Will Treanda And Rituxan Have An Impact On My Kidney Disease?
I am starting Treanda on Thursday. I have CLL and have received Rituxan over the past few years. Now my doctor thinks I need something more aggressive. I have kidney disease. My creatanine is 1.4. I have also had breast cancer and have had a lumpectomy. Will this treatment cause more damage to my kidneys or cause my breast cancer to return? guiles YYYY@YYYY

Hi, thank you for posting.
Treanda is a citostatice medicine, produced in Germany in '90.
Treanda combined with Rituxan will prevent cancer.
Its side effects are minimized and it is the best medicine in its kind.
As for the impact in kidneys, you don't have to worry because it has insignificant impact.
As for the creatanine level it is a little bit high, but it doesn't have any risk for your health.
