2 to 4 weeks, but residual, chronic, low-back pain may persist. Multiple vertebral fractures decrease height and sometimes curve the spine (kyphosis or lordosis) with or without significant back pain. 18

CHAPTER 3

• Patients with a nonvertebral fracture frequently present with severe pain, swelling, and reduced function and mobility at the fracture site.

DIAGNOSIS • A patient history should be obtained to identify history of adult fractures, comorbidities, surgeries, falls, and the presence of risk factors for osteoporosis. • Major risk factors include current smoker, low body weight (3 months, treatment options include a taxane, gemcitabine, topotecan, irinotecan, CAV (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and vincristine), and vinorelbine. • Patients with SCLC that recurs within 3 months of first-line chemotherapy are considered refractory to chemotherapy and unlikely to respond to a second-line regimen.

EVALUATION OF THERAPEUTIC OUTCOMES • Efficacy of induction therapy for SCLC should be determined after two to three cycles of chemotherapy. If there is no response or progressive disease, therapy can be discontinued or changed to a non–cross-resistant regimen. If responsive to chemotherapy, the induction regimen should be administered for four to six cycles. • Intensive therapeutic monitoring is required for all lung cancer patients to avoid drug-related and radiotherapy-related toxicities. These patients frequently have numerous concurrent medical problems requiring close attention. • References should be consulted for management of common toxicities associated with the aggressive chemotherapy regimens used for lung cancer.

Lymphomas

DEFINITION • Lymphomas are a heterogenous group of malignancies that arise from immune cells residing predominantly in lymphoid tissues. Differences in histology have led to classification as Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL and NHL, respectively), which are addressed separately in this chapter.

HODGKIN’S LYMPHOMA PATHOPHYSIOLOGY • Current hypotheses indicate that B-cell transcriptional processes are disrupted, which prevent expression of B-cell surface markers and production of immunoglobulin messenger RNA. Alterations in the normal apoptotic pathways favor cell survival and proliferation. • Malignant Reed-Sternberg cells overexpress nuclear factor-κ B, which is associated with cell proliferation and anti-apoptotic signals. Infections with viral and bacterial pathogens upregulate nuclear factor-κ B. EpsteinBarr virus is found in many, but not all, HL tumors.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION • Most patients with HL present with a painless, rubbery lymph node. Adenopathy is usually localized to the cervical region but can also occur in the mediastinal, hilar, and retroperitoneal regions. • Constitutional, or “B,” symptoms (e.g., fever, night sweats, weight loss, and pruritus) are present at diagnosis in approximately 25% of patients with HL.

DIAGNOSIS AND STAGING • Diagnosis requires the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells in the lymph node biopsy. • Staging is performed to provide prognostic information and to guide therapy. Clinical staging is based on noninvasive procedures such as history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and radiography. Pathologic staging is based on biopsy findings of strategic sites (e.g., muscle, bone, skin, spleen, abdominal nodes) using an invasive procedure (e.g., laparoscopy). • Approximately half of the patients have localized disease (stages I, II, and IIE). The other half has advanced disease at diagnosis, of which 10% to 15% is stage IV. • Prognosis predominantly depends on age and stage; patients older than 65 to 70 years are 50% as likely to be cured as younger patients. Patients with limited stage disease (stages I to II) have a 90% to 95% cure rate, whereas those with advanced disease (stages III to IV) have a 65% to 75% cure rate. 704

CHAPTER 64

TREATMENT SUMMARY • The treatment goal for HL is to maximize curability while minimizing treatment-related complications. • Treatment options include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or both (combined-modality therapy). The therapeutic role of surgery is limited, regardless of stage. • Combination chemotherapy is the primary treatment modality for most HL patients. • Radiation therapy is an integral part of treatment and can be used alone for selected patients with early-stage disease, although most patients will receive chemotherapy and radiation. Involved-field radiation therapy targets a single field of HL. Extended-field or subtotal nodal radiation targets the involved field and an uninvolved area. Total nodal radiation therapy targets all areas. • Long-term complications of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and chemoradiotherapy include gonadal dysfunction, secondary malignancies, and cardiac disease. Patients treated for HL are at increased risk of developing leukemia, GI tumors, lung cancer, and breast cancer.

Initial Chemotherapy • Two to 8 cycles of chemotherapy should be administered, depending on the stage of disease and presence of risk factors (Tables 64-1 and 64-2). Salvage Chemotherapy • Response to salvage therapy depends on the extent and site of recurrence, previous therapy, and duration of first remission. Choice of salvage therapy should be guided by response to initial therapy and a patient’s ability to tolerate therapy. • Patients who relapse after an initial complete response can be treated with the same regimen, a non–cross-resistant regimen, radiation therapy, or highdose chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). • Lack of complete remission after initial therapy or relapse within one year after completing initial therapy is associated with poor prognosis. Patients with these prognostic factors are candidates for high-dose chemotherapy and HSCT.

NON-HODGKIN’S LYMPHOMA PATHOPHYSIOLOGY • Chromosomal translocations have become a hallmark of many lymphomas and are helpful in the diagnosis and classification of lymphoid malignancies. NHL often involves extranodal sites and does not spread through contiguous lymph nodes. • NHLs are derived from monoclonal proliferation of B or, less commonly, T lymphocytes and their precursors. Two categories of B- and T-cell neoplasms are “precursor” neoplasms corresponding to the earliest stages of differentiation, and “peripheral” neoplasms corresponding to the more differentiated cell stages.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION • Patients present with a variety of symptoms, which depend on the site of involvement and whether it is nodal or extranodal. • Adenopathy can be localized or generalized. Involved nodes are painless, rubbery, and discrete and are usually located in the cervical and supraclavicular regions. Mesenteric or GI involvement can cause nausea, vomiting, obstruction, abdominal pain, palpable abdominal mass, or GI bleeding. Bone marrow involvement can cause symptoms related to anemia, neutropenia, or thrombocytopenia. • Forty percent of patients with NHL present with B symptoms—fever, night sweats, and weight loss.

DIAGNOSIS AND STAGING • Diagnosis is established by biopsy of an involved lymph node. • Diagnostic workup of NHL is generally similar to that of HL. • Systems for classifying NHLs continue to evolve. Lymphomas can be classified by degree of aggressiveness. Slow-growing or indolent lympho706

mas are favorable (untreated survival measured in years), whereas rapidgrowing or aggressive lymphomas are unfavorable (untreated survival measured in weeks to months). • Prognosis depends on histologic subtype and clinical risk factors (e.g., age more than 60 years, performance status of 2 or more, elevated lactic dehydrogenase, extranodal involvement, and stage III or IV disease). These risk factors are used to calculate the International Prognostic Index. • A newer prognostic index uses similar risk factors except that poor performance status is replaced with low hemoglobin (less than 12 g/dL). Current research is focused on the prognostic importance of phenotypic and molecular characteristics of NHL.

DESIRED OUTCOME • The primary treatment goals for NHL are to relieve symptoms and, whenever possible, cure the patient of disease without causing unacceptable toxicity.

TREATMENT General Principles • Appropriate therapy for NHL depends on many factors including patient age, histologic type, stage and site of disease, presence of adverse prognostic factors, and patient preference. • Treatment is divided into two categories: limited disease (e.g., localized disease; Ann Arbor stages I and II) and advanced disease (e.g., Ann Arbor stage III or IV and stage II patients with poor prognostic features). • Treatment options include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and biologic agents. • Radiation therapy is rarely suitable for remission induction because NHL is rarely localized at diagnosis. Radiation therapy is used more commonly in advanced disease, mainly as a palliative measure. • Effective chemotherapy ranges from single-agent therapy for indolent lymphomas to aggressive, complex combination regimens for aggressive lymphomas. Paradoxically, indolent or favorable lymphomas are rarely curable, whereas aggressive or unfavorable lymphomas are potentially curable. • Treatment strategies are summarized for the most common NHLs as examples of how to treat indolent (i.e., follicular) and aggressive (i.e., 708

CHAPTER 64

diffuse large B-cell) lymphomas. Strategies are also summarized for acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)–related lymphoma. Indolent Lymphomas • Follicular lymphomas occur in older adults with a majority having advanced disease at diagnosis. The clinical course is generally indolent, with median survival of 8 to 10 years. The natural history of follicular lymphoma is unpredictable with spontaneous regression of objective disease seen in 20% to 30% of patients. Localized Follicular Lymphoma • Options for stage I and II follicular lymphoma include locoregional radiation therapy, chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy, and extended-field radiation therapy. • Radiation therapy is the standard treatment and is usually curative. Chemotherapy is not recommended, unless the patient has high-risk, stage II disease. Advanced Follicular Lymphoma • Management of stages III and IV indolent lymphoma is controversial because standard approaches are not curative. Time to relapse is only 18 to 36 months. After relapse, response can be reinduced; however, response rates and durations decrease with each retreatment. • Therapeutic options are diverse and include watchful waiting, single-agent therapy, combination chemotherapy, biologic therapy, radioimmunotherapy, and combined-modality therapy. Immediate aggressive therapy does not improve survival compared with conservative therapy (i.e., watchful waiting followed by single-agent chemotherapy, rituximab or radiation therapy, only when needed). • Oral alkylating agents, chlorambucil, 0.1 to 0.2 mg/kg, or cyclophosphamide, 1.5 to 2.5 mg/kg (adjusted to white blood cell and platelet counts), are the mainstay of treatment. These single agents are as effective as combination regimens and produce minimal toxicity, but secondary acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is a concern. Fludarabine and cladribine produce high response rates without secondary AML, but they are more myelosuppressive. • Rituximab, a chimeric monoclonal antibody directed at the CD20 molecule on B cells, has become one of the most widely used therapies for follicular lymphoma. Rituximab is approved for first-line therapy either alone or combined with chemotherapy and as maintenance therapy for patients with stable disease or with partial or complete response following induction chemotherapy. • The rituximab dosage is 375 mg/m2 weekly for 4 weeks. Maintenance schedules include 375 mg/m2 weekly for 4 weeks every 6 months for 2 years or 375 mg/m2 every 2 to 3 months for 1 to 2 years. Maintenance rituximab significantly prolongs progression-free and overall survival as compared with observation or initiation of rituximab at the time of disease progression. • Adverse effects are usually infusion related, especially after the first infusion of rituximab. Adverse effects include fever, chills, respiratory 709

symptoms, fatigue, headache, pruritus, and angioedema. Patients should receive acetaminophen, 650 mg, and diphenhydramine, 50 mg, 30 minutes before the infusion. Anti-CD20 radioimmunoconjugates are mouse antibodies linked to radioisotopes (e.g., 131I-tositumomab and 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan). They have the advantage of delivering radiation to tumor cells expressing the CD20 antigen and to adjacent tumor cells that do not express it. They have the disadvantage of damaging adjacent normal tissue (e.g., bone marrow). Radioimmunotherapy was initially used as salvage therapy and is being evaluated as first-line therapy in combination with CHOP (cyclophosphamids, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone). Radioimmunotherapy is generally well tolerated. Toxicities include infusion-related reactions, myelosuppression, and possibly myelodysplastic syndrome or AML. 131I-tositumomab can cause thyroid dysfunction. The decision to use radioimmunotherapy requires consideration of the complexity, risks, and cost. The ideal candidate has limited bone marrow involvement and adequate blood cell counts. High-dose chemotherapy followed by HSCT is an option for relapsed follicular lymphoma. The recurrence rate is lower after allogeneic than after autologous HSCT, but the benefit is offset by increased treatmentrelated mortality. The ideal candidate is young and does not have serious comorbidities.

Aggressive Lymphomas • Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas are the most common lymphoma in patients of all ages but most commonly seen in the seventh decade. Extranodal disease is present at diagnosis in 30% to 40% of patients. The International Prognostic Index score correlates with prognosis. Diffuse aggressive lymphomas are sensitive to chemotherapy with cure achieved in some patients. Early-Stage Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma • Stage I and nonbulky stage II should be treated with three to four cycles of rituximab and CHOP (R-CHOP) (Table 64-3) followed by locoregional radiation therapy. • Patients with at least one adverse risk factor should receive six to eight cycles of R-CHOP followed by locoregional radiation therapy.

