We present a Merkel-cell carcinoma patient with chronic renal failure
requiring haemodialysis and evaluate the pharmacokinetics of carboplatin
and etoposide during haemodialysis. The area under the concentration-time
curve of carboplatin was increased by prolonging the interval between
administration and haemodialysis. However, that of etoposide was not
changed. Carboplatin showed good membrane permeability in haemodialysis,
while etoposide showed no permeability. In conclusion, the pharmacokinetics
of carboplatin could be controlled by haemodialysis and the interval
between chemotherapy and haemodialysis. However, the pharmacokinetics of
etoposide were not affected. Keywords: carboplatin;
etoposide; haemodialysis patient; Merkel-cell carcinoma
