Abstract:
This report presents the case of an 8-year-old female with a history of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) treated with Deflux injections, who developed Ewing sarcoma metastasized to the lungs. Despite the initial resolution of VUR following Deflux procedures, recurrent urinary tract infections prompted further evaluation revealing significant ureteral obstruction. Pre-chemotherapy workup included renal ultrasonography, nuclear medicine renal scan, and cystogram, identifying obstructive uropathy necessitating bilateral ureteral stent placement. This discussion encompasses the challenges of managing VUR, Deflux complications, and the importance of tailored follow-up protocols.

Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...
Factors Affecting Renal Clearance: Renal Impairment
One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...
