dc.description.abstractIntroduction Cetuximab, an anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody, often cause skin toxicity, most commonly acneiform rash. We present a rare case of glomerulonephritis associated with cetuximab therapy. Case Report A 58-year-old male patient recently completed cetuximab-based chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma. He presented with acute renal failure, anasarca edema and nephrotic proteinuria. The amount of protein in the 24-h urine test was over 15.6 grams. Management & Outcome The patient showed a dramatic improvement in renal function shortly after terminated of cetuximab therapy without immunosuppressive therapy. Discussion Therefore, drugs targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibody were thought to trigger nephrotic syndrome by causing glomerular damage. As a result, physicians using EGFR monoclonal inhibitors should be very careful about renal functions and proteinuria in patients.en_US
