The use of sunitinib in dialysis patients is poorly described but is of clinical importance. We report 2 cases of patients receiving sunitinib for metastatic renal cell carcinoma while undergoing dialysis. The first patient is undergoing hemodialysis and, though responding to sunitinib, is having significant fatigue and hypertension. The second patient underwent peritoneal dialysis and also had significant problems with hypertension. The tolerance of sunitinib in the setting of dialysis can be challenging as these interventions can have synergistic side effects. Close monitoring for toxicity and dosage manipulations might be required if such therapy is attempted.
