A) MANAGEMENT OF MILD TO MODERATE TOXICITY
1) Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Monitor serum creatinine and renal function closely following exposure.
B) MANAGEMENT OF SEVERE TOXICITY
1) Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Monitor renal function closely. Monitor vital signs. Obtain a baseline ECG and institute continuous cardiac monitoring in patients that develop evidence of cardiac toxicity.
C) DECONTAMINATION
1) PREHOSPITAL: Gastrointestinal decontamination is unlikely to be necessary following a minor exposure. Consider activated charcoal if the overdose is significant, the exposure is recent, the patient is not vomiting, and is able to maintain their airway.
2) HOSPITAL: Consider activated charcoal following a significant exposure, the overdose is recent, the patient is not vomiting, and is able to maintain their airway.
D) AIRWAY MANAGEMENT
1) Airway management is unlikely to be necessary following a minor or moderate exposure unless other toxic agents have been administered concurrently.
E) ANTIDOTE
1) There is no known antidote for lesinurad.
F) ENHANCED ELIMINATION
1) Lesinurad is extensively bound to plasma proteins (greater than 98%); therefore, hemodialysis is UNLIKELY to be effective.
G) PATIENT DISPOSITION
1) HOME CRITERIA: Asymptomatic adults with an inadvertent ingestion of 1 to 2 extra doses or an adult with mild gastrointestinal symptoms can be monitored at home. An asymptomatic child with an inadvertent ingestion (1 tablet) or mild gastrointestinal symptoms can be monitored at home with adult supervision.
2) OBSERVATION CRITERIA: Patients that have more than mild clinical symptoms or had a deliberate ingestion should be referred to a healthcare facility for evaluation including assessment of renal function (ie, serum creatinine, nephrolithiasis) and treatment.
3) ADMISSION CRITERIA: Patients that develop persistent signs or symptoms of acute renal impairment or failure or evidence of cardiac toxicity should be admitted.
4) CONSULT CRITERIA: Consult a nephrologist as needed in patients that develop signs and symptoms of acute kidney injury. Consult a medical toxicologist or poison center for patients with severe toxicity or in whom the diagnosis is unclear.
H) PHARMACOKINETICS
1) Tmax was 1 to 4 hours following a single oral dose. Lesinurad is greater than 98% protein bound, primarily to albumin. Mean steady-state volume of distribution was 20 L with IV administration. Urinary recovery of radiolabeled lesinurad was 63% and fecal recovery was 32% within 7 days. Greater than 60% of the dose was recovered within the first 24 hours. The elimination half-life is about 5 hours. Accumulation is not observed following multiple doses.