CHAPTER 64

Advanced Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Disease • Bulky stage II and stages III and IV lymphoma should be treated with RCHOP or rituximab and CHOP-like chemotherapy until achieving complete response (usually four cycles). Two or more additional cycles should be given following complete response for a total of six to eight cycles. Maintenance therapy following a complete response does not improve survival. • High-dose chemotherapy with autologous HSCT should be considered in high-risk patients who respond to standard chemotherapy and are candidates for autologous HSCT. • Although historically, elderly adults have lower complete response and survival rates than younger patients, full dose R-CHOP is recommended as initial treatment for aggressive lymphoma in the elderly. Salvage Therapy for Aggressive Lymphoma • Approximately one-third of patients with aggressive lymphoma will require salvage therapy at some point. Salvage therapy is more likely to induce response if the response to initial chemotherapy was complete (chemosensitivity) than if it was primarily or partially resistant to chemotherapy. • High-dose chemotherapy with autologous HSCT is the therapy of choice for younger patients with chemosensitive relapse. • Salvage regimens incorporate drugs not used as initial therapy. Commonly used regimens include DHAP (dexamethasone, high-dose cytarabine, and cisplatin), ESHAP (etoposide, methylprednisolone, high-dose cytarabine, and cisplatin), and MINE (mesna, ifosfamide, mitoxantrone, and etoposide). None is clearly superior to the others. • ICE (ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide) appears to be better tolerated than cisplatin-containing regimens, especially in elderly adults. • Rituximab is being evaluated in combination with many salvage regimens. Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome • Patients with AIDS have more than a 100-fold increased risk of developing NHL, which is usually aggressive. • Treatment of AIDS-related lymphoma is difficult because underlying immunodeficiency increases the risk of treatment-related myelosuppression. • Standard combination regimens (e.g., CHOP) yield disappointing results. Newer approaches including dose-adjusted EPOCH (etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin), and rituximabcontaining combination chemotherapy are promising. • Antiretroviral therapy and prophylactic antibiotics should be continued during chemotherapy.

EVALUATION OF THERAPEUTIC OUTCOMES • The primary outcome to be identified is tumor response, which is based on physical examination, radiologic evidence, and other baseline findings. Complete response is desirable because it yields the only chance for cure. 711

SECTION 11

Oncologic Disorders

• Patients are evaluated for response at the end of four cycles or, if treatment is shorter, at the end of treatment. • Optimal outcomes for most types of lymphoma may require delivery of full doses on time. Hematopoietic growth factors and other supportive care measures are often needed to achieve this goal. • To optimize chemotherapy administration, the clinician must identify, monitor, treat, and prevent or minimize treatment-related toxicity. Pertinent laboratory data and other procedures should be reviewed to establish a baseline for monitoring purposes. Major organ and system toxicities to be monitored include hematologic, neurologic, skin, pulmonary, GI, renal, and cardiac.

Prostate Cancer

DEFINITION • Prostate cancer is a malignant neoplasm that arises from the prostate gland. Prostate cancer has an indolent course; localized prostate cancer is curable by surgery or radiation therapy but advanced prostate cancer is not yet curable.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY • The normal prostate is composed of acinar secretory cells that are altered when invaded by cancer. The major pathologic cell type is adenocarcinoma (more than 95% of cases). • Prostate cancer can be graded. Well-differentiated tumors grow slowly, whereas poorly differentiated tumors grow rapidly and have a poor prognosis. • Metastatic spread can occur by local extension, lymphatic drainage, or hematogenous dissemination. Skeletal metastases from hematogenous spread are the most common sites of distant spread. The lung, liver, brain, and adrenal glands are the most common sites of visceral involvement, but these organs are not usually involved initially.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION • Localized prostate cancer is usually asymptomatic. • Locally invasive prostate cancer is associated with ureteral dysfunction or impingement, such as alterations in micturition (e.g., urinary frequency, hesitancy, dribbling). • Patients with advanced disease commonly present with back pain and stiffness due to osseous metastases. Untreated spinal cord lesions can lead to cord compression. Lower extremity edema can occur as a result of lymphatic obstruction. Anemia and weight loss are nonspecific signs of advanced disease.

SCREENING • Screening for prostate cancer is controversial. The American Cancer Society recommends baseline prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and digital rectal exam (DRE) beginning at age 50 years for men of normal risk. Earlier testing is recommended for men at higher risk for prostate cancer. • DRE is commonly employed for screening of prostate cancer. It has the advantages of specificity, low cost, safety, and ease of performance. DRE has the disadvantages of relative insensitivity and of inter-observer variability. • PSA is a glycoprotein produced and secreted by the epithelial cells of the prostate gland. Acute urinary retention, acute prostatitis, and benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) influence PSA, therefore limiting the usefulness of PSA alone for early detection. PSA is a useful marker for monitoring response to therapy. 713

SECTION 11

Oncologic Disorders

TREATMENT CHEMOPREVENTION • The risk of prostate cancer was reduced 25% in patients taking finasteride for treatment of BPH. • Prostate cancer diagnosed in patients on finasteride is more aggressive, making its use in men without BPH controversial.

GENERAL APPROACH TO TREATMENT • The initial treatment for prostate cancer depends on the disease stage, Gleason score, presence of symptoms, and patient’s life expectancy. The most appropriate therapy for early-stage prostate cancer is unknown. • Expectant management, also known as observation or watchful waiting, involves monitoring the course of the disease and initiating treatment if disease progresses or the patient becomes symptomatic. PSA and DRE are performed every 6 months. • Radical prostatectomy and radiation therapy are generally considered equivalent for localized prostate cancer, and neither has been shown to be superior to observation alone. • Men with disease confined to the prostate (T1 or T2a), no symptoms, Gleason score of 2 to 6, or PSA of less than 10 ng/mL are at low risk for recurrence and have a high 10-year survival rate. If life expectancy is less than 10 years, options are expectant management or radiation therapy. If life expectancy is more than 10 years, options are expectant management, radiation, or radical prostatectomy. • Men with disease involving more than one-half of one lobe or both lobes (T2bc), Gleason score of 7, or PSA of 10 to 20 ng/mL are at intermediate risk for recurrence. If life expectancy is less than 10 years, options are expectant management, radiation therapy, or radical prostatectomy. If life expectancy is more than 10 years, options are prostatectomy or radiation therapy. • Men with disease localized to the periprostatic area (T3), Gleason score of 8 to 10, or PSA of more than 20 ng/mL are at high risk for recurrence and should be treated with androgen ablation for 2 to 3 years combined with radiation therapy. Radical prostatectomy can be considered in patients with low tumor volume. • Men with disease fixed or invading adjacent structures other than the seminal vesicles (T4) are at very high risk for recurrence. Androgen ablation should be initiated at diagnosis instead of waiting for the onset of symptoms. • The major initial treatment modality for advanced prostate cancer is androgen ablation (e.g., orchiectomy or luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone [LHRH] agonists with or without antiandrogens). After disease progression, secondary hormonal manipulations, cytotoxic chemotherapy, and supportive care are used.

SURGERY AND RADIATION THERAPY • Prostatectomy and radiation therapy are potentially curative but are associated with complications that must be weighed against expected 714

benefit. Consequently, many patients postpone therapy until the onset of symptoms. Complications of radical prostatectomy include blood loss, stricture formation, incontinence, lymphocele, fistula formation, anesthetic risk, and impotence. Nerve-sparing techniques facilitate return of sexual potency after prostatectomy. Acute complications of radiation therapy include cystitis, proctitis, hematuria, urinary retention, penoscrotal edema, and impotence. Chronic complications of radiation therapy include proctitis, diarrhea, cystitis, enteritis, impotence, urethral stricture, and incontinence. Bilateral orchiectomy rapidly reduces circulating androgen levels. Many patients are not surgical candidates owing to advanced age or perceived unacceptability. Nonetheless, orchiectomy is the preferred initial treatment for patients with impending spinal cord compression or ureteral obstruction.

HORMONAL THERAPY • The rationale for hormonal therapy is based on the effect of androgens on the growth and differentiation of the normal prostate (Fig. 65-1).

Oncologic Disorders

• The testes and the adrenal glands are the major sources of androgens, specifically dihydrotestosterone (DHT). • LHRH from the hypothalamus stimulates the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary gland. • LH complexes with receptors on the Leydig cell testicular membrane and stimulates the production of testosterone and small amounts of estrogen. • FSH acts on testicular Sertoli cells to promote maturation of LH receptors and produce an androgen-binding protein. • Circulating testosterone and estradiol influence the synthesis of LHRH, LH, and FSH by a negative-feedback loop at the hypothalamic and pituitary level. • Only 2% of total plasma testosterone is present in the active unbound state that penetrates the prostate cell, where it is converted to DHT by 5 αreductase. DHT subsequently binds with a cytoplasmic receptor and is transported to the cell nucleus where transcription and translation of stored genetic material occur. Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone Agonists • LHRH agonists provide response rates of approximately 80%, which is similar to that of orchiectomy, and have the advantage of being reversible. • There are no comparative trials of LHRH agonists, so the choice is usually based on cost (Table 65-1) and on patient and physician preference. Leuprolide acetate is administered daily. Leuprolide depot and goserelin acetate implant can be administered monthly, or every 12 or 16 weeks. • The most common adverse effects of LHRH agonists are disease flare-up during the first week of therapy (e.g., increased bone pain, urinary symptoms), hot flashes, erectile impotence, decreased libido, and injection-site reactions. Antiandrogens • Monotherapy with flutamide, bicalutamide, and nilutamide is no longer recommended due to decreased survival as compared with patients treated with LHRH agonist therapy or orchiectomy. Antiandrogens are indicated for advanced prostate cancer only when combined with an LHRH agonist (flutamide and bicalutamide]) or orchiectomy (nilutamide). In combination, antiandrogens can reduce the LHRH agonist-induced flare. • The adverse effects of antiandrogens are gynecomastia, hot flushes, GI disturbances, liver function test abnormalities, and breast tenderness. GI disturbances consist of diarrhea for flutamide and bicalutamide and nausea or constipation for nilutamide. Flutamide is also associated with methemoglobinemia, whereas nilutamide causes visual disturbances (impaired dark adaptation), alcohol intolerance, and interstitial pneumonitis. Combined Hormonal Blockade • The role of combined hormonal therapy, also referred to as maximal androgen deprivation or total androgen blockade, continues to be evaluated. • Randomized trial results are mixed when candidates for second-line therapy are treated with combinations of antiandrogens plus either LHRH 716

agonists or orchiectomy. The most recent metaanalysis showed only a slight survival benefit at 5 years for maximal androgen blockade with flutamide or nilutamide (27.6%) compared with conventional medical or surgical castration alone (24.7%). • Some investigators consider combined androgen blockade to be the initial hormonal therapy of choice for newly diagnosed patients because the major benefit is seen in patients with minimal disease. Some argue that treatment should not be delayed because combined androgen deprivation trials demonstrate a survival advantage for young patients with good performance status and minimal disease who were initially treated with hormonal therapy. • Until definitive trials are published, it is appropriate to use either LHRH agonist monotherapy or combined androgen blockade as initial therapy for metastatic prostate cancer.

