Dasatinib is the second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor used in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia. Proteinuria has been reported with this agent. We describe two kidney biopsy–proven cases of dasatinib-induced thrombotic microangiopathy that responded to stoppage of dasatinib and using an alternate tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Certain specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors lead to endothelial injury and renal-limited thrombotic microangiopathy. Hematologists and nephrologists need to be familiar with this off-target effect of dasatinib.
