Nephrolithiasis secondary to Indinavir: The calculation “invisible to the eye” from Computed Tomography
Indinavir sulfate is a protease inhibitor in the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cycle. This inhibitor causes nephrolithiasis in up to 35% of patients. Indinavir stones are the only ones in which computed tomography (CT) is not able to visualize them. This work aims to describe the association of urinary lithiasis due to the use of indinavir and the “pitfalls” found in imaging tests.

Abstract:
Indinavir sulfate is a protease inhibitor in the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cycle. This inhibitor causes nephrolithiasis in up to 35% of patients. Indinavir stones are the only ones in which computed tomography (CT) is not able to visualize them. This work aims to describe the association of urinary lithiasis due to the use of indinavir and the “pitfalls” found in imaging tests.
