Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) has been described following the administration of multiple antineoplastic agents, most notably mitomycin C. More recently, several cases of gemcitabine-induced HUS have been observed with the overall incidence of gemcitabine-induced HUS estimated at 0.015-0.25%. We here report on four patients who developed HUS following gemcitabine therapy at our institution within the last year (incidence 1.4%). All these patients had advanced-stage disease, were heavily pretreated, and received prolonged gemcitabine application, suggesting that in this subgroup of patients HUS may be more frequently encountered than documented so far.
溶血性尿毒症综合征(HUS)已在多种抗肿瘤药物给药后被描述,最显著的是丝裂霉素C。最近,已观察到几例吉西他滨诱导的HUS病例,吉西他滨诱导的HUS总体发生率估计为0.015%-0.25%。我们在此报告去年在我们机构接受吉西他滨治疗后发生HUS的4例患者(发生率1.4%)。所有这些患者均为晚期疾病,接受过大量预处理,并长期应用吉西他滨,这表明在这一亚组患者中,HUS可能比迄今记录的更频繁地出现。
