Abstract
Ifosfamide, a cytotoxic antineoplastic drug, can induce rare complications of Fanconi syndrome and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (DI). Ifosfamide-induced Fanconi syndrome tends to occur in patients with certain risk factors including young age, high cumulative ifosfamide dose, and coadministration of cisplatin. Nephrogenic DI causes polyuria from impaired urinary concentrating ability due to resistance to arginine vasopressin (AVP) at the collecting duct. These complications are serious and potentially fatal. Here, we describe a case of a middle-aged man without risk factors who was admitted for the management of acute kidney injury and electrolyte derangements after his fourth cycle of chemotherapy including ifosfamide for synovial sarcoma. He was found to have hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia, renal glycosuria, and aminoaciduria, likely from Fanconi syndrome, which were managed by electrolyte replacement therapy. In addition, polyuria and hypernatremia were considered due to nephrogenic DI, which partially responded to desmopressin treatment. This case highlights the importance of the routine electrolytes monitoring after ifosfamide treatment.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Experimental Nephrology (CEN) Case Reports is a peer-reviewed online-only journal, officially published biannually by the Japanese Society of Nephrology (JSN). The journal publishes original case reports in nephrology and related areas. The purpose of CEN Case Reports is to provide clinicians and researchers with a forum in which to disseminate their personal experience to a wide readership and to review interesting cases encountered by colleagues all over the world, from whom contributions are welcomed.
