  • Title: Successful use of combined high cut-off haemodialysis and bortezomib for acute kidney injury associated with myeloma cast nephropathy.
    Author: Ward F, Dunne O, Crotty TB, Fennelly D, Watson A, Holian J.
    Journal: Ir Med J; 2012 May; 105(5):148-9. PubMed ID: 22803494.
    Abstract:
    We present the case of a 58-year old female with de novo dialysis-dependent acute kidney injury (AKI) secondary to myeloma cast nephropathy. The patient underwent extended high cut-off haemodialysis (HCO-HD), in conjunction with bortezomib-based chemotherapy, and soon became dialysis independent with normal renal function. To our knowledge, this is the first time this treatment strategy has been employed successfully in an Irish centre.
