Chronic kidney disease: 14 case reportsFourteen women, aged 39–69 years, were identified from a
retrospective review after they developed chronic kidneydisease (CKD) while receiving antineoplastics for recurrentovarian cancer. Nine patients died.
All patients had received liposomal doxorubicin for3–66 months when stage 3 CKD was diagnosed, withcumulative doses of 460–2200mg/m2 [dosage detailsincomplete; routes not stated]. The first sign of CKD washypertension for most patients. Nine women progressed toeither stage 4 or 5 CKD; two of these patients had pre-existingrenal dysfunction that was stage <3 at the start of treatment. Inaddition to liposomal doxorubicin, the women had alsoreceived various treatment protocols that includedcarboplatin, either IV or intraperitoneal cisplatin,bevacizumab, oxaliplatin or gemcitabine [dosages anddurations of treatments to reaction onsets not stated; someroutes not stated]. Renal biopsy findings for three patients,who had stage 5 CKD, showed thrombotic microangiopathy.
Two patients received haemodialysis, with one of these alsoreceiving corticosteroids and plasmapheresis. Four womencontinued to have rising creatinine levels; two of these patientsdiscontinued treatment. At last follow-up, one woman hadstable creatinine levels and another was clinically stable. Onewoman developed unilateral hydronephrosis, while anotherwoman died from end-stage renal disease and congestiveheart failure. One woman had developed cancer progressionat last follow-up, while eight patients had died as a result ofdisease.
Author comment: "[O]ur findings suggest that platinums,[liposomal doxorubicin] (in large cumulative doses),bevacizumab, and possibly gemcitabine may result incumulative kidney damage."Kwa M, et al.