SALVAGE THERAPY • The selection of salvage therapy depends on what was used as initial therapy. Radiotherapy can be used after radical prostatectomy. Androgen ablation can be used after radiation therapy or radical prostatectomy. 717

Oncologic Disorders

• If testosterone levels are not suppressed (i.e., greater than 20 ng/dL) after initial LHRH agonist therapy, an antiandrogen or orchiectomy may be indicated. If testosterone levels are suppressed, the disease is considered androgen independent and should be treated with palliative therapy. • If initial therapy consisted of an LHRH agonist and antiandrogen, then androgen withdrawal should be attempted. Mutations of the androgen receptor may allow antiandrogens to become agonists. Withdrawal produces responses lasting 3 to 14 months in up to 35% of patients. • Androgen synthesis inhibitors provide symptomatic, but brief, relief in approximately 50% of patients. Aminoglutethimide causes adverse effects in 50% of patients, such as lethargy, ataxia, dizziness, and self-limiting rash. The adverse effects of ketoconazole are GI intolerance, transient increases in liver and renal function tests, and hypoadrenalism. • Bisphosphonates such as pamidronate and zoledronic acid may prevent skeletal morbidity, such as pathologic fractures and spinal code compression, when used for hormone-refractory prostate cancer in patients with clinically significant bone loss. Usual dosages are pamidronate, 90 mg every month, and zoledronic acid, 4 mg every 3 to 4 weeks. • After hormonal options are exhausted, palliation can be achieved with strontium-89 or samarium-153 lexidronam for bone-related pain, analgesics, glucocorticoids, local radiotherapy, or chemotherapy.

CHEMOTHERAPY • Docetaxel, 75 mg/m2 every 3 weeks, combined with prednisone, 5 mg twice daily, has been shown to prolong survival in hormone-refractory metastatic prostate cancer. The most common adverse events were nausea, alopecia, and myelosuppression. Docetaxel can also cause fluid retention and peripheral neuropathy. • The combination of estramustine 280 mg by mouth three times daily on days 1 to 5 and docetaxel 60 mg/m2 on day 2 of a 21-day cycle also improves survival in hormone-refractory metastatic prostate cancer. Estramustine causes a decrease in testosterone and a corresponding increase in estrogen, which results in an increase in thromboembolic events, gynecomastia, and decreased libido.

EVALUATION OF THERAPEUTIC OUTCOMES • For definitive, curative therapy, objective parameters to monitor include primary tumor size, involved lymph nodes, and tumor markers such as PSA. PSA level is checked every 6 months for the first 5 years, and then annually. • With metastatic disease, clinical benefit can be documented by evaluating performance status, weight, quality of life, analgesic requirements, and PSA or DRE at 3-month intervals. • Patients should be monitored for treatment-related adverse events, especially events that are amenable to intervention.

Glaucoma

DEFINITION • Glaucomas are ocular disorders characterized by changes in the optic nerve head (optic disk) and by loss of visual sensitivity and field.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY • There are two major types of glaucoma: open-angle glaucoma, which accounts for most cases and is therefore the focus of this chapter, and closed-angle glaucoma. • In open-angle glaucoma, the specific cause of optic neuropathy is unknown. Increased intraocular pressure (IOP) was historically considered to be the sole cause. Additional contributing factors include increased susceptibility of the optic nerve to ischemia, reduced or dysregulated blood flow, excitotoxicity, autoimmune reactions, and other abnormal physiologic processes. • Although IOP is a poor predictor of which patients will have visual field loss, the risk of visual field loss increases with increasing IOP. IOP is not constant; it changes with pulse, blood pressure, forced expiration or coughing, neck compression, and posture. • The balance between the inflow and outflow of aqueous humor determines IOP. Inflow is increased by β-adrenergic agents and decreased by α2-, α-, and β-adrenergic blockers; dopamine blockers; carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs); and adenylate cyclase stimulators. Outflow is increased by cholinergic agents, which contract the ciliary muscle and open the trabecular meshwork, and by prostaglandin analogs and β- and α2-adrenergic agonists, which affect uveoscleral outflow. • Secondary open-angle glaucoma has many causes including exfoliation syndrome, pigmentary glaucoma, systemic diseases, trauma, surgery, lens changes, ocular inflammatory diseases, and drugs. Secondary glaucoma can be classified as pretrabecular (normal meshwork is covered and prevents outflow of aqueous humor), trabecular (meshwork is altered or material accumulates in the intertrabecular spaces), or posttrabecular (episcleral venous blood pressure is increased). • Many drugs can increase IOP (Table 66-1). The potential to induce or worsen glaucoma depends on the type of glaucoma and on whether it is adequately controlled. • Closed-angle glaucoma occurs when there is a physical blockage of the trabecular meshwork, resulting in increased IOP. 719

Central visual acuity is maintained, even in late stages. • In closed-angle glaucoma, patients typically experience intermittent prodromal symptoms (e.g., blurred or hazy vision with halos around lights and occasionally, headache). Acute episodes produce symptoms associated with a cloudy, edematous cornea; ocular pain; nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain; and diaphoresis.

DIAGNOSIS • The diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma is confirmed by the presence of characteristic optic disk changes and visual field loss, with or without increased IOP. Normal tension glaucoma refers to disk changes, visual field loss, and IOP of less than 21 mm Hg. Ocular hypertension refers to IOP of more than 21 mm Hg without disk changes or visual field loss. 720

CHAPTER 66

• For closed-angle glaucoma, the presence of a narrow angle is usually visualized by gonioscopy. IOP is generally markedly elevated (e.g., 40 to 90 mm Hg) when symptoms are present. Additional signs include hyperemic conjunctiva, cloudy cornea, shallow anterior chamber, and occasionally edematous and hyperemic optic disk.

DESIRED OUTCOME • The goal of drug therapy in patients with glaucoma is to preserve visual function by reducing the IOP to a level at which no further optic nerve damage occurs.

TREATMENT OF OCULAR HYPERTENSION AND OPEN-ANGLE GLAUCOMA • Treatment is indicated for ocular hypertension if the patient has a significant risk factor such as IOP greater than 25 mm Hg, vertical cup-disk ratio greater than 0.5, or central corneal thickness less than 555 micrometers. Additional risk factors to be considered include family history of glaucoma, black race, severe myopia, and presence of only one eye. • Treatment is indicated for all patients with elevated IOP and characteristic optic disk changes or visual field defects. • Drug therapy is the most common initial treatment and is initiated in a stepwise manner, starting with a single well tolerated topical agent (Table 66-2). Historically, β-blockers (e.g., timolol) were the treatment of choice and continue to be used if there are no contraindications to potential βblockade caused by systemic absorption. β-Blockers have the advantage of low cost owing to generic formulations. • Newer agents are also suitable for first-line therapy. Prostaglandin analogs (e.g., latanoprost, bimatoprost and travoprost) have the advantage of strong potency, unique mechanism suitable for combination therapy, good safety profile, and once-a-day dosing. Brimonidine has the theoretical advantage of neuroprotection, which has not yet been demonstrated in humans. Topical CAIs are also suitable for first-line therapy. • Pilocarpine and dipivefrin, a prodrug of epinephrine, are used as thirdline therapies because of adverse events or reduced efficacy as compared with newer agents. • Carbachol, topical cholinesterase inhibitors, and oral CAIs (e.g., acetazolamide) are used as last-resort options after failure of less toxic options. • The optimal timing of laser or surgical trabeculectomy is controversial, ranging from initial therapy to after failure of third- or fourth-line drug therapy. Antiproliferative agents such as fluorouracil and mitomycin C are used to modify the healing process and maintain patency.

TREATMENT OF CLOSED-ANGLE GLAUCOMA • Acute closed-angle glaucoma with high IOP requires rapid reduction of IOP. Iridectomy is the definitive treatment, which produces a hole in the 721

iris that permits aqueous flow to move directly from the posterior to the anterior chamber. Drug therapy of an acute attack typically consists of an osmotic agent and secretory inhibitor (e.g., β-blocker, α2 agonist, latanoprost, or CAI), with or without pilocarpine. Osmotic agents are used because they rapidly decrease IOP. Examples include glycerin, 1 to 2 g/kg orally, and mannitol, 1 to 2 g/kg IV. Although traditionally the drug of choice, pilocarpine use is controversial as initial therapy. Once IOP is controlled, pilocarpine should be given every 6 hours until iridectomy is performed. Topical corticosteroids can be used to reduce ocular inflammation and synechiae. Epinephrine should be used with caution because it can precipitate acute closed-angle glaucoma, especially when used with a β-blocker.

EVALUATION OF THERAPEUTIC OUTCOMES • Successful outcomes require identifying an effective, well-tolerated regimen; closely monitoring therapy; and patient adherence. Whenever possible, therapy for open-angle glaucoma should be started as a single agent in one eye to facilitate evaluation of drug efficacy and tolerance. Many drugs or combinations may need to be tried before the optimal regimen is identified. • Monitoring therapy for open-angle glaucoma should be individualized. IOP response is assessed every 4 to 6 weeks initially, every 3 to 4 months after IOPs become acceptable, and more frequently after therapy is changed. The visual field and disk changes are monitored annually, unless glaucoma is unstable or worsening. • Patients should be monitored for tachyphylaxis, especially with β-blockers or apraclonidine. Treatment can be temporarily discontinued to monitor its benefit. • There is no specific target IOP because the correlation between IOP and optic nerve damage is poor. Typically, a 25% to 30% reduction is desired. • The target IOP also depends on disease severity and is generally less than 21 mm Hg for early visual field loss or optic disk changes, with progressively lower targets for greater damage. Targets as low as less than 10 mm Hg are desired for very advanced disease, continued damage at higher IOPs, normal tension glaucoma, and pretreatment pressures in the low- to mid-teens. • Using more than one drop per dose increases the risk of adverse events and cost, but not efficacy. • Patients should be educated about possible adverse effects and methods for preventing them. • Patients should be taught how to administer topical therapy. With a forefinger pulling down the lower eyelid to form a pocket, the patient should place the dropper over the eye, look at the tip of the bottle, and then look up and place a single drop in the eye. To maximize topical activity and minimize systemic absorption, the patient should close the lid for 1 to 3 minutes after instillation and place the index finger over the nasolacrimal drainage system in the inner corner of the eye. 724

CHAPTER 66

• If more than one topical drug is required, instillation should be separated by 5 to 10 minutes to provide optimal ocular contact. • Adherence to drug therapy should be monitored because it is commonly inadequate and a cause of therapy failure.

Alzheimer’s Disease

DEFINITION • Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive dementia affecting cognition, behavior, and functional status with no known cause or cure. Patients eventually lose cognitive, analytical, and physical functioning, and the disease is ultimately fatal.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY • The signature findings are intracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), extracellular neuritic plaques, degeneration of neurons and synapses, and cortical atrophy. • Mechanisms proposed for these changes are: ✓ β-Amyloid protein aggregation, leading to formation of plaques ✓ Hyperphosphorylation of tau protein, leading to intracellular NFT development and collapse of microtubules ✓ Inflammatory processes—levels of multiple cytokines and chemokines are elevated in AD brains ✓ Neurovasculature dysfunction ✓ Oxidative stress ✓ Mitochondrial dysfunction • Neuritic plaques are lesions found in brain and cerebral vasculature. • Whether genetic variations promote a primary β-amyloidosis in the majority of AD patients is unresolved. • Density of NFTs correlates with severity of dementia. • While there is a variety of neurotransmitter deficits, loss of cholinergic activity is most prominent and correlates with AD severity. • It is clear that replacement of acetylcholine activity cannot compensate for all the changes that take place in AD. • Deficits that exist in other pathways are: ✓ Serotonergic neurons of the raphe nuclei and noradrenergic cells of the locus ceruleus are lost ✓ Monoamine oxidase type B activity is increased ✓ Glutamate pathways of the cortex and limbic structures are abnormal • Excitatory neurotransmitters, including glutamate, have been implicated as potential neurotoxins in AD. • Risk factors for AD are hypertension, elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and diabetes.

May get lost while driving. Begins to withdraw from difficult tasks and to give up hobbies. May deny memory problems. Patient requires assistance with activities of daily living. Frequently disoriented with regard to time (date, year, season). Recall for recent events is severely impaired. May forget some details of past life and names of family and friends. Functioning may fluctuate from day to day. Patient generally denies problems. May become suspicious or tearful. Loses ability to drive safely. Agitation, paranoia, and delusions are common. Patient loses ability to speak, walk, and feed self. Incontinent of urine and feces. Requires care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION • The onset of AD is almost imperceptible, but deficits progress over time. Cognitive decline is gradual, and behavioral disturbances may be present in moderate stages. Table 67-1 shows the stages of AD.

