Unexpected outcome (positive or negative) including adverse drug reactions
CASE REPORT
Cisplatin-induced syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) with life-threatening hyponatraemia
Summary
We present a case of cisplatin-induced syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) in a patient with metastatic recurrent urothelial carcinoma. Cisplatin-induced SIADH is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening toxicity. Pharmacogenetic characteristics may result in different toxicity profiles in different populations. With such widespread use of cisplatin in a diverse range of cancers, prompt recognition is crucial to detect and prevent severe neurological sequelae.
