Are glomerular filtration rate estimations necessary before high dose methotrexate?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Glomerular filtration rates (GFR) were estimated in 168 children (227 estimates) before treatment for haematological malignancies with high dose, intravenous methotrexate. Clinical management was altered on the basis of GFR in only two cases, both of whom had tumour lysis syndrome. Routine estimations of GFR do not contribute to management.

Impact of renal function of patients with advanced urothelial cancer on eligibility for first-line chemotherapy and treatment outcomes.
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study is to clarify the clinical effects of first-line chemotherapy regimens for advanced urothelial cancer on clinical responses and survival of patients grouped by renal function. METHODS In this multicenter retrospective cohort study, 345 urothelial cancer patients received systemic chemotherapy for metastatic or unresectable disease in 17 centers (2004-10). RESU...
متن کاملHigh-dose methotrexate toxicity in elderly patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma.
BACKGROUND The dose of high-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) in elderly patients often has to be reduced, resulting in a loss of treatment efficacy. We evaluated HDMTX-related toxicity with special regard to age distribution in patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) in a phase IV multicenter trial. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred and fifty-four patients (median age 61 years; ...

How nephrotoxic is carboplatin? Sir-The study by Sleijfer et al. (1989) reports on a significant deterioration in renal function following moderate dose carboplatin-with a 19% reduction in glomerular filtration rate. This raises reservations about the claimed advantages of carboplatin over cisplatin and suggests that not only is close monitoring of renal function necessary, but also that hyperh...

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is considered as the best way to assess global renal function (Gaspari et al., 1997; Stevens & Levey, 2009). Even if GFR estimations (based on creatinineor cystatin C-based equations) are most often used (see Table 1)(Cockcroft & Gault, 1976; Levey et al., 1999; Levey et al., 2006; Levey et al., 2009), measuring “true” GFR is still important in clinical practice...

BACKGROUND Impaired glomerular function is one of the health problems affecting childhood cancer survivors (CCS). It is unclear whether glomerular function deteriorates or recovers. We investigated time trends and predictors of glomerular function in CCS. METHODS We evaluated repeated observations of estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and glomerular dysfunction (GFR <90 mL/min/1.73 m(...
