Aminoglycoside-associated severe renal failure in patients with multiple myeloma treated with thalidomide

Leukemia & Lymphoma

Abstract

Thalidomide has been proved to play an important role in rescue treatment of patients with refractory/relapsed multiple myeloma (MM). However, thalidomide therapy is associated with numerous side effects, mainly somnolence, constipation, fatigue or peripheral neuropathy. We report three patients diagnosed with MM and treated with thalidomide as salvage therapy who developed severe renal failure when they received aminoglycoside antibiotics. This observation suggests that thalidomide can potentiate nephrotoxicity of aminoglycoside antibiotics in patients with MM.
