Further investigation is necessary to elucidate the reason for the difference in nephrotoxicity observed between the groups and to assess the impact of severity of illness and dosing/administration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
