Use of Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin in setting of kidney or liver diseases

There is no clinical evidence that botulinum toxins such as Botox, Dysport or Xeomin is contraindicated in patients with kidney or liver diseases.

Botox and Kidney disease.

Since it takes greater than 2000 units to produce some type of body effect, the likelihood of the dose size used on the face affecting the kidney or other internal organs is non-existent. So you can feel safe using it to control the worry lines caused by the high price of dialysis.

I don't see any problem for you. But to be sure, consult your renal physician and also ask Allergan directly.

Botox injections in patients with history of kidney failure

As long as your nephrologist has no issues with you having Botox for cosmetic reasons, the number of units is very low and the effect localized to the muscle injected except for very rare instances, there should be a good possibility of a patient with kidney disease having safe Botox treatment.

Botox can be used in patients with liver disease

With cosmetic doses of Botox, almost all of the Botox injected in a particular area is permanently bound in tissue within the first 1-3 hours. There is no problem using it in patients with kidney disease.
