Wenderfer SE, Cooper JC. Do we really need cyclophosphamide for lupus nephritis? Pediatr Nephrol 2024; 39:3193-3200. [PMID: 38607424 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-024-06367-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2023] [Revised: 03/16/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024]
Abstract
A 14-year-old patient presents with hematuria and proteinuria. Clinical evaluation reveals a positive anti-nuclear antibody titer, positive anti-double stranded DNA antibody and hypocomplementemia. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is diagnosed based on the 2019 EULAR/ACR (European League Against Rheumatism/American College of Rheumatology) classification criteria (Aringer et al. Arthritis Rheumatol 71:1400-1412, 2019). A kidney biopsy is performed that confirms the presence of immune complex glomerulonephritis, ISN-RPS (International Society of Nephrology/Renal Pathology Society) class IV (Bajema et al. Kidney Int 93:789-796, 2018). According to the latest clinical practice guidelines (Rovin et al. Kidney Int 100:753-779, 2021; Fanouriakis et al. Ann Rheum Dis 83:15-29, 2023), there are alternatives to treating this patient with cyclophosphamide. But what if this patient also presented with oliguria and volume overload requiring intensive care and dialysis? What if this patient also presented with altered mental status and seizures, and was diagnosed with neuropsychiatric lupus? What if this patient was also diagnosed with a pulmonary hemorrhage and respiratory failure? The clinical practice guidelines do not address these scenarios that are not uncommon in patients with SLE. Moreover, in some countries worldwide, patients do not have the privilege of access to biologics or more expensive alternatives. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the contemporary options for initial treatment of nephritis in patients with SLE.

Impact of dosing strategy on clinical outcomes of patients with lupus nephritis initially treated with lower-than-recommended-dose cyclophosphamide. Heliyon 2024; 10:e37359. [PMID: 39296157 PMCID: PMC11408774 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e37359] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 08/29/2024] [Accepted: 09/02/2024] [Indexed: 09/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Aim Cyclophosphamide is the mainstay treatment for patients with lupus nephritis (LN); it can be prescribed at lower doses than the recommended regimen to avoid side effects. We aimed to investigate the impact of cyclophosphamide dosing strategies on treatment outcomes of patients with LN initially treated with a lower-than-recommended dose. Methods We retrospectively reviewed patients with proliferative LN (class III, IV, or mixed) initially treated with lower-than-recommended-dose cyclophosphamide. Patients who received a titrated dose of cyclophosphamide ≥0.5 g/m2 were categorized into the titrate group, while those who received doses <0.5 g/m2 were categorized into the non-titrate group. The primary outcome was primary renal response (PRR) at 52 weeks. Results Of the 78 patients included, 47 were assigned to the titrate group and 31 to the non-titrate group. The titrate group had a higher proportion of PRR achievement (23 of 47 patients [48.9 %] vs. 7 of 31 patients [22.6 %] in the non-titrate group). After adjusting for potential confounders, a baseline urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio ≥3 g/g (OR, 0.3; 95 % CI, 0.1-0.9; P = 0.030), and titrating the dose of cyclophosphamide to ≥0.5 g/m2 (OR, 4.7; 95 % CI, 1.5-15.2; P = 0.010) were independent factors for PRR. Additionally, the titrate group had a lower rate of infection (8 of 47 patients [17.0 %] vs. 12 of 31 patients [38.7 %], respectively; OR, 0.3; 95 % CI, 0.1-0.9; P = 0.036) and death associated with LN (4 of 47 patients [8.5 %] vs. 8 of 31 patients [25.8 %], respectively; OR, 0.3; 95 % CI, 0.1-0.9; P = 0.047) compared with the non-titrate group. LN flare and the need for rescue therapy did not differ between the groups. Conclusion For patients with LN initially treated with lower-than-recommended-dose cyclophosphamide, titration of the cyclophosphamide dose ≥0.5 g/m2 was beneficial on renal response, while reducing infection leading to hospitalization and LN-associated death.

Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy against B-cell maturation antigen is a new treatment modality for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (MM). Patients with kidney failure and MM were excluded from the pivotal CAR T-cell therapy clinical trials: KaRMMa (idecabtagene vicleucel) and CARTITUDE (ciltacabtagene autocleucel). The safety and efficacy of CAR T-cell therapy in patients with relapsed or refractory MM and kidney failure are limited to a few case reports using idecabtagene vicleucel. Here, we report the first 2 cases of ciltacabtagene autoleucel use in patients with kidney failure on maintenance hemodialysis and relapsed or refractory MM. Both patients achieved a hematologic response following ciltacabtagene autoleucel administration without serious adverse events. These findings suggest that ciltacabtagene autoleucel may be safe and effective in patients with relapsed or refractory MM and kidney failure. In this report, we review the available literature regarding the use of CAR T-cell therapy in patients with MM and kidney failure. We also discuss the modification of the lymphodepletion regimen in the kidney failure setting.

World J Clin Oncol 2024; 15:895-907. [PMID: 39071467 PMCID: PMC11271733 DOI: 10.5306/wjco.v15.i7.895] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2024] [Revised: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Parthenolide (PTL), a sesquiterpene lactone derived from the medicinal herb Chrysanthemum parthenium, exhibits various biological effects by targeting NF-kB, STAT3, and other pathways. It has emerged as a promising adjunct therapy for multiple malignancies. AIM To evaluate the in vitro and in vivo effect of PTL on cyclophosphamide (CTX) metronomic chemotherapy. METHODS The cytotoxicity of PTL and CTX on Lewis lung cancer cells (LLC cells) was assessed by measuring cell activity and apoptosis. The anti-tumor efficiency was evaluated using a tumor xenograft mice model, and the survival of mice and tumor volume were monitored. Additionally, the collected tumor tissues were analyzed for tumor microenvironment indicators and inflammatory factors. RESULTS In vitro, PTL demonstrated a synergistic effect with CTX in inhibiting the growth of LLC cells and promoting apoptosis. In vivo, metronomic chemotherapy combined with PTL and CTX improved the survival rate of tumor-bearing mice and reduced tumor growth rate. Furthermore, metronomic chemotherapy combined with PTL and CTX reduced NF-κB activation and improved the tumor immune microenvironment by decreasing tumor angiogenesis, reducing Transforming growth factor β, and α-SMA positive cells. CONCLUSION PTL is an efficient compound that enhances the metronomic chemotherapy effects of CTX both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting its potential as a supplementary therapeutic strategy in metronomic chemotherapy to improve the chemotherapy effects.

