Chlorambucil is an orally administered alkylating agent which is currently used in the therapy of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas, and rarely in severe autoimmune conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, uveitis and nephrotic syndrome. Chlorambucil therapy has been associated with low rates of serum enzyme elevations during therapy and to rare instances of acute, clinically apparent injury.
