Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors are used in the treatment of various cancers as well as diabetic retinopathy. The systemic use of these drugs has been associated with adverse effects such as worsening hypertension, proteinuria, and renal function. There have been some reported cases of worsening hypertension, thrombotic microangiopathy, or glomerular disease after intravitreal injections of bevacizumab, aflibercept, and ranibizumab. We present a case of a patient who was taking intravitreal bevacizumab injections for diabetic retinopathy and was hospitalized with worsening renal function, high blood pressure, and nephrotic-range proteinuria in the setting of tight glycemic control.
血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)抑制剂用于治疗各种癌症以及糖尿病性视网膜病变。这些药物的全身使用与诸如高血压恶化、蛋白尿和肾功能损害等不良反应相关。有一些报告称,玻璃体内注射贝伐单抗、阿柏西普和雷珠单抗后出现高血压恶化、血栓性微血管病或肾小球疾病的病例。我们报告一例患者,该患者因糖尿病性视网膜病变接受玻璃体内贝伐单抗注射治疗,在严格血糖控制的情况下,因肾功能恶化、高血压和肾病范围蛋白尿而住院。
