Methotrexate nephrotoxicity.
The use of high dose methotrexate therapy in the treatment of malignant disease has been complicated by nephrotoxicity. Analysis of the basic physico-chemical properties of methotrexate has allowed the development of improved techniques of administering methotrexate, at high dose, which greatly reduces the incidence of nephrotoxicity.
