Abstract:SummaryIn a retrospective study, we analyzed the prevalence of increased creatinine levels in 166 patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), their potential prognostic impact, and potential correlations with laboratory and molecular features. Increased creatinine values (> 1.1 mg/dl) were found in 71 of 166 (43%) patients. The median survival of patients with increased creatinine values was significantly shorter than in patients without impairment of renal function (20 vs. 52 months, p < 0.001… Show more
