Baclofen is a β-(p-chlorophenyl) derivative of the neurotransmitter y-aminobutyrio acid (GABA). This centrally-acting GABA agonist is prescribed as therapy for spasticity in the spinal cord region. The drug is predominantly excreted by the kidney, thus making patients with kidney disease susceptible to side effects. We report on a patient with end-stage renal disease who developed baclofen toxicity, which was successfully treated with intense hemodialysis.
