When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Renal toxicity such as oliguria/anuria and elevated BUN and serum creatinine has been reported in > 60% of patients during aldesleukin therapy. Renal toxicity is generally reversible, however, patients with renal impairment are at increased risk for more severe and prolonged renal dysfunction. Therapy with aldesleukin should be administered cautiously in patients with compromised renal function. Clinical monitoring of renal function is recommended. When adverse events occur that require dosage modification, dosages should be withheld rather than reduced. Subsequent treatment with aldesleukin is contraindicated in patients experiencing renal dysfunction that requires greater than seventy-two hours of dialysis.
