SummaryIn this study, 26 patients were treated with 20 mg cisplatin (CP)/m2 body surface daily for 5 days as part of a combination therapy for testicular cancer. Simultaneously a vigorous hyperhydration (3000 ml daily) was applied to reduce the nephrotoxic effect induced by the drug, 131I-orthoiodohippurate clearance values obtained by the modified method of Oberhausen did not show any significant evidence of tubular dysfunction after therapy. These results may have been due to the vigorous hydration as well as to the youth of the patients.
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.
