pirarubicin and Kidney-Failure--Chronic

The patient was a 71-year-old woman. Two years ago right nephrectomy was performed by a general surgeon at the diagnosis of right renal cell carcinoma. However, the pathological report was transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the right renal pelvis, Grade II. She developed chronic renal failure and received hemodialysis once a week. The recurrence of bladder tumor was recognized and she was transferred to our hospital. Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-Bt) and right ureterectomy with a bladder cuff were performed. Also intravesical instillation of pirarubicin was done after the operation. No side effects or elevation of serum pirarubicin level were observed.
