Methotrexate (MTX) toxicity occurs in approximately 2%–12% of patients receiving high-dose MTX and is most commonly characterized by acute kidney injury, hepatotoxicity, central nervous system disturbances, gastrointestinal irritation, and myelosuppression, among others (1). Given that approximately 90% of MTX is excreted by the kidney, renal dysfunction is often the driving cause of delayed clearance of MTX (1).
