摘要

Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is increasingly used as an immunosuppressant for organ transplantation and for treatment of autoimmune diseases. As yet, the experience with acute overdose of MMF in humans is limited. Herein we have reported a 40-year-old female kidney recipient with moderate leukopenia and lack of gastrointestinal toxicity following ingestion of 25 g MMF, which was confirmed by serum drug levels. We treated the patient with charcoal decontamination and oral cholestyramine. She recovered completely without sequelae.