SYMPTOMS • Table 67-2 shows the clinical presentation of AD and recommended laboratory and diagnostic tests.

DIAGNOSIS • The definitive diagnosis of AD is made by examining brain tissue. Useful diagnostic criteria and guidelines are provided by: ✓ The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th ed., text revision ✓ The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality ✓ The American Academy of Neurology ✓ The National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke ✓ Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders Association • Patients with suspected AD should have a history and physical examination with appropriate laboratory and other diagnostic tests, neurologic and psychiatric examinations, standardized rating assessments, functional evaluation, and a caregiver interview. • Information about prescription drug use; alcohol or other substance use; family medical history; and history of trauma, depression, or head injury should be obtained. It is important to rule out medication use as a contributor or cause of symptoms (e.g., anticholinergics, sedatives, hypnotics, opioids, antipsychotics, and anticonvulsants) as contributors to dementia symptoms. Other medications may contribute to delirium, e.g., 728

CHAPTER 67

Clinical Presentation of Alzheimer’s Disease

General The patient may have vague memory complaints initially, or the patient’s significant other may report that the patient is “forgetful.” Cognitive decline is gradual over the course of illness. Behavioral disturbances may be present in moderate stages. Loss of daily function is common in advanced stages. Symptoms Cognitive Memory loss (poor recall and losing items) Aphasia (circumlocution and anomia) Apraxia Agnosia Disorientation (impaired perception of time and unable to recognize familiar people) Impaired executive function Noncognitive Depression, psychotic symptoms (hallucinations and delusions) Behavioral disturbances (physical and verbal aggression, motor hyperactivity, uncooperativeness, wandering, repetitive mannerisms and activities, and combativeness) Functional Inability to care for self (dressing, bathing, toileting, and eating) Laboratory tests Rule out vitamin B12 and folate deficiency Rule out hypothyroidism with thyroid function tests Blood cell counts, serum electrolytes, liver function tests Other diagnostic tests CT or MRI scans may aid diagnosis CT, computed tomography; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging.

digoxin, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, histamine2 receptor antagonists, amiodarone, antihypertensives, and corticosteroids. • The Folstein Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) can help to establish a history of deficits in two or more areas of cognition and establish a baseline against which to evaluate change in severity. The average expected decline in an untreated patient is 2 to 4 points per year.

DESIRED OUTCOME • The primary goal of treatment in AD is to maintain patient functioning as long as possible. Secondary goals are to treat the psychiatric and behavioral sequelae.

TREATMENT NONPHARMACOLOGIC THERAPY • Sleep disturbances, wandering, urinary incontinence, agitation, and aggression should be managed with behavioral interventions whenever possible. • On initial diagnosis, the patient and caregiver should be educated on the course of illness, available treatments, legal decisions, changes in lifestyle that will be necessary with disease progression, and other quality of life issues. 729

Psychiatric Disorders Treatment Options for Cognitive Symptoms in Alzheimer’s Disease

• In mild–moderate disease, consider therapy with a cholinesterase inhibitor. • Donepezil, or • Rivastigmine, or • Galantamine • Titrate to recommended maintenance dose as tolerated. • In moderate to severe disease, consider adding antiglutamatergic therapy. • Memantine • Titrate to recommended maintenance dose as tolerated. • Alternatively, consider memantine or cholinesterase inhibitor therapy alone. • Behavioral symptoms may require additional pharmacologic approaches. Data from Desai AK, Grossberg GT. Diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Neurology 2005;64(Suppl 3):S34–S39; Lyketsos CG, Colenda CC, Beck C, et al.

• The Alzheimer’s Association recommends staying physically, mentally, and socially active, adopting a low-fat/low-cholesterol diet rich in dark vegetables and fruit, and managing body weight.

PHARMACOTHERAPY OF COGNITIVE SYMPTOMS • Managing blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar may reduce the risk of developing AD and may prevent the worsening of dementia in patients with AD. • Current pharmacotherapeutic interventions are primarily symptomatic attempts to improve or maintain cognition. Table 67-3 may be used as an algorithm for managing cognitive symptoms in AD. • Successful treatment reflects a decline of less than 2 points each year on the MMSE score. Cholinesterase Inhibitors • Table 67-4 summarizes the clinical pharmacology of the cholinesterase inhibitors. • No direct comparative trials have assessed the effectiveness of one agent over another. Donepezil, rivastigmine, and galantamine are indicated in mild to moderate AD, while donepezil is also indicated in severe AD. • If the decline in MMSE score is more than 2 to 4 points after treatment for 1 year with the initial agent, it is reasonable to change to a different cholinesterase inhibitor. Otherwise, treatment should be continued with the initial medication throughout the course of the illness. • The most frequent adverse effects are mild to moderate GI symptoms (nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea), urinary incontinence, dizziness, headache, syncope, bradycardia, muscle weakness, salivation, and sweating. Abrupt discontinuation can cause worsening of cognition and behavior in some patients. • Donepezil (Aricept) is a piperidine derivative with specificity for inhibition of acetylcholinesterase rather than butyrylcholinesterase. 730

• Rivastigmine has central activity at acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase sites, but low activity at these sites in the periphery. • Galantamine is a cholinesterase inhibitor that also has activity as a nicotinic receptor agonist. • Tacrine was the first cholinesterase inhibitor approved for the treatment of AD, but it has been replaced by safer drugs which are better tolerated. Other Drugs • Memantine (Namenda) blocks glutamatergic neurotransmission by antagonizing N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors, which may prevent excitotoxic reactions. It is used as monotherapy, and data suggest that when it is combined with a cholinesterase inhibitor, there is improvement in cognition and activities of daily living. ✓ It is indicated for treatment of moderate to severe AD. ✓ It is not metabolized by the liver, but is primarily excreted unchanged in the urine (half-life of elimination = 60 to 80 hours). ✓ It is usually well tolerated, and side effects include constipation, confusion, dizziness, hallucinations, headache, cough, and hypertension. ✓ It is initiated at 5 mg/day and increased weekly by 5 mg/day to the effective dose of 10 mg twice daily. Dosing must be adjusted in patients with renal impairment. • Recent trials do not support the use of estrogen to prevent or treat cognitive decline. • Evidence related to the role of vitamin E in preventing AD is mixed, and conclusions cannot be drawn at this time. 731

SECTION 13

Psychiatric Disorders

• Because of a significant incidence of side effects and a lack of compelling evidence, Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs are not recommended for treatment or prevention of AD. • There is interest in the use of lipid-lowering agents, especially the 3hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A–reductase inhibitors, to prevent AD. Pravastatin and lovastatin, but not simvastatin, were associated with a lower prevalence of AD. Further study is needed before these agents can be recommended for this use. • A metaanalysis indicated that EGb 761 (an extract of ginkgo biloba) may have some therapeutic effect at doses of 120 to 240 mg of the standard leaf extract twice daily. Because of limited efficacy data, the potential for adverse effects (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, weakness, and hemorrhage), and the poor standardization of herbal products, it is recommended that ginkgo biloba be used only with caution. ✓ Ginkgo biloba should not be used in individuals taking anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs, and should be use cautiously in those taking nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs. • Although initial studies suggest potential effectiveness of huperzine A, it has not been adequately evaluated for treatment of AD.

PHARMACOTHERAPY OF NONCOGNITIVE SYMPTOMS • Pharmacotherapy is aimed at treating psychotic symptoms, inappropriate or disruptive behavior, and depression. Medications and recommended doses for noncognitive symptoms are shown in Table 67-5. • General guidelines are as follows: (1) use reduced doses, (2) monitor closely, (3) titrate dosage slowly, (4) document carefully, and (5) periodically attempt to reduce medication in minimally symptomatic patients. • Psychotropic medications with anticholinergic effects should be avoided because they may worsen cognition. Cholinesterase Inhibitors and Memantine • Cholinesterase inhibitors and memantine are first-line therapy in early management of behavioral symptoms. Modest improvement may be achieved. Antipsychotics • Antipsychotic medications have traditionally been used to treat disruptive behaviors and psychosis in AD patients. • A metaanalysis showed that 17% to 18% of dementia patients showed a modest treatment response to atypical antipsychotics. Adverse events included somnolence, extrapyramidal symptoms, abnormal gait, worsening cognition, cerebrovascular events, and increased risk of death. • Typical antipsychotics may also be associated with a small increased risk of death, as well as more severe extrapyramidal effects and hypotension. Antidepressants • Depression and dementia have many symptoms in common, and the diagnosis of depression can be difficult, especially later in the course of AD. 732

• Treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor is usually initiated in depressed patients with AD. Paroxetine causes more anticholinergic side effects than the other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Venlafaxine may also be used. • Although probably equally effective, the tricyclic antidepressants are usually avoided because of anticholinergic side effects. Miscellaneous Therapies • Carbamazepine, mean dose 300 mg/day, may improve psychosis and behavioral disturbance in AD patients. • Oxazepam and other benzodiazepines have been used to treat anxiety, agitation, and aggression, but they generally show inferior efficacy compared with antipsychotics. They can also worsen cognition, cause disinhibition, and increase the risk of falls.

EVALUATION OF THERAPEUTIC OUTCOMES • Baseline assessment should define therapeutic goals and document cognitive status, physical status, functional performance, mood, thought processes, and behavior. Both the patient and caregiver should be interviewed. • Because target symptoms of psychiatric disorders may respond differently in demented patients, a detailed list of symptoms to be treated should be documented to aid in monitoring. 733

Psychiatric Disorders

• Objective assessments, such as the MMSE for cognition and the Functional Activities Questionnaire for activities of daily living, should be used to quantify changes in symptoms and functioning. • The patient should be observed carefully for potential side effects of drug therapy. The specific side effects to be monitored and the method and frequency of monitoring should be documented. • Assessments for drug effectiveness, side effects, compliance, need for dosage adjustment, or change in treatment should occur at least monthly. • A treatment period of 6 months to 1 year may be required to determine whether therapy is beneficial.

Anxiety Disorders

DEFINITION • Anxiety disorders include a constellation of disorders in which anxiety and associated symptoms are irrational or experienced at a level of severity that impairs functioning. The characteristic features are anxiety and avoidance.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY • Noradrenergic model. This model suggests that the autonomic nervous system of anxious patients is hypersensitive and overreacts to various stimuli. The locus ceruleus may have a role in regulating anxiety, as it activates norepinephrine release and stimulates the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Chronic noradrenergic overactivity down regulates α2-adrenoreceptors in patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Patients with social anxiety disorder (SAD) appear to have a hyperresponsive adrenocortical response to psychological stress. • γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor model. GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS. Many antianxiety drugs target the GABAA receptor. Benzodiazepines (BZs) enhance the inhibitory effects of GABA, which has a strong regulatory or inhibitory effect on serotonin (5-HT), norepinephrine, and dopamine systems. Anxiety symptoms may be linked to underactivity of GABA systems or downregulated central BZ receptors. In patients with GAD, BZ binding in the left temporal lobe is reduced. Abnormal sensitivity to antagonism of the BZ binding site and decreased binding was demonstrated in panic disorder. Growth hormone response to baclofen in patients with generalized SAD suggests an abnormality of central GABAB receptor function. Abnormalities of GABA inhibition may lead to increased response to stress in PTSD patients. • 5-HT model. GAD symptoms may reflect excessive 5-HT transmission or overactivity of the stimulatory 5-HT pathways. Patients with SAD have greater prolactin response to buspirone challenge, indicating an enhanced central serotonergic response. The role of 5-HT in panic disorder is unclear, but it may have a role in development of anticipatory anxiety. Preliminary data suggest that the 5-HT and 5-HT2 antagonist metachlorophenylpiperazine causes increased anxiety in PTSD patients. • Patients with PTSD have a hypersecretion of corticotropin-releasing factor but demonstrate subnormal levels of cortisol at the time of trauma and chronically. Dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis may be a risk factor for eventual development of PTSD. • Functional neuroimaging studies suggest that frontal and occipital brain areas are integral to the anxiety response. Patients with panic disorder may have abnormal activation of the parahippocampal region and prefrontal cortex at rest. Panic anxiety is associated with activation of brain stem and basal ganglia regions. GAD patients have an abnormal increase in cortical 735

Psychiatric Disorders

activity and a decrease in basal ganglia activity. In patients with SAD, there may be abnormalities in the amygdala, hippocampus, and various cortical regions. Lower hippocampal volumes in patients with PTSD may be a precursor for subsequent development of PTSD.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION GENERALIZED ANXIETY DISORDER • The clinical presentation of GAD is shown in Table 68-1. The diagnostic criteria require persistent symptoms most days for at least 6 months. The anxiety or worry must be about a number of matters and is accompanied by at least three psychological or physiologic symptoms. The illness has a gradual onset at an average age of 21 years. The course of illness is chronic, with multiple spontaneous exacerbations and remissions. There is a high percentage of relapse and a low rate of recovery.