Global burden of anticancer drug-induced acute kidney injury and tubulointerstitial nephritis from 1967 to 2023. Sci Rep 2024; 14:16124. [PMID: 38997405 PMCID: PMC11245615 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-67020-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aims to figure out the worldwide prevalence of anticancer therapy-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) and tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) and the relative risk of each cancer drug. We conducted an analysis of VigiBase, the World Health Organization pharmacovigilance database, 1967-2023 via disproportionate Bayesian reporting method. We further categorized the anticancer drugs into four groups: cytotoxic therapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. Reporting odds ratio (ROR) and information component (IC) compares observed and expected values to investigate the associations of each category of anticancer drugs with AKI and TIN. We identified 32,722 and 2056 reports (male, n = 17,829 and 1,293) of anticancer therapy-associated AKI and TIN, respectively, among 4,592,036 reports of all-drug caused AKI and TIN. There has been a significant increase in reports since 2010, primarily due to increased reports of targeted therapy and immunotherapy. Immunotherapy exhibited a significant association with both AKI (ROR: 8.92; IC0.25: 3.06) and TIN (21.74; 4.24), followed by cytotoxic therapy (7.14; 2.68), targeted therapy (5.83; 2.40), and hormone therapy (2.59; 1.24) for AKI, and by cytotoxic therapy (2.60; 1.21) and targeted therapy (1.54; 0.61) for TIN. AKI and TIN were more prevalent among individuals under 45 years of age, with a female preponderance for AKI and males for TIN. These events were reported in close temporal relationship after initiation of the respective drug (16.53 days for AKI and 27.97 days for TIN), and exhibited a high fatality rate, with 23.6% for AKI and 16.3% for TIN. These findings underscore that kidney-related adverse drug reactions are of prognostic significance and strategies to mitigate such side effects are required to optimize anticancer therapy.

Abstract
The advancement of renal replacement therapy has significantly enhanced the survival rates of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) over time. However, this prolonged survival has also been associated with a higher likelihood of cancer diagnoses among these patients including breast cancer. Breast cancer treatment typically involves surgery, radiation, and systemic therapies, with approaches tailored to cancer type, stage, and patient preferences. However, renal replacement therapy complicates systemic therapy due to altered drug clearance and the necessity for dialysis sessions. This review emphasizes the need for optimized dosing and administration strategies for systemic breast cancer treatments in dialysis patients, aiming to ensure both efficacy and safety. Additionally, challenges in breast cancer screening and diagnosis in this population, including soft-tissue calcifications, are highlighted.

Nephrons and non-relapse mortality: simplified comorbidity index and acute kidney injury are associated with NRM in adults undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant. FRONTIERS IN TRANSPLANTATION 2024; 3:1352413. [PMID: 38993762 PMCID: PMC11235361 DOI: 10.3389/frtra.2024.1352413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024]
Abstract
The Simplified Comorbidity Index (SCI) is a recently published 5-component, pre-transplant tool to predict non-relapse mortality (NRM) in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) patients. The SCI captures chronic kidney disease (CKD) using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on the CKD-EPI equation (KDIGO 2021 CKD-EPI), which may be more sensitive to predict risk of NRM than the creatinine cut-off in the 16-component, Hematopoietic Cell Transplant-Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI). We retrospectively assessed the ability of the SCI to risk-stratify patients and the impact of acute kidney injury (AKI) to NRM in adults who underwent alloHCT at the University of Minnesota. We included 373 patients who underwent their first alloHCT between 2015 and 2019. Through multivariate analysis, we found that patients with an SCI of greater than 4 had a higher risk of NRM. Additionally, we noted that AKIs stages 2-3 prior to day +100 was independently associated with a 3-fold greater NRM than patients who did not experience clinically significant AKI.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined glucocorticoids (GCs) and cyclophosphamide (CYC) treatment in Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO). METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and four Chinese databases (Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP), WanFang, and SinoMed) for any published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) produced from inception to December 1, 2023. Articles obtained using appropriate keywords were selected independently by two reviewers according to the established inclusion and exclusion criteria. FINDINGS We retrieved 1120 records which were eventually reduced to 13 RCTs which were then included in this evaluation. Pooled results indicated that the experimental group (CYC/GCs) showed a higher response rate than control group (GCs or negative control) (RR 1.27; 95% confidence interval 1.19 to 1.37). The subgroup analysis showed that the difference in response rates among treatment protocols (CYC/P, CYC/MPS, CYC/DEX) was not statistically significant (p = 0.23). IMPLICATIONS The combination of GCs and CYC could be recommended as a therapeutic option for GO, especially in patients who experience recurrence after a withdrawal GCs, have a poor response to GCs, or cannot obtain monoclonal antibody agents for various reasons.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease is common in multiple myeloma. Fludarabine which is part of lymphodepletion before CAR-T cell therapy is renally eliminated and its use is not recommended for patients with severe renal impairment defined as a glomerular filtration rate below 30ml/min/1.73m2. We administered fludarabine to a 58-year-old female patient with myeloma-associated severe renal impairment as part of lymphodepletion before Idecabtagen vicleucel infusion. Fludarabine was administered in reduced dose (15mg/m2) and cyclophosphamide with a dose of 300mg/m2 followed by hemodialysis over six hours using a larger filter (FX-100). The therapy was well tolerated with excellent CAR-T cell expansion and complete remission which is ongoing now beyond 12 months.

Abstract
Cisplatin, a potent chemotherapeutic agent, is marred by severe nephrotoxicity that is governed by mechanisms involving oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis pathways. The transcription factor Nrf2, pivotal in cellular defense against oxidative stress and inflammation, is the master regulator of the antioxidant response, upregulating antioxidants and cytoprotective genes under oxidative stress. This review discusses the mechanisms underlying chemotherapy-induced kidney injury, focusing on the role of Nrf2 in cancer therapy and its redox regulation in cisplatin-induced kidney injury. We also explore Nrf2's signaling pathways, post-translational modifications, and its involvement in autophagy, as well as examine redox-based strategies for modulating Nrf2 in cisplatin-induced kidney injury while considering the limitations and potential off-target effects of Nrf2 modulation. Understanding the redox regulation of Nrf2 in cisplatin-induced kidney injury holds significant promise for developing novel therapeutic interventions. This knowledge could provide valuable insights into potential strategies for mitigating the nephrotoxicity associated with cisplatin, ultimately enhancing the safety and efficacy of cancer treatment.

Abstract
Gynecological cancer poses a serious threat to women's health. Chemotherapy-based systemic therapy plays a crucial role in the treatment of gynecological cancers. Many systemic therapeutic drugs are metabolized in the kidneys. Therefore, normal renal function is a prerequisite for gynecological tumor patients to complete the full course of systematic treatment and provide a guarantee for achieving an ideal prognosis. Chronic kidney disease often places restrictions on systematic treatment to different extents, such as influencing drug pharmacokinetics, increasing drug toxicity, and the risk of adverse drug reactions. Unfortunately, women undergoing renal replacement have a higher risk of developing gynecological cancers. This article summarizes the current knowledge on systemic treatment drugs for patients with gynecological cancer undergoing dialysis. We discuss the optimal choice of the systematic therapeutic protocol, administration of form and dosage, and window of chemotherapy during hemodialysis sessions to ensure both effectiveness and safety in gynecological cancer patients.

