Abstract
Weekly cisplatin chemotherapy 25Â mg/m2 can be delivered safely in a haemodialysis patient. Dialysis is effective in eliminating platinum even if carried out more than 3Â h after infusion, but it should commence as soon as possible after cisplatin infusion, as the incidence of myelotoxicity is related to the peak platinum level.
