A 72-year-old male patient with rectal cancer received single-agent chemotherapy with capecitabine tablets (the dosage regimen was 1.5 g in the morning and 1.75 g in the evening, 2 week medication followed by 1 week discontinuation, 3 weeks was a cycle). On the second day after discontinuation of the third cycle of capecitabine, oliguria began and retching developed five days later. Laboratory tests showed serum creatinine 226 μmol·L-1, urea 14.40 mmol·L-1, and uric acid 601 μmol·L-1. The diagnosis of kidney injury was considered to be related to capecitabine tablets. Symptomatic treatment such as rehydration and kidney protection were given. Four days later, the symptoms above-mentioned in the patient were improved obviously, and on the 7th day after admission, his renal function index basically returned to normal.
