How Can Nephrotoxicity be Prevented in Cancer Patients?
Preventive measures include:
Hydration: Ensuring adequate fluid intake before, during, and after chemotherapy. Drug Modification: Adjusting the dose or switching to less nephrotoxic alternatives. Monitoring: Regular monitoring of kidney function through blood and urine tests. Protective Agents: Using nephroprotective agents like amifostine.
Working closely with healthcare providers to implement these strategies can significantly reduce the risk of nephrotoxicity.
