SummaryMonoclonal agents have been developed to specifically target cancer cells but they can have systemic adverse effects which can be life-threatening, particularly infusion reactions, immunosuppression, tumour lysis syndrome, profound hypertension, cardiac failure and haematological toxicity.

SummaryDrug-induced haemolytic anaemia is a rare adverse effect. Drugs implicated include &bgr;-lactam antibiotics, co-trimoxazole, ciprofloxacin, fludarabine, lorazepam and diclofenac. Men with G6PD deficiency are at greater risk of developing drug-induced haemolytic anaemia with a greater range of drugs.

SummaryDrug-induced hypokalaemia is common in therapeutic dose and overdose. It arises via several mechanisms that can be simply divided based on urine potassium excretion rate. When the urinary potassium excretion is low, drugs can induce hypokalaemia by acute transcellular potassium shift (&bgr;2-adrenergic agonists, insulin, thyroxine, calcium-channel blockers, thiopental sodium, chloroquine), gastrointestinal tract potassium loss (laxatives, drug-induced diarrhoea and vomiting, cation-exchange resin), or former renal potassium wasting (diuretics ‘off’ action). The drugs that induce hypokalaemia because of high urine potassium excretion rate can cause excessive mineralocorticoid effects (hydrocortisone, licorice), or renal tubular defects with either metabolic alkalosis (diuretics, antibiotics with nonreabsorbale anions, aminoglycoside, cisplatin) or metabolic acidosis (carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, antiretrovirals, antifungal drugs, aristolochic acid, chemotherapy). The management of drug-induced hypokalaemia incorporates assessment of the onset and degree of hypokalaemia, cessation of the culprit drug, consideration of potassium replacement, assessment of the risk of potassium therapy, and management of associated illness. Early recognition of drug-induced hypokalaemia with prompt management is still the key to avoid potential life-threatening complications.

Summary Drug-induced hyperkalemia is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Drugs can cause hyperkalemia by a variety of mechanisms including reduction in renal potassium excretion due to hypoaldosteronism, reduction in passive potassium excretion, increase in extracellular potassium shifts and increase in potassium supply. Patients most at risk are those with underlying disorders affecting potassium handling, such as chronic renal failure, and those taking a combination of drugs known to cause hyperkalemia.