PANIC DISORDER • Symptoms usually begin as a series of unexpected panic attacks. These are followed by at least 1 month of persistent concern about having another panic attack. • Symptoms of a panic attack are shown in Table 68-2. During an attack, there must be at least four physical symptoms in addition to psychological symptoms. Symptoms reach a peak within 10 minutes and usually last no more than 20 or 30 minutes. • Many patients eventually develop agoraphobia, which is avoidance of specific situations (e.g., crowded places, bridges) where they fear a panic attack might occur. Patients may become homebound.

Panic disorder. N Engl J Med 2006;354:2360–2367.

SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER • The essential feature of SAD is an intense, irrational, and persistent fear of being negatively evaluated in a social or performance situation. Exposure to the feared situation usually provokes a panic attack. Symptoms of SAD are shown in Table 68-3. The fear and avoidance of the situation must interfere with daily routine or social/occupational functioning. It is a chronic disorder with a mean age of onset in the teens. • In the generalized subtype, fear is of many social situations where embarrassment may occur. In the discrete or specific subtype, fear is limited to one or two situations (e.g., performing, public speaking).

POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER • In PTSD, exposure to a traumatic event causes immediate intense fear, helplessness, or horror. • The clinical presentation of PTSD is shown in Table 68-4. Patients must have at least one reexperiencing symptom, three signs or symptoms of persistent avoidance of stimuli, and at least two symptoms of increased arousal. Symptoms from each category must be present longer than 1 month and cause significant distress or impairment. PTSD can occur at any age, and the course is variable. • One-third of patients with PTSD have a poor prognosis, and about 80% have a concurrent depression or anxiety disorder. Over half of men with 737

PTSD have comorbid alcohol abuse or dependence, and about 20% of patients attempt suicide.

DIAGNOSIS • Evaluation of the anxious patient requires a complete physical and mental status examination; appropriate laboratory tests; and a medical, psychiatric, and drug history. • Anxiety symptoms may be associated with medical illnesses (Table 68-5) or drug therapy (Table 68-6). About 50% of patients with GAD have irritable bowel syndrome. • Anxiety symptoms may be present in several major psychiatric illnesses (e.g., mood disorders, schizophrenia, organic mental syndromes, and substance withdrawal).

DESIRED OUTCOME • The desired outcomes of treatment of GAD are to reduce severity, duration, and frequency of the symptoms and to improve overall functioning. The long-term goal is minimal or no anxiety or depressive symptoms, no functional impairment, and improved quality of life. • The goals of therapy of panic disorder include a complete resolution of panic attacks, marked reduction in anticipatory anxiety and phobic fears, 738

elimination of phobic avoidance, and resumption of normal activities. After treatment, 40% to 50% of patients continue to have occasional panic attacks and phobic avoidance. • The goals of treatment of SAD are to reduce the physiologic symptoms and phobic avoidance, increase participation in desired social activities, and improve quality of life. • The goals of therapy of PTSD are to decrease core symptoms, disability, and comorbidity and improve quality of life and resilience to stress.

TREATMENT GENERALIZED ANXIETY DISORDER • For patients with GAD, nonpharmacologic modalities include short-term counseling, stress management, cognitive therapy, meditation, supportive therapy, and exercise. GAD patients should be educated to avoid caffeine, stimulants, excessive alcohol, and diet pills. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the most effective psychological therapy for GAD patients, and most patients with GAD should have psychological therapy, alone or in combination with antianxiety drugs. • An algorithm for the pharmacologic management of GAD is shown in Fig. 68-1. • Drug choices for anxiety disorders are shown in Table 68-7, and non-BZ antianxiety agents for GAD are shown in Table 68-8. • Kava kava is not recommended as an anxiolytic because of reports of lack of efficacy and hepatotoxicity. • Hydroxyzine was effective in 88% of patients for a duration of 3 months. • Pregabalin produced anxiolytic effects similar to lorazepam, alprazolam, and venlafaxine in acute trials. Sedation and dizziness were the most common adverse effects, and the dose should be tapered over 1 week upon discontinuation. 740

should consult the FDA-approved labeling or the FDA website for additional information (see Chap. 70). Antidepressants • Antidepressants are efficacious for acute and long-term management of GAD. They are considered the treatment of choice for long-term management of chronic anxiety, especially in the presence of depressive symptoms. Antianxiety response requires 2 to 4 weeks. • Venlafaxine extended release, duloxetine, paroxetine, and escitalopram are FDA approved for treatment of GAD. Sertraline is also effective. Acute response and remission rates are approximately 65% and 30%, respectively. Imipramine may be used when patients fail to respond to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). In one trial, diazepam, trazodone, and imipramine had greater anxiolytic activity than placebo. • Common side effects of the SSRIs are somnolence, nausea, ejaculation disorders, decreased libido, dry mouth, insomnia, and fatigue. Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) commonly cause sedation, orthostatic hypotension, anticholinergic effects, and weight gain. TCAs are very toxic on overdose. Evaluation of Therapeutic Outcomes • Initially, anxious patients should be monitored once to twice weekly for reduction in anxiety symptoms, improvement in functioning, and side effects. The Visual Analog Scale may assist in the evaluation of drug response. Benzodiazepine Therapy • The BZs are the most frequently prescribed drugs for the treatment of acute anxiety (Table 68-9). All BZs are equally effective anxiolytics, and most of the improvement occurs in the first 2 weeks of therapy. They are considered to be more effective for somatic and autonomic symptoms of GAD, while antidepressants are considered more effective for the psychic symptoms (e.g., apprehension and worry).

• It is theorized that BZs ameliorate anxiety through potentiation of GABA activity. • The dose must be individualized. Some patients require longer treatment. • The elderly have an enhanced sensitivity to BZs and may experience falls when on BZ therapy. Pharmacokinetics • BZ pharmacokinetic properties are shown in Table 68-10. • Diazepam and clorazepate have high lipophilicity and are rapidly absorbed and distributed into the CNS. They have a shorter duration of effect after a single dose than would be predicted on the basis of half-life, as they are rapidly distributed to the periphery. • Lorazepam and oxazepam are less lipophilic and have a slower onset but a longer duration of action. They are not recommended for immediate relief of anxiety. • IM diazepam and chlordiazepoxide should be avoided because of variability in rate and extent of absorption. IM lorazepam provides rapid and complete absorption. • Clorazepate, a prodrug, is converted to desmethyldiazepam in the stomach through a pH-dependent process that may be impaired by concurrent antacid use. Several other BZs are also converted to desmethyldiazepam, which has a long half-life and can accumulate, especially in the elderly and those with impaired oxidation. • Intermediate- or short-acting BZs are preferred for chronic use in the elderly and those with liver disorders because of minimal accumulation and achievement of steady state within 1 to 3 days. Adverse Events • The most common side effect of BZs is CNS depression. Tolerance usually develops to this effect. Other side effects are disorientation, psychomotor impairment, confusion, aggression, excitement, and anterograde amnesia. TABLE 68-10 Pharmacokinetics of Benzodiazepine Antianxiety Agents

CHAPTER 68

Abuse, Dependence, Withdrawal, and Tolerance • Those with a history of drug abuse are at the greatest risk for becoming BZ abusers. • BZ dependence is defined by the appearance of a predictable withdrawal syndrome (i.e., anxiety, insomnia, agitation, muscle tension, irritability, nausea, malaise, diaphoresis, nightmares, depression, hyperreflexia, tinnitus, delusions, hallucinations, and seizures) upon abrupt discontinuation. Benzodiazepine Discontinuation • After BZs are abruptly discontinued, three events can occur: ✓ Rebound symptoms are an immediate, but transient, return of original symptoms with an increased intensity compared with baseline. ✓ Recurrence or relapse is the return of original symptoms at the same intensity as before treatment. ✓ Withdrawal is the emergence of new symptoms and a worsening of preexisting symptoms. • The onset of withdrawal symptoms is within 24 to 48 hours after discontinuation of short elimination half-life BZs and 3 to 8 days after discontinuation of long elimination half-life drugs. • Discontinuation strategies include the following: ✓ A 25% per week reduction in dosage until 50% of the dose is reached, then dosage reduction by one-eighth every 4 to 7 days. If therapy exceeds 8 weeks, a taper over 2 to 3 weeks is recommended, but if duration of treatment is 6 months, a taper over 4 to 8 weeks should ensue. Longer durations of treatment may require a 2- to 4-month taper. ✓ A BZ with a long elimination half-life (t1/2) (e.g., diazepam, clonazepam) may be substituted for a drug with a short t1/2 (e.g., lorazepam, oxazepam, alprazolam). The substituted drug should be given for several weeks before gradual tapering begins. ✓ Adjunctive use of imipramine, valproic acid, or buspirone can help to reduce withdrawal symptoms during the BZ taper. Drug Interactions • Drug interactions with the BZs are generally pharmacodynamic or pharmacokinetic (Table 68-11). The combination of BZs with alcohol or other CNS depressants may be fatal. • Alprazolam dose should be reduced by 50% if nefazodone (Serzone) or fluvoxamine is added. Dosing and Administration • Initial doses should be low, and dosage adjustments can be made weekly (see Table 68-9). • Treatment of acute anxiety generally should not exceed 4 weeks. BZs can be given as needed, and if several acute courses are necessary, a BZ-free period of 2 to 4 weeks should be implemented between courses. Persistent symptoms should be managed with antidepressants. • BZs with a long t1/2 may be dosed once daily at bedtime and may provide nighttime hypnotic and anxiolytic effects the next day. 745

• In the elderly, doses should be low, and short-elimination half-life agents prescribed. Buspirone Therapy • Buspirone is a 5-HT1A partial agonist that lacks anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant, sedative-hypnotic, motor impairment, and dependence-producing properties. • It is considered a second-line agent for GAD because of inconsistent reports of efficacy, delayed onset of effect, and lack of efficacy for comorbid depressive and anxiety disorders (e.g., panic disorder or SAD). It is the agent of choice in patients who fail other anxiolytic therapies or in patients with a history of alcohol or substance abuse. It is not useful for situations requiring rapid antianxiety effects or as-needed therapy. • It has a mean t1/2 of 2.5 hours, and it is dosed two to three times daily. • Side effects include dizziness, nausea, and headaches. Drug Interactions • Buspirone may increase haloperidol levels and elevate blood pressure in patients taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). • Verapamil, itraconazole, and fluvoxamine can increase buspirone levels, and rifampin reduces buspirone blood levels by 10-fold. Dosing and Administration • Buspirone doses can be titrated in increments of 5 mg/day every 2 or 3 days as needed. 746

• The onset of anxiolytic effects requires 2 weeks or more; maximum benefit may require 4 to 6 weeks. • When switching from a BZ to buspirone, the BZ should be tapered slowly.

