“…This toxicity is probably due to the precipitation of MTX or its metabolites (7-hydroxy methotrexate) in the renal tubules causing obstruction and diminution of renal clearance with consequently prolongation of MTX high levels. MTX may also acts as a direct toxin on the tubular epithelium and causes vasoconstriction of the afferent arteriole [24].…”
