A member asked:
Is neurogenic bladder a side effect of bortizomib in the treatment of of multiple myeloma ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Bortezomib, the proteosome inhibitor is licensed for use in multiple myeloma. It has also been used to treat antibody mediated transplant rejection. One side effect is peripheral neruopathy--about 10% of patients. One can speculate that the same mechanism can cause either a failure to emtpy or some urgency of urination. You would need a formal urodynamic assessment to determine this.