Abstract
The field of rheumatology has advanced significantly in recent years to provide rheumatologists with an extensive array of medications to combat rheumatic joint conditions. In contrast to an older era, when NSAIDs and other nephrotoxic agents were the mainstay of treatment, modern DMARDs vary considerably in their nephrotoxic potential and their use is not always precluded in populations with pre-existing chronic kidney disease (CKD). This review will explore in detail the safety and efficacy profiles of medications used to treat rheumatologic disease, specifically in the setting of CKD. Specifically, we discuss both traditional agents used, i.e. NSAIDs, CSs and conventional synthetic DMARDs, as well as novel biologic DMARDs and targeted synthetic DMARDs. Anti-gout prescribing in CKD is also reviewed. We aim to provide practical guidance to rheumatologists, nephrologists and general physicians when prescribing these medications in the setting of CKD.

Abstract
The recommendations in the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) 2021 guidelines regarding Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy (IMN) management include significant changes as compared to those published in 2012. According to the recent guidelines, a biopsy is not always needed for IMN diagnosis; since diagnosis can be allowed for by the detection of circulating antibodies against the M-type transmembrane phospholipase A2 receptor (anti-PLA2R). Moreover, alterations in anti-PLA2R concentrations, along with other serum and urinary markers, may guide further follow-up. The findings of numerous recent studies which compared different immunosuppressive treatments resulted in substantial changes in treatment indications in the KDIGO 2021 guidelines, suggesting the stratification of patients into four risk categories. The definition of resistant cases and relapses was likewise modified. All the above will lead to a more granular and personalized approach, whose results need to be tested over time. In this commentary, we discuss the changes in the 2012 and 2021 guidelines, adding information from the most recent literature.

Abstract
The largest study on cyclophosphamide pharmacokinetics in dialysis patients comprises of 6 subjects. In the 2 decades since these data were obtained, dialyser membranes, treatment intensities, and treatment duration have changed considerably making new pharmacokinetic studies desirable. We aimed to readdress the pharmacokinetics of cyclophosphamide in a 74-year-old critically ill male suffering from ANCA-associated vasculitis. Due to an acute-on-chronic kidney injury, he underwent intermittent (IHD) and prolonged intermittent kidney replacement therapy (PIKRT). IHD was started 7 h after end of a cyclophosphamide infusion with a blood/dialysate flow of 300 mL/min for 255 min, followed by PIKRT with a blood/dialysate flow of 140 mL/min for 540 min, both using a 1.3 m2 polysulphone high-flux dialyser (F60S, Fresenius Medical Care). Peak concentration of cyclophosphamide was 20.2 mg/L. Using IHD and PIKRT serum concentration of cyclophosphamide decreased to 1.2 mg/L after IHD and to <0.1 mg/L after PIKRT with dialyser-clearances of 153.0 mL/min and 84.9 mL/min, respectively. Total recovery of cyclophosphamide, calculated from the collected dialysate, was 57.5 mg (7.7% of administered dose) for IHD and was 8.3 mg (1.1% of administered dose) for PIKRT. By using IHD with a high-flux dialyser cyclophosphamide could be eliminated. Remaining cyclophosphamide should be eliminated by PIKRT. Hence, even in the absence of renal function a dose >50% of the recommended for patient with normal renal function may be applied, as complete elimination of the parent drug by modern dialysis is feasible.

Outcomes of CD19-Targeted Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy for Patients with Reduced Renal Function Including Dialysis. Transplant Cell Ther 2022; 28:829.e1-829.e8.

Abstract
Patients with renal impairment (RI) are typically excluded from trials evaluating chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies. We evaluated the outcomes of patients with RI receiving standard of care (SOC) CAR T cell therapy for relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). In this retrospective, single-center cohort study of patients with R/R DLBCL treated with SOC axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) or tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel) after 2 or more prior lines of therapy, renal and survival outcomes were compared based on RI and fludarabine dose reduction (DR) status. RI was defined by an estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 as determined by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation using day -5 creatinine (Cr) values. Acute kidney injury (AKI) was identified and graded using standard Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. Renal recovery was considered to occur if Cr was within .2 mg/mL of baseline by day +30. Fludarabine was considered DR if given at <90% of the recommended Food and Drug Administration label dose. Among 166 patients treated with CAR T cell therapy were 17 patients (10.2%) with baseline RI and 149 (89.8%) without RI. After CAR T cell infusion, the incidence of any grade AKI was not significantly different between patients with baseline RI and those without RI (42% versus 21%; P = .08). Similarly, severe grade 2/3 AKI was seen in 1 of 17 patients (5.8%) with baseline RI and in 11 of 149 patients (7.3%) without RI (P = 1). Decreased renal perfusion (28 of 39; 72%) was the most common cause of AKI, with cytokine release syndrome (CRS) contributing to 17 of 39 AKIs (44%). Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) did not differ between patients with RI and those without RI or between those who received standard-dose fludarabine and those who received reduced-dose fludarabine. In contrast, patients with AKI had worse clinical outcomes than those without AKI (multivariable PFS: hazard ratio [HR], 2.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2 to 3.7; OS: HR, 3.9; 95% CI, 2.1 to 7.4). Notably, peak inflammatory cytokine levels were higher in patients who experienced AKI. Finally, we describe 2 patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis who received lymphodepletion and CAR T cell therapy. Baseline renal function did not affect renal or efficacy outcomes after CAR T cell therapy in DLBCL. On the other hand, patients with AKI went on to experience worse clinical outcomes. AKI was commonly related to CRS and high peak inflammatory cytokine levels. CAR T cell therapy is feasible in patients with ESRD and requires careful planning of lymphodepletion.

Abstract
Background: Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a rare multisystem autoimmune disease. There is a need for interoperable national registries to enable reporting of real-world long-term outcomes and their predictors in AAV. Methods: The Irish National Rare Kidney Disease (RKD) registry was founded in 2012. To date, 842 patients with various forms of vasculitis have been recruited across eight nephrology, rheumatology and immunology centres. We focus here on patient- and disease- characteristics, treatment and outcomes of the 397 prospectively recruited patients with AAV. Results: Median age was 64 years (IQR 55-73), 57.9% were male, 58.9% had microscopic polyangiitis and 85.9% had renal impairment. Cumulative one- and five-year patient survival was 94% and 77% respectively. Median follow-up was 33.5 months (IQR 10.7-52.7). After controlling for age, baseline renal dysfunction (p = 0.04) and the burden of adverse events (p <0.001) were independent predictors of death overall. End-stage-kidney-disease (ESKD) occurred in 73 (18.4%) patients; one- and five-year renal survival was 85% and 79% respectively. Baseline severity of renal insufficiency (p = 0.02), urine soluble CD163 (usCD163) (p = 0.002) and "sclerotic" Berden histological class (p = 0.001) were key determinants of ESKD risk. Conclusions: Long-term outcomes of Irish AAV patients are comparable to other reported series. Our results emphasise the need for personalisation of immunosuppression, to limit treatment toxicity, particularly in those with advanced age and renal insufficiency. Baseline usCD163 is a potential biomarker for ESKD prediction and should be validated in a large independent cohort.

