Chemotherapy-associated renal dysfunction

Abstract: The presence of renal dysfunction in a patient receiving chemotherapy can be devastating. Although many patients with cancer have underlying compromised renal function, some chemotherapeutic agents can actually induce renal abnormalities. An understanding of which traditional and newer chemotherapy agents can affect renal function is useful for physicians so that they can monitor patients for renal abnormalities and initiate preventive strategies to minimize renal complications. This Review highlights renal ab… Show more

“…Leucovorin will restore reduced folate, which has dropped due to high doses of methotrexate. After conversion into its active metabolite, 5-methyltetrahidrofolate, it will help to reduce toxicity that may result from high doses of methotrexate (Sahnl et al 2009).…”

“…It is reserved for use when methotrexate levels are toxic, and there is significant risk for systemic toxicity (45). High-flux hemodialysis clears the plasma of methotrexate fairly well (76%) but is associated with immediate postdialysis plasma rebound (1,2). It may have a role when severe AKI is present, but it may become unnecessary with the availability of glucarbidase.…”

“…In fact, nearly 60% of patients with cancer have some form of renal disease (1,2). Direct malignant effects include myeloma-related kidney injury, infiltration of the renal parenchyma as seen with leukemias and lymphomas, urinary tract obstruction from various cancers, and secondary glomerulopathies (2).…”
