Background:Although methotrexate is highly bound to albumin, it is thought to be removed by hemodialysis and not by peritoneal dialysis. We are not aware of any direct comparison in the same patient. Case Report/Methods:A 60-year-old patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis was admitted to the East Alabama Medical Center for stomatitis and pancytopenia after being given 10 mg of methotrexate for his rheumatoid arthritis. Measurements of total methotrexate levels were made before…

The rate of MTX elimination was increased during haemodialysis, although high MTX concentrations persisted for several days and prolonged rescue with folinic acid was required, although low-dose MTX was given to a patient on regular haemmodialysis without evidence of toxicity.

Jv(L) is related to hypoalbuminaemia and mortality after PD initiation, and it is suggested that peritoneal albumin loss can have an identical pathogenic effect as urinary albumin losses, by causing an iatrogenic "nephrotic" syndrome.

A kinetic study of plasma methotrexate concentrations enabled the authors to begin treatment with high-permeability membrane haemodialysis combined with intensive folic acid loading before the clinical signs of iatrogenic toxicities developed, and to continue with haemmodialysis rather than using other depurative methods.