Abstract
Severe enteritis is a rare side effect of cyclophosphamide (CPA) therapy, and only two cases have been reported to date. We herein report a 60-year-old man who developed severe enteritis after intravenous CPA administration for microscopic polyangiitis. He was successfully treated by discontinuation of CPA administration and long-term intensive supportive care. A diagnosis of CPA-associated enteritis was made based on the clinical course and imaging and pathological findings. This review of three cases of CPA-related enteritis, including our case, suggests that prompt CPA discontinuation and intensive systemic management are necessary when patients have gastrointestinal symptoms after CPA administration.

Abstract
Algae accumulate large amounts of polysaccharides in their cell walls or intercellular regions. Polysaccharides from algae possess high potential as promising candidates for marine drug development. In this study, a sulfated polysaccharide, UCP, from the green alga Ulva conglobata Kjellman was obtained by water extraction, anion-exchange, and size-exclusion chromatography purification, and its structure was characterized by a combination of chemical and spectroscopic methods. UCP mainly consisted of →4)-α/β-l-Rhap-(1→, →4)-β-d-Xylp-(1→ and →4)-β-d-GlcAp-(1→ residues. Sulfate ester groups were substituted mainly at C-3 of →4)-l-Rhap-(1→ and C-2 of →4)-β-d-Xylp-(1→. Partial glycosylation was at C-2 of →4)-α-l-Rhap-(1→ residues. UCP possessed a potent immunomodulatory effect in vitro, evaluated by the assays of lymphocyte proliferation and macrophage phagocytosis. The immunomodulatory activity of UCP in vivo was further investigated using immunosuppressive mice induced by cyclophosphamide. The results showed that UCP markedly increased the spleen and thymus indexes and ameliorated the cyclophosphamide-induced damage to the spleen and thymus. UCP could increase the levels of white blood cells, lymphocytes, and platelets, and improve the hematopoietic inhibition caused by cyclophosphamide. Moreover, UCP significantly promoted the secretions of the immunoglobulin (Ig)G, IgE, and IgM. The data demonstrated that UCP is a novel sulfated polysaccharide and may be a promising immunomodulatory agent.

In-ICU-acquired infections in flare-up systemic rheumatic disease patients receiving immunosuppressant. Clin Rheumatol 2022; 41:2845-2854. [PMID: 35534696 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-022-06197-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2022] [Revised: 04/25/2022] [Accepted: 04/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Systemic rheumatic diseases (SRDs) are a group of inflammatory disorders that can need intensive care unit (ICU) admission during a flare-up, requiring administration of immunosuppressants. We undertook this study to determine the frequency, outcome, and occurrence associated factors of infections in flare-up SRD patients receiving immunosuppressant. METHODS Monocenter, a retrospective study including SRD patients admitted to ICU for a flare-up requiring immunosuppressant from 2004 to 2019. The primary endpoint was in-ICU-acquired infections. RESULTS Ninety-eight patients (female/male ratio: 1.6; mean age at admission: 39.5 ± 17.4 years) were admitted to the ICU for a SRD flare-up, inaugural in 61.2% cases. A specific treatment was given to every patient: corticosteroids 100%, cyclophosphamide 45.9%, plasma exchange 46.9%. Ninety-five infections occurred in 35 (36%) patients mainly pneumonias. The overall in-hospital mortality was 17.3%, and 46% of patients with a nosocomial infection died during their ICU stay. The logistic regression multivariable model retained renal replacement therapy and mechanical ventilation as independent predictors of infection. CONCLUSION In-ICU-acquired infection in SRD flare-up is a frequent event associated with organ failures but not with in-ICU use of immunosuppressants. These data suggest that the fear of infection should not withhold a careful in-ICU use of immunosuppressive drugs. Key Points • In-ICU infections are frequent in flare-up systemic rheumatic disease patients. • Infections are associated with increased mortality. • Cyclophosphamide given in ICU was not independently associated with infection. • Severe neutropenia occurred in 27% of patients receiving cyclophosphamide in ICU.

Abstract
Early diagnosis and initiation of appropriate immunosuppressive treatment remain the cornerstone of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis at the cost of significant toxicity. In this report, we present a case of a 69-year-old female who presented with advanced renal insufficiency and evidence of pulmonary hemorrhage and was MPO-ANCA-positive with a clinical phenotype of granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Organ involvement included rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (GN), along with extrarenal manifestations (skin, upper and lower respiratory system involvement, and onset of saddle-nose deformity). Kidney biopsy established the diagnosis of pauci-immune crescentic, sclerotic GN. She received therapy with glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide, mainly due to life-threatening extra-renal manifestations, such as pulmonary hemorrhage. She avoided vasculitis-related death but she developed severe therapy-related toxicity, resulting in the discontinuation of immunosuppressive therapy. Continuous re-evaluation of patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis in terms of response to immunosuppressive therapy and treatment-related toxicity is crucial for their management.

Abstract
Several theories regarding acute kidney injury (AKI)-related mortality have been entertained, although mounting evidence supports the paradigm that impaired kidney function directly and adversely affects the function of several remote organs. The kidneys and liver are fundamental to human metabolism and detoxification, and it is therefore hardly surprising that critical illness complicated by hepatorenal dysfunction portends a poor prognosis. Several diseases can simultaneously impact the proper functioning of the liver and kidneys, although this review will address the impact of AKI on liver function. While evidence for this relationship in humans remains sparse, we present supportive studies and then discuss the most likely mechanisms by which AKI can cause liver dysfunction. These include 'traditional' complications of AKI (uremia, volume overload and acute metabolic acidosis, among others) as well as systemic inflammation, hepatic leukocyte infiltration, cytokine-mediated liver injury and hepatic oxidative stress. We conclude by addressing the therapeutic implications of these findings to clinical medicine.

