Introduction: Methotrexate (MTX) is the most generally administered antimetabolite in pediatric cancers. Renal excretion is the major route of elimination of MTX. However, renal toxicity and delayed MTX elimination is a particular concern and direct serum MTX concentration is a gold standard for renal toxicity monitoring. However, checking plasma MTX concentrations in most oncology institutions is not always possible especially in less developed countries. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to further assess the renal function after administration of high-dose MTX by parameters such as serum creatinine and Cr clearance rate. Patients and Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive analytic study. The study was conducted on children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and osteosarcoma receiving high doses MTX. Patients’ age was ranged from 5 to 16 years. Serum MTX concentration and serum Cr were measured at 24, 48 and 96 hours after receiving MTX and then Cr clearance calculated based on available formulas. All the statistical analyses were done by SPSS 20.0 statistical software Results: This study was performed on 4 patients with osteosarcoma, 3 patients with leukemia and one patient with lymphoma. MTX concentration reduced significantly during 96 hours (P |
