Abstract
In this study, we investigate renal function and anaemia during imatinib treatment in patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia. The patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia with chronic phase who had been treated with only imatinib for 12 months at Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and Research Centre (New Delhi, India) were enrolled and prospectively analysed. The chronic renal impairment parameters, including estimated glomerular filtration rate and haemoglobin levels for anaemia from June 2020 to June 2022, were monitored in newly diagnosed in patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia-chronic phase. The data were analysed by SPSS software version 22. In total 55 patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia chronic phase who had been on imatinib for 12 months were monitored. The mean estimated glomerular filtration rate was significantly decreased (74 ± 14 to 59 ± 12 mL/min/1.73m2, p < 0.001) with a decrease in mean haemoglobin levels after 12 months (10.9 ± 2.01 to 9.0 ± 1.02, p < 0.004). The decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate was negatively correlated with haemoglobin levels after 1 year of imatinib administration (correlation coefficient = 0.892, R2 = 0.7976, p < 0.05). We recommended close monitoring of renal function and haemoglobin levels in patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia patients.
