Abstract | INTRODUCTION: PATIENTS AND METHODS: We analysed high-dose methotrexate prescription charts in 11 clinical centres during the last 15 years to identify and describe adult patients who developed acute kidney injury (according to KDIGO classification). Glucarpidase use was recorded (French temporary regulatory approval criteria: methotrexate at least 10μmol/L at 48h or at least 3μmol/L at 48h associated with acute kidney injury). RESULTS: Seventy-six acute kidney injury cases have been studied. Mean peak creatinine was 206μmol/L after a mean delay of 5.6 days, with 19 cases of stage 1 acute kidney injury (25%), 29 cases of stage 2 (38%) and 27 cases of stage 3 (36%). Anuria (one case) and need for renal replacement therapy (four cases) were unusual whereas fluid overload was often observed (29%). Three months after high-dose methotrexate treatment, mortality-rate was 17%, and 12% of surviving patients developed renal sequelae. CONCLUSION:
