How Can Nephritis be Prevented in Cancer Patients?
Preventive strategies for nephritis in cancer patients include careful selection and dosing of nephrotoxic drugs, adequate hydration, and regular monitoring of kidney function during treatment. Early identification and management of risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes can also help prevent kidney damage. In some cases, the use of protective agents such as amifostine may be considered to mitigate the nephrotoxic effects of certain chemotherapeutic agents.
