LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE AND RISK OF CISPLATIN NEPHROTOXICITY: A RETROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY

The pathophysiological mechanisms of cisplatin nephrotoxicity include the reduction of renal blood flow, as well as tubular epithelial cell toxicity. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of lower blood pressure and decreased food intake on the incidence of cisplatin nephrotox[r]