PANIC DISORDER General Therapeutic Principles • Antipanic drugs are shown in Table 68-12. An algorithm for drug therapy of panic disorder is shown in Fig. 68-2. • A metaanalysis showed that SSRIs, TCAs, and CBT are similarly effective. Alprazolam, clonazepam, sertraline, paroxetine, and venlafaxine are FDA approved for this indication. • SSRIs are first-line agents, but BZs are the most commonly used drugs for panic disorder. • Most patients without agoraphobia improve with pharmacotherapy alone, but if agoraphobia is present, CBT typically is initiated concurrently. • Patients treated with CBT are less likely to relapse than those treated with imipramine alone. For patients who cannot or will not take medications, 747

CBT alone is indicated, as it is associated with improvement in 80% to 90% of patients short-term and 75% of patients at 6-month follow-up. • Patients must be educated to avoid caffeine, drugs of abuse, and stimulants. • Antidepressants, especially the SSRIs, are preferred in elderly patients and youth. The BZs are second line in these patients because of potential problems with disinhibition. Antidepressants • Stimulatory side effects (e.g., anxiety, insomnia, jitteriness, irritability) can occur in TCA- and SSRI-treated patients. This may affect compliance and hinder dose increases. Low initial doses and gradual dose titration may eliminate these effects (see Table 68-12). • Imipramine blocks panic attacks within 4 weeks, but maximal improvement, including reduced anticipatory anxiety and antiphobic response, requires 8 to 12 weeks. • About 25% of panic patients discontinue TCAs because of side effects. • All SSRIs eliminate panic attacks in 60% to 80% of patients. The antipanic effect requires 4 weeks, and some patients do not respond until 8 to 12 weeks. • Low initial doses of SSRIs and gradual titration to the antipanic dose are required to avoid stimulatory side effects. • MAOIs are reserved for the most difficult or refractory panic disorder patients. Side effects and dietary and drug restrictions affect patient acceptance (see Chap. 70 for food and drug restrictions). Fluoxetine must be stopped 5 weeks before phenelzine (or another MAOI) is started. Other antidepressants should be stopped 2 weeks before phenelzine is started. • Approximately 54% to 60% of patients became panic-free on venlafaxineextended release 75 mg or 150 mg. Benzodiazepines • BZs are second-line agents except when rapid response is essential. They should not be used as monotherapy in panic disorder patients with a history of depression or alcohol or drug abuse. BZs are often used concomitantly with antidepressants in the first weeks to offset the delay in onset of antipanic effects. • About 60% to 80% of panic patients respond to BZs, but relapse rates of 50% or higher are common despite slow drug tapering. • Alprazolam and clonazepam are the most frequently used of the BZs and are well accepted by patients. Therapeutic response typically occurs in 1 to 2 weeks. With alprazolam, the duration of action may be as little as 4 to 6 hours with breakthrough symptoms between dosing. The use of extendedrelease alprazolam or clonazepam avoids this problem. Dosing and Administration • The starting dose of clonazepam is 0.25 mg twice daily, with a dose increase to 1 mg by the third day. Increases by 0.25 to 0.5 mg every 3 days to 4 mg/day can be made if needed. • The starting dose of alprazolam is 0.25 to 0.5 mg three times daily (or 0.5 mg once daily of alprazolam extended release), slowly increasing over several weeks to an ideal dose. Most patients require 3 to 6 mg/day. 749

• Usually patients are treated for 12 to 24 months before discontinuation (over 4 to 6 months) is attempted. Many patients require long-term therapy. Successful maintenance with single weekly doses of fluoxetine has been described. Evaluation of Therapeutic Outcomes • Patients with panic disorder should be seen every 2 weeks during the first few weeks to adjust medication doses based on symptom improvement and to monitor side effects. Once stabilized, they can be seen every 2 months. The Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (score less than or equal to 7 to 10) can be used to measure anxiety, and the Sheehan Disability Scale (with a goal of less than or equal to 1 on each item) can be used to measure for disability. During drug discontinuation, the frequency of appointments should be increased.

SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER • SAD patients often respond more slowly and less completely than patients with other anxiety disorders. • After improvement, at least 1 year of maintenance treatment is recommended to maintain improvement and decrease the rate of relapse. Longterm treatment may be needed for patients with unresolved symptoms, comorbidity, an early onset of disease, or a prior history of relapse. • CBT (exposure therapy, cognitive restructuring, relaxation training, and social skills training) and pharmacotherapy are considered equally effective in SAD, but CBT can lead to a greater likelihood of maintaining response after treatment termination. Even after response, most patients continue to experience more than minimal residual symptoms. • CBT and social skills training are effective in children with SAD. Evidence supports the efficacy of SSRIs and serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors in children 6 to 17 years of age. Individuals up to 24 years of age should be closely monitored for increased risk of suicidality. • Drugs used in treatment of SAD are shown in Table 68-13, and an algorithm for treatment of SAD is shown in Fig. 68-3. • Response rates of SSRIs in SAD ranged from 50% to 80% after 8 to 12 weeks of treatment. Paroxetine, sertraline, and venlafaxine extended release are approved for treatment of generalized SAD and are first-line agents. • With SSRI treatment, the onset of effect is delayed 4 to 8 weeks, and maximum benefit is often not observed until 12 weeks or longer. • The TCAs are not effective for SAD. • Limited data suggest that citalopram is also effective for SAD, but that fluoxetine is not effective. • SSRIs are initiated at doses similar to those used for depression (see Table 68-13). If there is comorbid panic disorder, the SSRI dose should be started at one-fourth to one-half the usual starting dose of antidepressants. The dose should be tapered slowly during discontinuation to decrease the risk of relapse. • Some patients unresponsive to SSRIs have improved with venlafaxine extended release. Response has been reported by week 3. 750

• BZs should be reserved for patients at low risk of substance abuse, those who require rapid relief, or those who have not responded to other therapies. • Clonazepam is the most extensively studied BZ for treatment of generalized SAD. It improved fear and phobic avoidance, interpersonal sensitivity, fears of negative evaluation, and disability measures. Adverse effects include sexual dysfunction, unsteadiness, dizziness, and poor concentration. Clonazepam should be tapered at a rate not to exceed 0.25 mg every 2 weeks. • Gabapentin was effective for SAD, and onset of effect was 2 to 4 weeks. • β-Blockers blunt the peripheral autonomic symptoms of arousal (e.g., rapid heart rate, sweating, blushing, and tremor) and are often used to decrease anxiety in performance-related situations. For specific SAD, 10 to 80 mg of propranolol or 25 to 100 mg of atenolol can be taken 1 hour before the performance. A test dose should be taken at home on a day before the performance to be sure adverse effects will not be problematic. • Incomplete response to a first-line agent may benefit from augmentation with buspirone or clonazepam. 751

CHAPTER 68

• Phenelzine, an MAOI, is effective, but is reserved for treatment-resistant patients because of dietary restrictions, potential drug interactions, and adverse effects. • Patients with SAD should be monitored for symptom response, adverse effects, and overall functionality and quality of life. Patients should be seen weekly during dosage titration and monthly once stabilized. Patients should be asked to keep a diary to record symptoms and their severity. The clinicianrelated Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale and the patient-rated Social Phobia Inventory can be used to monitor severity of symptoms and symptom change.

POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER • Immediately after the trauma, patients should receive treatment individualized to their presenting symptoms (e.g., non-BZ hypnotic, short courses of CBT). Brief courses of CBT in close proximity to the trauma resulted in lower rates of PTSD. • If symptoms (e.g., hyperarousal, avoidance, dissociation, insomnia, depression) persist for 3 to 4 weeks and there is social or occupational impairment, patients should receive pharmacotherapy or psychotherapy, or both. • Psychotherapies for PTSD include anxiety management (e.g., stress-inoculation training, relaxation training, biofeedback, distraction techniques), CBT, group therapy, hypnosis, psychodynamic therapies, and psychoeducation. Psychotherapy may be used in patients with mild symptoms, those who prefer not to use medications, or in conjunction with drugs in those with severe symptoms to improve response. • Table 68-14 shows antidepressants used in the treatment of PTSD, and Fig. 68-4 shows an algorithm for the pharmacotherapy of PTSD.

• The SSRIs are first-line pharmacotherapy for PTSD. Venlafaxine, the TCAs, and MAOIs may also be effective, but they have less favorable sideeffect profiles. • Sertraline and paroxetine are approved for acute treatment of PTSD, and sertraline is approved for long-term management of PTSD. • Antiadrenergics and atypical antipsychotics can be used as augmenting agents. • The SSRIs are believed to be more effective for numbing symptoms than other drugs. About 60% of sertraline-treated patients showed improvement in arousal and avoidance/numbing symptoms, but not reexperiencing symptoms. Similar numbers of patients have been shown to improve on paroxetine. Fluoxetine was effective in a placebo-controlled trial, and fluvoxamine was effective in an open trial. • Amitriptyline and imipramine, and the MAOI phenelzine, can be considered second- or third-line drugs for PTSD after SSRIs have failed. Mirtazapine and venlafaxine may also be effective. 754

CHAPTER 68

• If there is no improvement in the acute stress response 3 to 4 weeks post trauma, SSRIs should be started in a low dose with slow titration upward toward antidepressant doses. Eight to 12 weeks is an adequate duration of treatment to determine response. • Responders to drug therapy should continue treatment for at least 12 months. When discontinued, drug therapy should be tapered slowly over a period of 1 month or more to reduce the likelihood of relapse. • Antiadrenergic drugs (prazosin) can be useful in some patients with PTSD, and antipsychotics (risperidone, quetiapine, and olanzapine) may be used as augmenting agents in partial responders. • Patients should be seen weekly for the first month, then biweekly through the second month. During months 3 to 6, patients can be seen monthly, then every 1 to 2 months from months 6 to 12. Responders after 1 year of pharmacotherapy can be seen every 3 months. Patients should be monitored for symptom response, side effects, and treatment adherence. • Remission can be monitored with the Treatment Outcome PTSD Scale (score less than or equal to 5) and the Sheehan Disability Scale (score less than or equal to 1 on each item).

CHAP TER

Bipolar Disorder

DEFINITION • Bipolar disorder, previously known as manic-depressive illness, is a cyclical, lifelong disorder with recurrent extreme fluctuations in mood, energy, and behavior. Diagnosis requires the occurrence, during the course of the illness, of a manic, hypomanic, or mixed episode (not caused by any other medical condition, substance, or psychiatric disorder).

ETIOLOGY AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGY • Medical conditions, medications, and somatic treatments that may induce mania are shown in Table 69-1. • See Chap. 70 for medical conditions, substance use disorders, and medications associated with depressive symptoms. • Etiology and pathophysiology of bipolar disorder are shown in Table 69-2.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND DIAGNOSIS • The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th ed., text revision, classifies bipolar disorders as (1) bipolar I, (2) bipolar II, (3) cyclothymic disorder, and (4) bipolar disorder not otherwise specified. Table 69-3 defines mood disorders by type of episode. Table 69-4 describes the evaluation and diagnostic criteria for mood disorders.

MAJOR DEPRESSIVE EPISODE • In bipolar depression, patients often have mood lability, hypersomnia, low energy, psychomotor retardation, cognitive impairments, anhedonia, decreased sexual activity, slowed speech, carbohydrate craving, and weight gain. • Delusions, hallucinations, and suicide attempts are more common in bipolar depression than in unipolar depression.

MANIC EPISODE • Acute mania usually begins abruptly, and symptoms increase over several days. The severe stages may include bizarre behavior, hallucinations, and paranoid or grandiose delusions. There is marked impairment in functioning or the need for hospitalization. • Manic episodes may be precipitated by stressors, sleep deprivation, antidepressants, CNS stimulants, or bright light.

