Abstract Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have comorbidities have limited treatment options, thereby resulting in poor prognosis. Venetoclax, a specific B‐cell lymphoma‐2 inhibitor, has recently been approved for AML in combination with hypomethylating agents; however, only one report has described its use in patients undergoing dialysis. Herein, we report the effectiveness of combined venetoclax and azacitidine in a 73‐year‐old man with AML undergoing dialysis and who was ineligible for standard therapies. The safety of venetoclax and azacitidine in patients undergoing dialysis has been reported, and their combination may be a feasible option for patients with AML undergoing dialysis. |
