Abstract

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive, recurrent, inflammatory disease. Its most important complication is renal amyloidosis which causes nephrotic syndrome and chronic renal disease. Colchicine, a mitosis inhibitor, is first line therapy in FMF. Disease shows a variable progress during pregnancy; the attacks may be aggrevated or may disappear. Colchicine crosses the placenta and, is shown to be teratogenic in some animal studies. But recent trials consider that colchicine is neither teratogenic nor mutagenic for the fetus. However, the risk of miscarriage was found to be increased unless the attacks were not treated. Although, colchicine is a mitotic inhibitor and there is evidence demonstrating its transplacental passage, no increased risk of fetal chromosomal anomalies has been reported in colchicine treated pregnant FMF patients. Therefore, amniocentesis should not be offered on a routine basis. In this case report, the pregnancy course in a patient on colchicine treatment for FMF was presented, and a review of literature was made.

Özet

Ailevi Akdeniz ateşi (AAA), otozomal resesif geçişli ve rekürrens gösteren inflamatuar bir hastalıktır. Uzun dönemde en önemli komplikasyonu, nefrotik sendrom ve kronik böbrek hastalığına neden olan renal amiloidozdur. Tedavide ilk seçenek ajan, bir mitoz inhibitörü olan kolşisindir. AAA’nin gebelikteki seyri değişkendir. Ataklar tamamen durabilir ya da artabilir. Kolşisin transplasental geçiş göstermektedir. Bazı hayvan deneylerinde fetal teratojenik etkisi olduğu bildirilse de, son yapılan çalışmalar kolşisinin fetüse teratojenik ya da mutajenik olmadığını göstermiştir. Gebelik sırasında atak gelişirse mutlaka kontrol edilmelidir; aksi halde abortus riski artmaktadır. Kolşisinin bir mitoz inhibitorü olmasına ve transplasental geçiş gösterdiğine dair kanıtların varlığına rağmen, gebeliğinde AAA nedeniyle kolşisin kullanan hastalarda fetal kromozomal anomali riskinin artmadığı bildirilmektedir. Bu nedenle rutin olarak amniyosentez yapılması önerilmemektedir. Bu olgu sunumunda, AAA nedeniyle kolşisin kullanan bir hastanın gebelik seyri anlatılmakta ve güncel literatür bilgisi verilmektedir.
