Comparison of mesna with forced diuresis to prevent cyclophosphamide induced haemorrhagic cystitis in marrow transplantation: a prospective randomised study

Abstract: Summary A prospective randomised study was carried out to compare the effect of mesna (2-mercaptoethane sulphonate sodium) with that of forced diuresis in preventing cyclophosphamide induced haemorrhagic cystitis in marrow transplant recipients. Sixty-one consecutive BMT recipients were randomised for treatment with forced diuresis or mesna. The incidence of macroscopic haematuria was significantly lower in the mesna treated group (X2 = 4.03, P <0.05). No specific side effects of mesna were detected. The lymph… Show more

“…Over the past decades, outcome of early-onset HC is largely improved by the use of 2-mercaptoethane sulfonate sodium (mesna), hyperhydration and forced diuresis. 32,33 In contrast, LOHC remains a continuing complication for HSCT, which is thought to result mainly from viral infections. The reactivation of polyomavirus such as BK virus has been thought to be the most significant factor in the pathogenesis of LOHC, some other studies provide information of adenovirus, CMV and simian virus 40 as putative agents of HC.…”

“…The prevention of HC includes sufficient oral and parenteral hydration. [7][8][9][10] Hows et al 20 reported a lower incidence of cyclophosphamide-induced HC in marrow transplantation with 2-mercaptoethane sulfonate (mesna). Mesna binds to acrolein, which is responsible for urothelial toxicity as a urinary metabolite of cyclophosmamide.…”

“…The time interval between the last dose of BU and the first dose of CY was not 424 h. They were also given appropriate hydration during the period of conditioning along with 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate at 140% of the dose of CY in seven equally divided doses during CY infusion days for prevention of hemorrhagic cystitis. 34 None of the patients received ursodiol for prophylaxis of SOS. All patients were risk stratified as per the Lucarelli classification, 33 and liver function as well as hepatitis B and C virus infections were assessed before transplant.…”
