Abstract
OBJECTIVE
We discuss the specific urological abnormalities associated with protease inhibitor therapy.
METHODS
We report on a human immunodeficiency virus positive patient who was on protease inhibitor therapy and presented with renal colic.
RESULTS
The stone passed spontaneously. Stone analysis was not consistent with any known composition of urinary calculus.
CONCLUSIONS
The positive effects of protease inhibitors in human immunodeficiency virus positive patients mandate that the urological community become familiar with these drugs and the specific urological complications as the use of these drugs becomes widespread.