Abstract
The Cyclophosphamide (CYC) is used as an anti cancer agent. It is chemically known as (RS)-N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1,3,2-oxazaphosphinan-2-amine 2-oxide. The vibrational assignments survey of the CYC was implemented by employing FT-IR and FT-Raman spectroscopic investigation and the results are compared with theoretical features. The optimized geometrical parameters, IR intensity and Raman Activity of the vibrational bands of CYC were determined from the B3LYP functional with 6-311++G (d, p) level of theory. In the current work, quantum chemical calculations were adopted to contemplate the vibrational assignments of CYC and the outcomes are compared with experimental findings. Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MEP) and HOMO-LUMO energies are very effective in the examination of charge transfer and distribution of the molecular structure. The molecular orbital contributions were evaluated by using the Total Density of States (TDOS). The analysis of Natural Bond Orbital (NBO), Mulliken population and Fukui function studies were done. Intermolecular interaction of the title compound was examined through Hirshfeld surface analysis. The evaluation of drug-likeness was accomplished in accordance with Lipinski's Rule of Five and molecular descriptors were utilized to predict the ADMET profiles of the CYC molecule. The recent research studies reports that the structural and bio-activity of the CYC was affirmed by the docking analysis of CYC with protein PI3K/AKT inhibitor, it acts as anti-lung cancer agent.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION ANCA-vasculitis are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Large use of cyclophosphamide as induction immunosuppressive therapy is limited by its side effects. All recent literature trends in decreasing cumulative dose while optimizing maintenance therapy. METHODS This retrospective multicentric analysis included ANCA-vasculitis patients with renal impairment and de novo diagnose followed in Rennes and Vannes hospitals for 2 years minimum. The primary endpoint was to analyze relapse free survival comparing oral and intravenous administration of cyclophosphamide. RESULTS From 01/01/2003 to 01/03/2016, 91 patients were included (45 oral and 46 intravenous group). Patients in oral group were 10 years younger (P<0,001), with higher maintenance therapy (P<0,001) and steroids (P<0,001) duration. With a Cox model adjusted on age, steroid and maintenance therapy duration, oral cyclophosphamide showed no benefice in decreasing relapse free survival (OR 0,80; 95%IC 0,38-1,66; P=0,55). No difference was observed on either mortality or renal survival. Oral group at 1-year trends to achieve more leucopenia (40 vs 24%) and infection (30 vs 22%) episodes, but less hospitalization (40 vs 65%), without reaching statistical significance. CONCLUSION In this retrospective multicentric analysis, oral cyclophosphamide induction was not associated with better relapse free survival after adjustment with age, steroid and maintenance therapy duration. Maintenance therapy duration is believed to better prevent ANCA-vasculitis relapse.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical features and prognostic factors of microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH). METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of 92 patients diagnosed with MPA with DAH at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between March 1, 2012, and March 12, 2018. The cumulative survival rate was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method, and survival curves were drawn. A Cox hazard model was used to determine the prognostic factors for survival by univariate and multivariate analysis. RESULTS The mean age at the onset of MPA with DAH was 66.32 years. Among the 92 MPA with DAH patients with follow-up visits, 41 (44.57%) were critically ill and 79 (85.87%) had pulmonary and renal involvement. The cumulative survival rates of the 92 patients at 1, 3, and 5 years were 63.7%, 51.2%, and 47.3%, respectively, and the median survival time was 46 months. In the multivariate analysis, age > 65 years (HR 4.30, 95% CI 1.94-9.55), sCr > 500 μmol/L (HR 2.04, 95% CI 1.05-3.97), PaO2/FiO2 < 300 mmHg (HR 4.10, 95% CI 1.97-8.53), and lung involvement area ≥ 50% (HR 2.93, 95% CI 1.40-6.13) were independent prognostic factors (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The incidence and mortality of DAH are high in MPA patients. Age > 65 years, sCr > 500 μmol/L, PaO2/FiO2 < 300 mmHg, and lung involvement area ≥ 50% are independent prognostic factors for MPA with DAH.

Abstract
Cyclophosphamide (CPA) containing chemotherapy regimen is the standard of care for breast cancer treatment in sub-Saharan Africa. Wide inter-individual variations in pharmacokinetics (PK) of cyclophosphamide (CPA) influence the efficacy and toxicity of CPA containing chemotherapy. Data on the pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of CPA and its covariates among black African patients is lacking. We investigated population pharmacokinetic/pharmacogenetic/pharmacodynamic (PK-PG-PD) of CPA in Ethiopian breast cancer patients. During the first cycle of CPA-based chemotherapy, the population PK parameters for CPA were determined in 267 breast cancer patients. Absolute neutrophil count was recorded at baseline and day 20 post-CPA administration. A population PK and covariate model analysis was performed using non-linear mixed effects modeling. Semi-mechanistic and empiric drug response models were explored to describe the relationship between the area under concentration-time curve (AUC), and neutrophil toxicity. One compartment model better described CPA PK with population clearance and apparent volume of distribution (VD) of 5.41 L/h and 46.5 L, respectively. Inter-patient variability in CPA clearance was 54.5%. Patients carrying CYP3A5*3 or *6 alleles had lower elimination rate constant and longer half-life compared to wild type carriers. CYP2C9 *2 or *3 carriers were associated with increased clearance of CPA. Patients who received 500 mg/m2 based CPA regimen were associated with a 32.3% lower than average clearance and 37.1% lower than average VD compared to patients who received 600 mg/m2. A 0.1 m2 unit increase in body surface area (BSA) was associated with a 5.6% increment in VD. The mean VD (33.5 L) in underweight group (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2) was significantly lower compared to those of overweight (48.1 L) or obese patients (51.9 L) (p < 0.001). AUC of CPA was positively correlated with neutropenic toxicity. In conclusion, we report large between-patient variability in clearance of CPA. CYP3A5 and CYP2C9 genotypes, BSA, BMI, and CPA dosage regimen influence PK of CPA. Plasma CPA exposure positively predicts chemotherapy-associated neutropenic toxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is no clear consensus on the administration of anti-neoplastic agents to patients on peritoneal dialysis. Dose adjustments to prevent serious adverse events are still not established. Thus, the aim of this study was to systematically review current evidence on the use of systemic oncology therapies in peritoneal dialysis. METHODS A systematic review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane. All relevant data was collected, including clinical and pharmacokinetic parameters, with comparison to subjects with normal renal function. RESULTS Sixteen studies were included. All were case reports. Eighteen types of anti-cancer drugs were reviewed. Multiple adverse events and altered pharmacokinetics were reported. CONCLUSION Data concerning the use of anti-neoplastic drugs in patients on peritoneal dialysis are still sparse. The elimination of anti-cancer agents seems often altered in such patients, resulting in serious adverse events. Based on the available evidence, we suggest the need for dose adjustment of each drug.