HYPOMANIC EPISODE • There is no marked impairment in social or occupational functioning, no delusions, and no hallucinations. 756

CHAPTER 69

Secondary Causes of Mania

Medical conditions that induce mania • CNS disorders (brain tumor, strokes, head injuries, subdural hematoma, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, temporal lobe seizures, Huntington’s disease) • Infections (encephalitis, neurosyphilis, sepsis, human immunodeficiency virus) • Electrolyte or metabolic abnormalities (calcium or sodium fluctuations, hyper- or hypoglycemia) • Endocrine or hormonal dysregulation (Addison’s disease, Cushing’s disease, hyper- or hypothyroidism, menstrual-related or pregnancy-related or perimenopausal mood disorders) Medications or drugs that induce mania • Alcohol intoxication • Drug withdrawal states (alcohol, α2-adrenergic agonists, antidepressants, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, opiates) • Antidepressants (MAOIs, TCAs, 5-HT and/or NE and/or DA reuptake inhibitors, 5-HT antagonists) • DA-augmenting agents (CNS stimulants: amphetamines, cocaine, sympathomimetics; DA agonists, releasers, and reuptake inhibitors) • Hallucinogens (LSD, PCP) • Marijuana intoxication precipitates psychosis, paranoid thoughts, anxiety, and restlessness • NE-augmenting agents (α2-adrenergic antagonists, β-agonists, NE reuptake inhibitors) • Steroids (anabolic, adrenocorticotropic hormone, corticosteroids) • Thyroid preparations • Xanthines (caffeine, theophylline) • Nonprescription weight loss agents and decongestants (ephedra, pseudoephedrine) • Herbal products (St. John’s wort) Somatic therapies that induce mania • Bright light therapy • Sleep deprivation DA, dopamine; 5-HT, serotonin; LSD, lysergic acid diethylamide; MAOI, monoamine oxidase inhibitor; NE, norepinephrine; PCP, phencyclidine; TCA, tricyclic antidepressant.

Washington, DC: American Psychiatric Press, 1998.

• During a hypomanic episode, some patients may be more productive and creative than usual, but 5% to 15% of patients may rapidly switch to a manic episode.

MIXED EPISODE • Mixed episodes occur in up to 40% of all episodes, are often difficult to diagnose and treat, and are more common in younger and older patients and females. • Patients with mixed states often have comorbid alcohol and substance abuse, severe anxiety symptoms, a higher suicide rate, and a poorer prognosis.

COURSE OF ILLNESS • The average age of onset of a first manic episode is 21 years. More than 80% of bipolar patients have more than four episodes during their lifetime. Usually there is normal functioning between episodes. • Rapid cyclers (10% to 20% of bipolar patients) have four or more episodes per year (major depressive, manic, mixed, or hypomanic). Rapid-cycling 757

Psychiatric Disorders Etiologic and Pathophysiologic Theories of Bipolar Disorder

Genetic factors 80–90% of patients with bipolar disorder have a biologic relative with a mood disorder (e.g., bipolar disorder, major depression, cyclothymia, or dysthymia). First-degree relatives of bipolar patients have a 15–35% lifetime risk of developing any mood disorder and a 5–10% lifetime risk for developing bipolar disorder. The concordance rate of mood disorders is 60–80% for monozygotic twins and 14–20% for dizygotic twins. Linkage studies suggest that certain loci on genes and the X chromosome may contribute to genetic susceptibility of bipolar disorder. Nongenetic factors Perinatal insult Head trauma Environmental factors Desynchronization of circadian or seasonal rhythms cause diurnal variations in mood and sleep patterns and can result in seasonal recurrences of mood episodes. Changes in the sleep-wake cycle or light-dark cycle can precipitate episodes of mania or depression. Bright light therapy can be used for the treatment of winter depression and can precipitate hypomania, mania, or mixed episodes. Psychosocial or physical stressors Stressful life events often precede mood episodes and can increase recurrence rates and prolong time to recovery from mood episodes. Nutritional factors Deficiency of essential amino acid precursors in the diet can cause a dysregulation of neurotransmitter activity (e.g., L-tryptophan deficiency causes a decrease in 5-HT and melatonin synthesis and activity). Deficiency in essential fatty acids (e.g., omega-3 fatty acids) can cause a dysregulation of neurotransmitter activity. Neurotransmitter/neuroendocrine/hormonal theories Dysregulation between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitter systems; excitatory: NE, DA, glutamate, and aspartate; inhibitory: 5-HT and GABA. Monoamine hypothesis An excess of catecholamines (primarily NE and DA) causes mania. Agents that decrease catecholamines are used for the treatment of mania (e.g., DA antagonists and α2adrenergic agonists). Deficit of neurotransmitters (primarily NE, DA, and/or 5-HT) causes depression. Agents that increase neurotransmitter activity are used for the treatment of depression (e.g., 5-HT and NE/ DA reuptake inhibitors and MAOIs). Dysregulation of amino acid neurotransmitters Deficiency of GABA or excessive glutamate activity causes dysregulation of neurotransmitters (e.g., increased DA and NE activity). Agents that increase GABA activity or decrease glutamate activity are used for the treatment of mania and for mood stabilization (e.g., benzodiazepines, lamotrigine, lithium, or valproic acid). Cholinergic hypothesis Deficiency of acetylcholine causes an imbalance in cholinergic-adrenergic activity and can increase the risk of manic episodes. Agents that increase acetylcholine activity can decrease manic symptoms (e.g., use of cholinesterase inhibitors or augmentation of muscarinic cholinergic activity). Increased central acetylcholine levels can increase the risk of depressive episodes. Agents that decrease acetylcholine activity can alleviate depressive symptoms (i.e., anticholinergic agents). Secondary messenger system dysregulation Abnormal G protein functioning dysregulates adenylate cyclase activity, phosphoinositide responses, sodium/potassium/calcium channel exchange, and activity of phospholipases. Abnormal cyclic adenosine monophosphate and phosphoinositide secondary messenger system activity. Abnormal protein kinase C activity and signaling pathways. (continued)

CHAPTER 69

Etiologic and Pathophysiologic Theories of Bipolar Disorder (Continued)

Hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis dysregulation Hyperthyroidism can precipitate manic-like symptoms. Hypothyroidism can precipitate a depression and be a risk factor for rapid cycling; thyroid supplementation can be used for refractory rapid cycling and augmentation of antidepressants in unipolar depression. Positive antithyroid antibody titers reported in patients with bipolar disorder. Hormonal changes during the female life cycle can cause dysregulation of neurotransmitters (e.g., premenstrual, postpartum, and perimenopause). Membrane and cation theories Abnormal neuronal calcium and sodium activity and homeostasis cause neurotransmitter dysregulation. Hypocalcemia has been associated with causing anxiety, mood irritability, mania, psychosis, and delirium. Hypercalcemia has been associated with causing depression, stupor, and coma. Extracellular and intracellular calcium concentrations may affect the synthesis and release of NE, DA, and 5-HT, as well as the excitability of neuronal firing. Sensitization and kindling theories Recurrences of mood episodes causes behavioral sensitivity and electrophysiologic kindling (similar to the amygdala-kindling models for seizures in animals) and can result in rapid or continuous mood cycling.

The length and severity of a mood episode and the interval between episodes vary from patient to patient. Manic episodes are usually briefer and end more abruptly than major depressive episodes. The average length of untreated manic episodes ranges from 4 to 13 months. Episodes can occur regularly (at the same time or season of the year) and often cluster at 12-month intervals. Women have more depressive episodes than manic episodes, whereas men have a more even distribution of episodes. b For bipolar I disorder, 90% of individuals who experience a manic episode later have multiple recurrent major depressive, manic, hypomanic, or mixed episodes alternating with a normal mood state. c Approximately 5–15% of patients with bipolar II disorder will develop a manic episode over a 5-year period. If a manic or mixed episode develops in a patient with bipolar II disorder, the diagnosis is changed to bipolar I disorder. d Patients with cyclothymic disorder have a 15–50% risk of later developing a bipolar I or II disorder.

and mixed states are associated with a poorer prognosis and nonresponse to antimanic agents. Risk factors for rapid cycling include biologic rhythm dysregulation, antidepressant or stimulant use, hypothyroidism, and premenstrual and postpartum states. Women are more likely to have mixed states, depressive episodes, and rapid cycling than men. Suicide attempts occur in up to 50% of patients with bipolar disorder, and approximately 10% to 19% of individuals with bipolar I disorder commit suicide. Bipolar II patients may be more likely than bipolar I patients to attempt suicide. Bipolar patients with substance abuse disorders are more likely to have an earlier onset of illness, mixed states, higher relapse rates, poorer response to treatment, higher suicide risk, and more hospitalizations. Approximately 10% to 15% of adolescents with recurrent major depressive episodes subsequently have an episode of mania or hypomania.

Psychiatric Disorders General Principles for the Management of Bipolar Disorder

Goals of treatment • Eliminate mood episode with complete remission of symptoms (i.e., acute treatment) • Prevent recurrences or relapses of mood episodes (i.e., continuation phase treatment) • Return to complete psychosocial functioning • Maximize adherence with therapy • Minimize adverse effects • Use medications with the best tolerability and fewest drug interactions • Treat comorbid substance use and abuse • Eliminate alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, and hallucinogens • Minimize nicotine use and stop caffeine intake at least 8 hours prior to bedtime • Avoidance of stressors or substances that precipitate an acute episode Monitor for • Mood episodes: document symptoms on a daily mood chart (document life stressors, type of episode, length of episode, and treatment outcome); monthly and yearly life charts are valuable for documenting patterns of mood cycles • Medication adherence (missing doses of medications is a primary reason for nonresponse and recurrence of episodes) • Adverse effects, especially sedation and weight gain (manage rapidly and vigorously to avoid noncompliance) • Suicidal ideation or attempts (suicide completion rates with bipolar I disorder are 10–15%; suicide attempts are primarily associated with depressive episodes, mixed episodes with severe depression or presence of psychosis) Frequency of visits • Severely ill patients should be seen more often (i.e., weekly) compared with less ill patients who are symptomatic (i.e., every 2 weeks) • When starting new medications or switching therapies, frequent monitoring is recommended (e.g., every 2 weeks) to assess adherence, efficacy, dosing, and adverse effects • When a patient is stabilized on medication, less frequent monitoring is possible during the continuation phase (e.g., every month for the first 3 months, then every 2–3 months) • Patients should be encouraged to call their clinician if any problems or adverse events occur or if mood episodes occur between scheduled appointments; rapidly identifying and correcting potential problems or making dosage adjustments is essential in achieving mood stabilization Data from Torrey EF, Knable MB.

CHAPTER 69

acute treatment approach for those patients who do not respond to firstline mood stabilizers, such as lithium and valproate

PHARMACOLOGIC THERAPY • An example treatment algorithm for the acute treatment of mood episodes in patients with bipolar I disorder is shown in Table 69-6. Treatments of First Choice • Lithium, divalproex sodium (valproate), aripiprazole, olanzapine, quetiapine, risperidone, and ziprasidone are currently approved by the FDA for treatment of acute mania in bipolar disorder. Lithium, olanzapine, and lamotrigine are approved for maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder. Quetiapine is the only antipsychotic that is FDA approved for bipolar depression. • Lithium is the drug of choice for bipolar disorder with euphoric mania, whereas valproate has better efficacy for mixed states, irritable/dysphoric mania, and rapid cycling compared with lithium. • Combination therapies (e.g., lithium plus valproate or carbamazepine; lithium or valproate plus an atypical antipsychotic) may provide better acute response and prevention of relapse and recurrence than monotherapy in some bipolar patients, especially those with mixed states or rapid cycling. • Useful guidelines include the following: Practice Guideline for the Treatment of Patients with Bipolar Disorder (Revision) published by the American Psychiatric Association; Texas Medication Algorithm Project developed by the Texas Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation; World Federation of Societies of Biological Psychiatry guideline; Practice Parameters for the Assessment and Treatment of Children and Adolescents with Bipolar Disorder developed by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry; and the Treatment Guidelines for Children and Adolescents with Bipolar Disorder: Child Psychiatric Workgroup on Bipolar Disorder. • Lithium was the first established mood stabilizer and is still considered a first-line agent for acute mania and maintenance treatment of both bipolar I and II disorders. It is the only bipolar medication approved for adults and children 12 years and older. Long-term use of lithium reduces suicide risk. Patients with rapid cycling or mixed states may not respond as well to lithium monotherapy as to some anticonvulsants. • Divalproex sodium (sodium valproate) is now the most prescribed mood stabilizer in the United States. It is FDA approved only for the treatment of acute manic or mixed episodes, but it is often used as maintenance monotherapy for bipolar disorder. • Carbamazepine is also commonly used for acute and maintenance therapy, but it is not FDA approved for bipolar disorder. Some data support the efficacy of oxcarbazepine, but it is also not FDA approved for bipolar disorder in the United States. • Lamotrigine is approved for the maintenance treatment of bipolar I disorder. It has been used as monotherapy or add-on therapy for refractory bipolar depression. 763

Algorithm and Guidelines for the Acute Treatment of Mood Episodes in Patients with Bipolar I Disorder

Acute Manic or Mixed Episode General guidelines Assess for secondary causes of mania or mixed states (e.g., alcohol or drug use) Taper off antidepressants, stimulants, and caffeine if possible Treat substance abuse Encourage good nutrition (with regular protein and essential fatty acid intake), exercise, adequate sleep, stress reduction, and psychosocial therapy Optimize the dose of mood stabilizing medication(s) before adding on benzodiazepines; if psychotic features are present, add on antipsychotic; ECT used for severe or treatment-resistant manic/mixed episodes or psychotic features Hypomania Mania First, optimize current mood stabilizer or initiate moodFirst, two or three drug combinations: lithiuma or stabilizing medication: lithium,a valproate,a or carbavalproatea plus a benzodiazepine (lorazepam or mazepine.a Consider adding a benzodiazepine clonazepam) for short-term adjunctive treatment of agitation or insomnia; lorazepam is recommended (lorazepam or clonazepam) for short-term adjuncfor catatonia.

