Abstract

Although reversibility of acute ifosfamide induced nephrotoxicity is well documented, there is a paucity of data concerning the long-term outcome of chronic renal toxicity, and full recovery from established damage has not been reported. A 4-year-old boy presented with hypophosphatemic rickets 9 months after completion of combination chemotherapy (including ifosfamide) for prostatic rhabdomyosarcoma. Further investigation confirmed glomerular and generalised tubular dysfunction with a Fanconi syndrome. However, serial investigation over the next 4 years revealed complete and sustained recovery of this chronic nephrotoxicity. (C) 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
