Effects and Limitations of Naldemedine for Opioid-Induced Urinary Retention: A Case Report.
Journal of Palliative Medicine 2023 June 22
A 78-year-old man with postoperative recurrence of esophageal cancer was admitted to the hospital due to chest pain and dyspnea. Oral short-acting opioids provided some relief, but chest pain persisted and worsened, leading to the initiation of a transdermal fentanyl patch. However, the patient developed opioid-induced urinary retention, which was treated with a naldemedine, a medication used for opioid-induced constipation and urinary retention. Opioid switching led to recurrent urinary retention, requiring placement of a urinary catheter. The patient ultimately required continuous deep sedation for refractory symptoms and died several days later.
