Gemcitabine associated retinopathy and nephropathy.
[cholangiocarcinoma]
To
report
a
case
of
presumed
gemcitabine-induced
retinopathy
and
nephropathy
.
Case
Report
.
Retrospective
chart
review
.
A
64
-
year
-old
woman
with
a
recent
diagnosis
of
metastatic
cholangiocarcinoma
presented
with
progressive
visual
loss
and
renal
failure
shortly
after
the
initiation
of
a
chemotherapy
regimen
which
included
gemcitabine
.
Clinical
examination
and
fluorescein
angiography
showed
findings
of
severe
retinal
ischemia
.
Although
gemcitabine
chemotherapy
has
been
reported
to
cause
a
Purtscher-like
retinopathy
,
we
propose
in
our
patient
a
gemcitabine-induced
vasculopathy
that
lead
to
significant
retinal
and
renal
ischemia
.
