A case of dasatinib-induced focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in a patient with Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myeloid leukemia.
2021
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is a common glomerular histological lesion, which is usually characterised by non-nephrotic range proteinuria or nephrotic syndrome. It may be idiopathic or occurs secondarily to drugs, diabetes, obesity or HIV nephropathy and other infections. Dasatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has been used for the treatment of Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia, has a few renal adverse effects. Exceptional cases with non-nephrotic range proteinuria have been reported in relation with dasatinib. In this case, we report a patient with symptoms of nephrotic syndrome and nephrotic range proteinuria, who was diagnosed as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis by kidney biopsy after treated with dasatinib.