Chan CM, Rassnick KM, Frimberger AE, Nguyen SM, Moore AS. Phase I dose escalating study of oral cyclophosphamide in tumour-bearing cats. Vet J 2020; 258:105450. [PMID: 32564869 DOI: 10.1016/j.tvjl.2020.105450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2019] [Revised: 03/18/2020] [Accepted: 03/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Cyclophosphamide is an alkylating agent used to treat cats with lymphoma, carcinomas and sarcomas. However, no clear consensus exists regarding the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of oral cyclophosphamide in cats. Toxicities are rarely reported at published oral dosages of cyclophosphamide (200-300 mg/m2). The primary aim of this prospective study was to determine the MTD of oral cyclophosphamide in tumour-bearing cats via a modified phase I trial. A secondary aim was to define any toxicity. Forty-six client-owned tumour-bearing cats were enrolled. The cyclophosphamide dosage was escalated by approximately 10% (300, 330, 360, 400, 440, 460 and 480 mg/m2) in cohorts of at least six cats. The MTD of oral cyclophosphamide in this study was 460 mg/m2 with an inter-treatment interval of two to three weeks. Haematology is recommended 7 and 14 days after first cyclophosphamide treatment, and immediately before each subsequent dosage of cyclophosphamide or any potentially myelosuppressive chemotherapy agent. The dose-limiting toxicity was neutropenia with nadir at 7-21 days. This higher dosage was considered safe in combination with prednisolone and L-asparaginase. However, the higher dose of oral cyclophosphamide has not been evaluated in combination with other chemotherapy agents and thus should not be administered with these agents.

Abstract
The outcomes of rheumatic diseases (RDs) have improved over the past decades. However, a significant proportion of the patients still suffer from end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and have to bear the burden of hemodialysis. It is crucial to prevent patients with RDs from developing ESRD from viewpoints of medicine and medical economics. For those who already have ESRD, it is important to improve vial prognosis and quality of life through appropriate management of disease activity and comorbidities related to ESRD. Thus, rheumatologists and nephrologists need to recognize risk factors associated with progression to ESRD along with their appropriate management. Although the activity of most RDs tends to decrease after initiation of hemodialysis, disease activity may still increase, and recognizing how to appropriately use immunosuppressive agents even after the development of ESRD is crucial. The treatment of RDs needs extra attention as hydroxychloroquine requires more frequent monitoring for adverse drug reactions; therapeutic drug monitoring is necessary for mycophenolate mofetil, cyclosporine A, and tacrolimus; cyclophosphamide and azathioprine need dose adjustments; methotrexate and bucillamine are contraindicated in patients with ESRD; leflunomide and sulfasalazine do not require significant dose reduction and iguratimod should be carefully administered. The pharmacokinetics of biological agents such as rituximab or belimumab are not affected by ESRD, and dose adjustments are not necessary. Collaboration between rheumatologists and nephrologists is needed more than ever and is expected to produce a complementary effect and achieve better outcomes in clinical settings, although this cooperation has not always been conducted appropriately.

[PMID: 30947665 PMCID: PMC6700602 DOI: 10.2174/1389200220666190402143125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2018] [Revised: 02/27/2019] [Accepted: 03/11/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Background: Evidence has revealed that renal impairment can affect the systemic exposure of drugs which are predominantly eliminated via the liver. The modulation of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters expressed in the liver and/or small intestine by diverse entities, including uremic toxins, in systemic circulation of patients with severe renal failure is considered as the cause of atypical pharmacokinetics, which sometimes induce undesirable adverse events that are especially critical for drugs with narrow therapeutic window such as anticancer drugs. A dosing strategy for anticancer drugs in these patients needs to be established. Methods: The effects of renal impairment on the systemic exposure and safety of anticancer drugs were summarized. The proposed mechanisms for the alterations in the pharmacokinetics of these anticancer drugs were also discussed. Results: Changes in pharmacokinetics and clinical response were reported in 9 out of 10 cytotoxic anticancer drugs investigated, although available information was limited and sometimes controversial. Systemic exposure of 3 out of 16 tyrosine kinase inhibitors was higher in patients with severe renal failure than that in patients with normal kidney function. An increase in systemic exposure of anticancer drugs in patients with renal impairment is likely to be observed for substrates of OATP1B1, despite the limited evidence. Conclusion: The molecular basis for the effect of uremia on non-renal drug elimination still needed to be clarified with further studies to generate generalizable concepts, which may provide insights into establishing better clinical usage of anticancer drugs, i.e. identifying patients at risk and dose adjustment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A treatment strategy is needed for hemodialysis-dependent patients with end-stage renal disease who have relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We examined the feasibility of salvage chemotherapy followed by autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) and busulfan as a conditioning regimen. PATIENTS AND METHODS We provided a patient with refractory DLBCL who was receiving hemodialysis with modified salvage chemotherapies that were based on the mechanism of drug pharmacokinetics and an evaluation of the pharmacokinetics of busulfan. After chemotherapy, the patient underwent ASCT. RESULTS The regimen was successfully administered without adverse events. CONCLUSION Chemotherapy followed by ASCT using a conditioning regimen of reduced melphalan and pharmacokinetically targeted busulfan is a promising strategy for treating patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL who also have end-stage renal disease and are receiving hemodialysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the role that infections play on the antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) outcome. METHODS A retrospective study of adult patients with AAV diagnosed in a tertiary center. Clinical features, laboratory findings, treatment, relapses, major infections, and outcome were evaluated. RESULTS Included were 132 patients [51 microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), 52 granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), 29 eosinophilic GPA (EGPA)] with a mean followup of 140 (96-228) months. ANCA were positive in 85% of cases. A total of 300 major infections, mainly bacterial (85%), occurred in 60% patients during the followup. Lower respiratory tract (64%) and urinary tract infections (11%) were the most frequent, followed by bacteremia (10%). A total of 7.3% opportunistic infections were observed, most due to systemic mycosis. Up to 46% of all opportunistic infections took place in the first year of diagnosis, and 55% of them under cyclophosphamide (CYC) treatment. Bacterial infections were associated with Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (version 3) > 15 at the disease onset, a total cumulative CYC dose > 8.65 g, dialysis, and development of leukopenia during the followup. Leukopenia was the only factor independently related to opportunistic infections. Forty-four patients died, half from infection. Patients who had major infections had an increased mortality from any cause. CONCLUSION Our results confirm that major infections are the main cause of death in patients with AAV.

