Cyclic PDT with 5-aminolevulinic acid may reduce the incidence of SCC in SOTRs. Additional studies with larger numbers of patients and optimized protocols are necessary to further explore the potential benefits of cyclic PDT in the prevention of skin cancer in this high-risk patient population.
as ACEI and furosemide should warrant periodic assessment of renal function, particularly serum creatinine. In such conditions if renal failure goes unrecognized, toxicity of drugs excreted through the kidneys can be more fatal than renal failure itself and can occur even without elevated levels of the drugs in the serum.
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.