Acute Depressive Episode General guidelines Assess for secondary causes of depression (e.g., alcohol or drug use) Taper off antipsychotics, benzodiazepines, or sedative-hypnotic agents if possible Treat substance abuse Encourage good nutrition (with regular protein and essential fatty acid intake), exercise, adequate sleep, stress reduction, and psychosocial therapy Optimize the dose of mood stabilizing medication(s) before adding on lithium, lamotrigine, or antidepressant (e.g., bupropion or an SSRI); if psychotic features are present, add on an antipsychotic; ECT used for severe or treatment-resistant depressive episodes or for psychosis or catatonia Mild to Moderate Depressive Episode Severe Depressive Episode First, initiate and/or optimize mood-stabilizing medicaFirst, two or three drug combinations: lithiuma tion: lithiuma or lamotrigine.b or lamotrigineb plus an antidepressantc; lithium plus lamotrigine.

Alternative anticonvulsants: valproate,a carbamazepine,a or oxcarbazepine. Second, if response is inadequate, consider adding an atypical antipsychotic (quetiapine).

Second, if response is inadequate, consider a twodrug combination: • Lithiuma plus an anticonvulsant or an atypical antipsychotic • Anticonvulsant plus an anticonvulsant or atypical antipsychotic

Second, if response is inadequate, consider a threedrug combination: • Lithiuma plus an anticonvulsant plus an atypical antipsychotic • Anticonvulsant plus an anticonvulsant plus an atypical antipsychotic Third, if response is inadequate, consider ECT for mania with psychosis or catatonia d; or add clozapine for treatment-refractory illness

Third, if response is inadequate, consider a three-drug combination: • Lamotrigineb plus an anticonvulsant plus an antidepressant • Lamotrigineb plus lithiuma plus an antidepressant Fourth, if response is inadequate, consider ECT for treatment-refractory illness and depression with psychosis or catatoniad

ECT, electroconvulsive therapy; MAOI, monoamine oxidase inhibitor; SNRI, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor; SSRI, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor; TCA, tricyclic antidepressant. aUse standard therapeutic serum concentration ranges if clinically indicated; if partial response or breakthrough episode, adjust dose to achieve higher serum concentrations without causing intolerable adverse effects; valproate is preferred over lithium for mixed episodes and rapid cycling; lithium and/or lamotrigine is preferred over valproate for bipolar depression. bLamotrigine is not approved for the acute treatment of depression, and the dose must be started low and slowly titrated up to decrease adverse effects if used for maintenance therapy of bipolar I disorder. A drug interaction and a severe dermatologic rash can occur when lamotrigine is combined with valproate (i.e., lamotrigine doses must be halved from standard dosing titration). cAntidepressant monotherapy is not recommended for bipolar depression. Bupropion, SSRIs, (e.g., citalopram, escitalopram, or sertraline), and SNRIs (e.g., venlafaxine) have shown good efficacy and fewer adverse effects in the treatment of unipolar depression; MAOIs and TCAs have more adverse effects (e.g., weight gain) and can have a higher risk of causing antidepressant-induced mania; fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, nefazodone, and paroxetine inhibit liver metabolism and should be used with caution in patients on concomitant medications that require cytochrome P450 clearance; paroxetine and venlafaxine have a higher risk for causing a discontinuation syndrome. dECT is used for severe mania or depression during pregnancy and for mixed episodes; prior to treatment, anticonvulsants, lithium, and benzodiazepines should be tapered off to maximize therapy and minimize adverse effects.

Psychiatric Disorders

• Aripiprazole, olanzapine, quetiapine, risperidone, and ziprasidone are effective as monotherapy or as add-on therapy to lithium or valproate for acute mania. Prophylactic use of antipsychotics can be needed for some patients with recurrent mania or mixed states, but the risks versus benefits must be weighed in view of long-term side effects (e.g , obesity, type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hyperprolactinemia, cardiac disease, and tardive dyskinesia). Alternative Treatments • High-potency benzodiazepines (e.g., clonazepam and lorazepam) are common alternatives to or in combination with antipsychotics for acute mania, agitation, anxiety, panic, and insomnia or in those who cannot take mood stabilizers. Lorazepam IM may be used for acute agitation. A relative contraindication for long-term benzodiazepines is a history of drug or alcohol abuse or dependency. • Antidepressants are routinely added for the treatment of acute depression, but tricyclic antidepressants are associated with an increased risk of inducing mania in bipolar I disorder and possibly cause rapid cycling. Some guidelines recommend avoiding antidepressants in the treatment of bipolar depression or limiting their use to brief intervals, but evidence suggests that coadministration of therapeutic doses of mood stabilizers can reduce the risk of antidepressant-induced switching. Generally the antidepressant should be withdrawn 2 to 6 months after remission and the patients maintained on a mood stabilizer. Long-term antidepressants are required in some patients. • Nimodipine may be more effective than verapamil for rapid-cycling bipolar disorder because of its anticonvulsant properties, high lipid solubility, and good penetration into the brain. Special Populations • Approximately 20% to 50% of women with bipolar disorder relapse postpartum; prophylaxis with mood stabilizers (e.g., lithium or valproate) is recommended immediately postpartum to decrease the risk of relapse. • Current estimates of the rate of occurrence of Epstein anomaly in infants exposed to lithium during the first trimester is between 1:1,000 and 1:2,000. • When lithium is to be used during pregnancy, it should be used at the lowest effective dose in order to avoid “floppy” infant syndrome, hypothyroidism, and nontoxic goiter in the infant. • Serum concentrations in the nursing infant are 10% to 50% of the mother’s serum concentration, thus breast-feeding is usually discouraged for women taking lithium. • When valproate is taken during the first trimester, the risk of neural tube defect is 5% to 9%. For carbamazepine, the risk is estimated to be 0.5% to 1%. • Administration of folic acid can reduce the risk of neural tube defects. • Women taking valproate may breast-feed, but mother and infant should have identical laboratory monitoring. Drug Class Information • Product information, dosing and administration, clinical use, and proposed mechanisms of action for agents used for bipolar disorder are shown in Table 69-7. 766

CHAPTER 69

• Guidelines for baseline and routine laboratory monitoring of mood stabilizers are shown in Table 69-8. • For more information on the side effects, pharmacokinetics, and drug interactions of specific agents, refer to Chap. 71 on Schizophrenia, Chap. 70 on Major Depressive Disorder, and Chap. 52 on Epilepsy. Antipsychotics • Both typical and atypical antipsychotics are effective in approximately 70% of patients with acute mania associated with agitation, aggression, and psychosis, and atypical antipsychotics are better tolerated. • Aripiprazole, olanzapine, quetiapine, risperidone, and ziprasidone are FDA approved for the treatment of acute manic episodes in bipolar I disorder. • Depot antipsychotics (e.g., haloperidol decanoate, fluphenazine decanoate, and risperidone long-acting injection) can be used for maintenance therapy of bipolar disorder with noncompliance or treatment resistance. • Lithium plus an antipsychotic and valproate plus an antipsychotic may be more effective than any of these agents alone. • Adjunctive atypical antipsychotics can be beneficial for breakthrough manic episodes or if there is incomplete response to lithium or valproate monotherapy. • Only olanzapine is FDA approved for maintenance treatment, and only quetiapine is FDA approved for bipolar depression. • Clozapine monotherapy has acute and long-term mood stabilizing effects in refractory bipolar disorder, including mixed mania and rapid cycling, but requires regular white blood cell monitoring for agranulocytosis. • Higher initial doses of antipsychotics (e.g., 20 mg/day of olanzapine) are required for acute mania, but once mania is controlled (usually 7 to 28 days), the antipsychotic can be gradually tapered and discontinued, and the patient maintained on the mood stabilizer alone. Carbamazepine • Carbamazepine is usually reserved for lithium-refractory patients, rapid cyclers, or mixed states. It has some acute antimanic effects, but its longterm effectiveness is unclear. • The combination of carbamazepine with lithium, valproate, and antipsychotics is often used for manic episodes in treatment-resistant patients. • Carbamazepine induces the metabolism of antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and antipsychotics, thus, dosage adjustments may be required. • Acute overdoses of carbamazepine are potentially lethal. • Women who receive carbamazepine require higher doses of oral contraceptives or alternative contraceptive methods. • Certain medications (e.g., cimetidine, diltiazem, erythromycin, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, isoniazid, itraconazole, ketoconazole, nefazodone, propoxyphene, and verapamil) added to carbamazepine therapy may cause carbamazepine toxicity. • Doses can be started at 400 mg to 600 mg/day in divided doses, and increased by 200 mg/day every 2 to 4 days up to 10 to 15 mg/kg/day. Outpatients should be titrated upward more slowly to avoid side effects. Many patients are able to tolerate once daily dosing once their mood episode has stabilized. 771

APPENDICES TABLE A4-4

An Approach to Determining a Drug-Monitoring Plan to Detect Hepatotoxicity

The patient is to be started on a drug that may cause a hepatotoxic reaction ↓ Is the patient pregnant? Is the patient older than age 60 years? Is the patient exposed to an environmental hepatotoxin at work or at home? Is the patient drinking more than one alcoholic beverage per day or bingeing on weekends? Is the patient using any injected recreational drug? Is the patient using herbal remedies or tisanes that are associated with hepatic damage? Is the patient’s diet deficient in magnesium, vitamin E, vitamin C, or α- or β-carotenes? Is the patient’s diet excessive in vitamin A, iron, or selenium? Does the patient have hypertriglyceridemia or type 2 diabetes mellitus? Does the patient have juvenile arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus? Is the patient HIV-positive, have AIDS, or on reverse transcriptase inhibitors? Does the patient have chronic or chronic remitting viral hepatitis (hepatitis B or C)? ↓ Draw a baseline set of blood samples for liver enzymes, bilirubin, albumin, and transferrin before beginning the drug ↓ Does the patient have more than two risk factors? Is the drug identified as one that may cause a predictable hepatotoxic reaction? a ↓Yes ↓No Redraw liver enzymes every 60–90 days depending Redraw liver enzymes if other signs or symptoms on the drug, for the first year manifest If no toxicity is manifested during the first year of therapy, then redraw liver enzymes every 6–12 months; assess liver for cirrhosis every 1–2 years by ultrasound and every 4–6 years by CT or MRI scan; biopsy as directed by other findings AIDS, acquired immune deficiency syndrome; CT, computer tomography; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging. aA drug can become a predictable risk if it is administered concurrently with another drug or food that is known to induce or inhibit its metabolism.