Abstract
Ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3), which comprises Panax ginseng, is commonly used to improve the immunocompetence of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. This study was designed to elucidate the immunoenhancement effects of Rg3 in immunosuppressed mice induced by cyclophosphamide (CTX) treatment. Balb/c mice were administered Rg3 intragastrically once daily for 19 consecutive days and were intraperitoneally administered CTX (80 mg/kg) on days 15-19. Weight and immune organ indices were recorded. Hematological tests and cytokines were assessed using ELISA. We measured the activity of LDH and ACP, performed pathological and immunohistochemical staining of immune organs, and evaluated cytokines and transcription factors using RT-PCR. Immunosuppressed mice showed weight loss, decreased thymus and spleen indices and severe pathological damage. CTX attenuated macrophage phagocytosis by decreasing activity of LDH and ACP and decreased the release of related immune factors, IgG, IL-2 and G-CSF. Subsequently, we observed T lymphocyte expression on the surface of the thymus and spleen, which inhibited T cell activity. Further mechanistic analysis showed that CTX decreased the expression of T-bet and IFN-γ and increased the expression of GATA-3 and IL-4 in the thymus and spleen, which affected the Th1/Th2 balance. However, Rg3 treatment reversed CTX-induced immunosuppression. In summary, all the results suggest that Rg3 has protective effects on CTX-induced immunosuppression, which could be partially related to macrophages, T cells and Th1/Th2 balance. Although deeper studies of its mechanism are needed, these findings support the hypothesis that Rg3 can improve the reduced immunocompetence after CTX injury.

Abstract
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) remains until now the only curative modality for hematological manifestations in patients with Fanconi anemia (FA). The doses of alkylating agents used in the conditioning of this patient population before HCT are usually significantly decreased due to the genomic instability of the FA cells. FA patients with renal impairment represent a dilemma because of the need to further modify the conditioning regimen according to the degree of renal impairment to avoid additional toxicity. At our institution, we successfully transplanted three FA patients using an ultra-modified regimen.

Abstract
Cyclophosphamide is an alkylating agent used as chemotherapy for cats with lymphoma, carcinomas and sarcomas. Clinical and pharmacokinetic studies of cyclophosphamide in normal and tumor-bearing cats have shown minimal toxicity and cyclophosphamide at clinically used dosages rarely requires dosage adjustment or treatment delays. Dose intensity appears important for treatment of most cancers; the aim of this study was to perform a modified dose escalation study of cyclophosphamide to establish the maximally tolerated dosage (MTD) for intravenous cyclophosphamide in cats. The dose limiting toxicity appeared to be neutropenia, and 30% of cats experienced grade 3 or grade 4 neutropenia at a cyclophosphamide dosage of 480mg/m2, which was determined as the MTD. Delayed neutropenia was observed commonly at higher dosages. Thrombocytopenia was less common than neutropenia, and always transient. Gastrointestinal toxicities were uncommon even at MTD. The recommended dosage for single agent cyclophosphamide in cats is 460mg/m2 with a post-treatment interval of three weeks, with hematology performed before any subsequent chemotherapy is administered. This dosage appears safe in combination with prednisolone and l-asparaginase; but has not been evaluated in combination with other chemotherapy agents, or with a post-treatment interval shorter than 3 weeks. Such combinations and shorter intervals are found in some protocols, so this recommended cyclophosphamide dose cannot be considered a direct substitute for cyclophosphamide dosages in existing protocols. There is a suggestion that inadequate renal function may exacerbate the myelosuppression of cyclophosphamide which should be further evaluated.

Abstract
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) is the most common cause of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. ANCAs play an important role in the pathogenesis and diagnosis of AAV. The classic renal lesion in AAV is a pauci-immune necrotizing and crescentic glomerulonephritis. Treatment is divided into 2 phases: (1) induction of remission to eliminate disease activity and (2) maintenance of remission to prevent disease relapse. AAV patients with end-stage renal disease require modification of immunosuppressive strategies and consideration for kidney transplantation. An improved understanding of disease pathogenesis has led to new treatment strategies being tested in clinical trials.

Abstract
Diffuse alveolar haemorrhage (DAH) secondary to anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a rare life-threatening condition presenting with severe respiratory failure. The management of AAV-related DAH consists of remission induction immunosuppressive therapy, which requires time to be effective, with significant fatality rates despite appropriate treatment. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can support gas exchanges providing the time necessary for immunosuppressive treatment to control the underlying disease in cases refractory to the conventional ventilation techniques. Despite severe preexisting bleeding has been considered a relative contraindication, ECMO has proven to be life-saving in several cases of respiratory failure associated with pulmonary haemorrhage due to various causes, including AAV. We reviewed the clinical presentation and course of two patients affected by AAV-related DAH treated at our Institution between 2012 and 2017, whose management required the use of veno-venous ECMO. We reviewed the current literature on the role of ECMO in the support of these patients. In both patients, ECMO provided life support and allowed disease control, in combination with immunosuppressive treatment. Despite systemic anticoagulation, clinical improvement was achieved without exacerbation of the pulmonary bleeding. We performed a literature review, and summarized available data confirming the effectiveness and safety of ECMO in AAV-related DAH. ECMO has a life-saving role in the management of patients with severe respiratory failure due to ANCA-associated pulmonary capillaritis.

Abstract
Kidney disease is an increasingly common comorbidity that alters the pharmacokinetics of many drugs. Prescribing to patients with kidney disease requires knowledge about the drug, the extent of the patient's altered physiology, and pharmacokinetic principles that influence the design of dosing regimens. There are multiple physiologic effects of impaired kidney function, and the extent to which they occur in an individual at any given time can be difficult to define. Although some guidelines are available for dosing in kidney disease, they may be on the basis of limited data or not widely applicable, and therefore, an understanding of pharmacokinetic principles and how to apply them is important to the practicing clinician. Whether kidney disease is acute or chronic, drug clearance decreases, and the volume of distribution may remain the same or increase. Although in CKD, these changes progress relatively slowly, they are dynamic in AKI, and recovery is possible depending on the etiology and treatments. This, and the use of kidney replacement therapies further complicate attempts to quantify drug clearance at the time of prescribing and dosing in AKI. The required change in the dosing regimen can be estimated or even quantitated in certain instances through the application of pharmacokinetic principles to guide rational drug dosing. This offers an opportunity to provide personalized medical care and minimizes adverse drug events from either under- or overdosing. We discuss the principles of pharmacokinetics that are fundamental for the design of an appropriate dosing regimen in this review.

Abstract
High cut-off (HCO) haemodialysis removes free light chains in patients with multiple myeloma. This is possible as HCO dialysers allow clearance of molecules up to a molecular weight of 65 kDa. In contrast, high-flux dialysers, which are used in routine haemodialysis, only remove molecules up to a molecular weight of 20 kDa. Even though patients with advanced myeloma frequently need dialysis and alkylating agents, drug dosing recommendations in this patient population are scarce at best or absent as for cyclophosphamide dosing in patients with myeloma undergoing HCO dialysis. Therefore, we aimed to determine pharmacokinetics of cyclophosphamide in a 52-year-old man (height 172 cm, weight 80 kg) with cast nephropathy. Intermittent 4-hour haemodialysis was started ~6 hours after the end of a 70 min cyclophosphamide infusion containing 1700 mg of this drug. Blood/dialysate flow rates were 300/500 mL/hour, respectively. Peak concentration of cyclophosphamide was 24.7 mg/L. Using HCO dialysis, plasma concentration of cyclophosphamide decreased from 10.8 mg/L to 3.7 mg/L during the treatment. The calculated whole blood dialyser clearance was 166 mL/min. HCO dialysis led to a marked decrease of cyclophosphamide resulting in a a 50% reduction in half-life as compared with the half-life before dialysis. This removal has to be accounted for in dosing cyclophosphamide.

