Oxaliplatin
Platinum based Alkylating agents
MECHANISM OF ACTION
Blocks DNA production forming cross-links in DNA resulting in cell arrest/apoptosis/Excreted in urine
MECHANISM OF KIDNEY INJURY
ATN (Acute tubular necrosis), ATIN (Acute tubulointerstitial nephritis), TMA (thrombotic microangiopathy) (systemic/kidney limited), Water/electrolyte disturbances
CLINICAL KIDNEY SYNDROME
AKI, Proteinuria/Albuminuria, Rhabdomyolysis
CARDIOVASCULAR ADVERSE EFFECTS
third-degree atrioventricular block (case report) -PMID: 35833185 - Coronary artery vasospam (PMID: 21686854, PMID: 21969496)
LYTE ABNORMALITIES
Hypokalemia, Hypomagnesemia, Elevated BUN
RISK FACTORS
Pre existing kidney injury, old age, volume depletion
MITIGATION STRATEGIES
Maintaining euvolemia, correction of electrolytes, avoiding concomitant use of other nephrotoxic agents.
SUGGESTIONS
Hold offending drug and rechallenge after AKI/proteinuria resolves, Volume expansion, Check UA with urine culture, Check urine analysis for cyrstals, WBC, RBC, etc, Check urine protein creatinine ratio, Check TMA work up (send haptoglobin, peripheral smear, LDH), Dose adjustment (details in notes section below)
NOTES/COMMENTS
eGFR 30-59 ml/min, full dose
eGFR < 30 ml/min, reduce dose of 65mg/m2 or if curative can consider full dose.
