Pre-disposing Risk Factors and Renal Complications in Patients on Dasatinib and Ponatinib.

Drug Reference No. of patient Renal complication Pre-disposing factors Case or study background
Dasatinib Ozkurt [3] 1 Acute tubular necrosis None. Labs concerning for pre-renal azotemia 2/2 gastroenteritis so was ruled out as a possible cause of renal failure. Acute renal failure and gastroenteritis
Wallace [4] 1 Nephrotic syndrome None. Discussion includes possible effect of a soluble paraprotein 2/2 CML; cannot be fully ruled out as the cause. Proteinuria with a kidney biopsy showing chronic thrombotic microangiopathy.
Uz [6] 1 Acute renal failure 2/2 rhabdomyolysis Was initially non-compliant with imatinib. No other chronic diseases or medications that would predispose to rhabdomyolysis or renal failure. Rhabdomyolysis occurred shortly after the initiation of dasatinib therapy & CK levels normalized after withdrawal of dasatinib.
Kawaguchi [7] 1 Massive proteinuria associated with pleural effusion, ascites and HTN Started on ganciclovir for CMV right before renal event. Ph+ALL 8 year old female switched to dasatinib secondary to nausea, vomiting, diarrhea on imatinib.
Ochiai [8] 1 Nephrotic syndrome None Concluded that the main cause of nephrotic syndrome was dasatinib because only switch of the drug improved the patient's proteinuria.
De Luca ML [14] 1 Nephrotic range proteinuria with hypercholesteremia No comorbidities. She was initiated on dasatinib after initially treatment with hydroxyurea Resolution of proteinuria upon switching to imatinib
Ponatinib Amin SO [15] 1 Renovascular hypertension due to bilateral renal artery stenosis Smoking history (12 pack year history) and hypertriglyceridemia. Developed HTN 3 years after starting dasatinib. Responded to revascularization.
Hiremath S [16] 1 Elevated Cr 2/2 renovascular HTN 2/2 bilateral renal artery stenosis Responded to revascularization – renal function stabilized

2/2 = secondary to; CK = creatinine kinase; CMV = cytomegalovirus; Ph+ ALL= Philadelphia-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