Abstract
Background The overall risk of some cancers is increased in patients receiving regular dialysis treatment due to chronic oxidative stress, a weakened immune system and enhanced genomic damage. These patients could benefit from the same antineoplastic treatment delivered to patients with normal renal function, but a better risk/benefit ratio could be achieved by establishing specific guidelines. Key considerations are which chemotherapeutic agent to use, adjustment of dosages and timing of dialysis in relation to the administration of chemotherapy. Methods We have reviewed available data present in the literature, including recommendations and expert opinions on cancer risk and use of chemotherapeutic agents in patients with end-stage renal disease. Experts selected by the boards of the societies provided additional information which helped greatly in clarifying some issues on which clear-cut information was missing or available data were conflicting. Results Data on the optimal use of chemotherapeutic agents or on credible schemes of polychemotherapy in haemodialysed patients are sparse and mainly derive from case reports or small case series. However, recommendations on dosing and timing of dialysis can be proposed for the most prescribed chemotherapeutic agents. Discussion The use of chemotherapeutic agents as single agents, or in combination, can be safely given in patients with end-stage renal disease. Appropriate dosage adjustments should be considered based on drug dialysability and pharmacokinetics. Coordinated care between oncologists, nephrologists and pharmacists is of pivotal importance to optimise drug delivery and timing of dialysis.

Abstract
A 26-year-old man highly suspected of having antiglomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease was treated with corticosteroid pulse therapy 9 days after initial infection-like symptoms with high procalcitonin value. The patient required hemodialysis the next day of the treatment due to oliguria. In addition to corticosteroid therapy, plasmapheresis was introduced and the patient could discontinue hemodialysis 43 days after the treatment. Kidney biopsy after initiation of hemodialysis confirmed anti-GBM disease with 86.3% crescent formation. Physician should keep in mind that active anti-GBM disease shows even high procalcitonin value in the absence of infection. To pursue recovery of renal function, the challenge of the immediate and persistent treatment with high-dose corticosteroids plus plasmapheresis for highly suspected anti-GBM disease is vitally important despite the presence of reported predictors for dialysis-dependence including oliguria and requiring hemodialysis at presentation.

Abstract
Cyclophosphamide is an alkylating agent widely used for the treatment of malignant neoplasia and which can be used in the treatment of multiple rheumatic diseases. Medication administration errors may lead to its reduced efficacy or increased drug toxicity. Many errors occur in the administration of injectable drugs. The present study aimed at structuring a routine for cyclophosphamide use, as well as creating a document with pharmacotherapeutic guidelines for the patient. The routine is schematized in three phases: pre-chemotherapy, administration of cyclophosphamide, and post-chemotherapy, taking into account the drugs to be administered before and after cyclophosphamide in order to prevent adverse effects, including nausea and hemorrhagic cystitis. Adverse reactions can alter laboratory tests; thus, this routine included clinical management for changes in white blood cells, platelets, neutrophils, and sodium, including cyclophosphamide dose adjustment in the case of kidney disease. Cyclophosphamide is responsible for other rare - but serious - side effects, for instance, hepatotoxicity, severe hyponatremia and heart failure. Other adverse reactions include hair loss, amenorrhea and menopause. In this routine, we also entered guidelines to post-chemotherapy patients. The compatibility of injectable drugs with the vehicle used has been described, as well as stability and infusion times. The routine aimed at the rational use of cyclophosphamide, with prevention of adverse events and relapse episodes, factors that may burden the health care system.

Abstract
PURPOSE CALGB 49907 showed the superiority of standard therapy, which included either cyclophosphamide/doxorubicin (AC) or cyclophosphamide/methotrexate/fluorouracil over single-agent capecitabine in the treatment of patients age ≥ 65 with early-stage breast cancer. The treatment allowed dosing adjustments of methotrexate and capecitabine for pretreatment renal function. The purpose of the current analysis was to assess the relationship between pretreatment renal function and five end points: toxicity, dose modification, therapy completion, relapse-free survival, and overall survival. METHODS Pretreatment renal function was defined as creatinine clearance (CrCl) using the Cockcroft-Gault equation. Multivariable logistic and proportional hazards regression were used to model separately for each regimen the relationship between CrCl and the first three binary end points and the last two time-to-event end points, respectively, after adjusting for variables of prognostic importance. RESULTS Six hundred nineteen assessable patients were analyzed. The incidence of stage III (moderate) or stage IV (severe) renal dysfunction was 72%, 64%, and 75% for treatment with cyclophosphamide/methotrexate/fluorouracil, AC, and capecitabine, respectively. There was no relationship for any regimen between pretreatment renal function and the five end points. For AC, as CrCl increased, the odds of nonhematologic toxicity decreased (P = .008), whereas for capecitabine, as CrCl increased, the odds of experiencing toxicity of any type also increased (P = .035). Patients with renal insufficiency who received dose modifications were not at increased risk for complications compared with those who did not have renal insufficiency and received a full dose. CONCLUSION Excluding from clinical trials patients with renal insufficiency but good performance status on the basis of concern of excessive hematologic toxicity or poor outcomes may not be justified with appropriate dosing modifications. Results should be considered in the design of clinical trials for older patients.

Abstract
FA is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by small stature and renal abnormalities. FA can lead to progressive bone marrow failure, myelodysplastic syndrome, or acute leukemia. Using a multidisciplinary team approach, we managed a 3-yr-old boy with FA who simultaneously developed renal and hematopoietic failure. Because renal function was insufficient to support the conditioning regimen for HCT, we performed a deceased donor renal transplant in December 2012 prior to HCT with the known risk of graft-versus-graft rejection of the donor kidney. Seven months later he underwent allogeneic HCT. He obtained myeloid engraftment on day +11 and peripheral blood chimerism demonstrated all donor by day +21. He developed asymptomatic CMV reactivation and despite antirejection medications, mild skin graft-versus-host disease. He has maintained excellent renal function and remains transfusion independent with full hematopoietic recovery. He has not experienced any renal rejection episodes nor developed donor-specific antibodies toward his renal donor. Peripheral blood chimerism remains completely HCT donor. He is clinically well, now greater than two and a half yr after renal transplant and two yr after HCT. The continuing close collaboration between the Pediatric Nephrology and Bone Marrow Transplant teams is a major factor in this successful outcome.
