Özet
OBJECTIVE: To assess bladder toxicity of cyclophosphamide (CYC) and uroprotective effect of mesna in rheumatic diseases. METHODS: Data of 1018 patients (725 women/293 men) treated with CYC were evaluated in this retrospective study. All of the following information was obtained: the cumulative CYC dose, route of CYC administration, duration of therapy, concomitant mesna usage, and hemorrhagic cystitis. Cox proportional hazard model was used for statistics. RESULTS: We identified 17 patients (1.67%) with hemorrhagic cystitis and 2 patients (0.19%) with bladder cancer in 4224 patient-years. The median time for diagnosis to hemorrhagic cystitis was 10 months (4-48) and bladder cancer was 8 years (6-10.9). There were 583 patients (57.2%) who received mesna with intravenous CYC therapy. We observed similar incidence rate for hemorrhagic cystitis in both patient groups concomitantly treated with or without mesna [9/583 (1.5%) vs 8/425 (1.8%) respectively, p = 0.08]. Cumulative CYC dose (HR for 10-g increments 1.24, p < 0.001) was associated with hemorrhagic cystitis. CONCLUSION: Cumulative dose was the only risk factor for hemorrhagic cystitis in patients treated with CYC. No proof was obtained for the uroprotective effect of mesna in our cohort.
