Abstract

The nephrotoxicity of cancer chemotherapy varies from mild serum creatinine level elevation to end stage kidney failure depending on the type and dosage of the drug. Saline-based hydration confer protection against chemotherapy-induced nephrotoxicity. The mortality and morbidity rates can be decreased by preventing the chemotherapy-induced nephrotoxicity. In this compilation, we aimed evaluating the mechanisms of chemotherapy induced nephrotoxicity of the most frequently observed cancer drugs and kidney disorder depending on chemotherapy.
