Abstract
Background: The FLOT regimen, a combination of fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and docetaxel, is a standard treatment for gastric and esophagogastric junction cancers, but concerns exist about its potential renal toxicity. The exact prevalence and severity of renal toxicity need to be well documented, and this knowledge gap could impact the optimal use of the FLOT regimen in clinical practice. We aimed to evaluate the renal toxicity profile of the FLOT regimen with a specific focus on acute kidney disease (AKD) onset in a real-life setting and explore associated risk factors.
Methods: We conducted a multicenter retrospective study involving 96 patients treated with preoperatory FLOT. The incidence of AKD and potential risk factors were identified.
Results: AKD occurred in 3 patients (incidence rate of 0.0122 cases/month of follow-up). Oral antidiabetic agents and prostate hypertrophy emerged as significant predictors of AKD.
Conclusion: AKD is uncommon in patients treated with the preoperatory FLOT regimen. Our findings highlight the importance of diligent renal function monitoring and appropriate preventive strategies in patients undergoing FLOT treatment. These results encourage the conduction of further studies and clinical experience in larger populations and patients with lower baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate.
期刊介绍:
This journal comprises both clinical and basic studies at the interface of nephrology, hypertension and cardiovascular research. The topics to be covered include the structural organization and biochemistry of the normal and diseased kidney, the molecular biology of transporters, the physiology and pathophysiology of glomerular filtration and tubular transport, endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cell function and blood pressure control, as well as water, electrolyte and mineral metabolism. Also discussed are the (patho)physiology and (patho) biochemistry of renal hormones, the molecular biology, genetics and clinical course of renal disease and hypertension, the renal elimination, action and clinical use of drugs, as well as dialysis and transplantation. Featuring peer-reviewed original papers, editorials translating basic science into patient-oriented research and disease, in depth reviews, and regular special topic sections, ''Kidney & Blood Pressure Research'' is an important source of information for researchers in nephrology and cardiovascular medicine.
