How Can Renal Toxicity be Prevented?

Several strategies can help minimize the risk of renal toxicity in cancer patients:
- Hydration: Adequate hydration before, during, and after chemotherapy can help flush out nephrotoxic agents.
- Dose Adjustment: Tailoring the dose of chemotherapeutic agents based on kidney function.
- Protective Agents: Use of nephroprotective agents like amifostine in patients receiving cisplatin.
- Monitoring: Regular monitoring of kidney function during treatment to detect early signs of toxicity.
- Alternative Therapies: Considering less nephrotoxic alternatives if possible.
