Persistent hypokalemia in an acute lymphoblastic leukemia patient.
Nephrotoxicity is an important adverse effect of Amphotericin B, and although risk factors for nephrotoxicity in adults have been investigated, studies examining nephrotoxicity in the pediatric population are scarce. We describe case of 10 year old boy (CALLA - VE B cell ALL) who received conventional Amphotericin-B, but he persisted with hypokalemia.
