title: Platinum nephrotoxicity.
abstract: Platinum coordination complexes have recently been introduced in cancer chemotherapy with considerable success. However, significant nephrotoxicity has emerged as a factor that limits the therapeutic usefulness of these compounds. In this article we review the available knowledge on platinum nephrotoxicity and its prevention that has been derived from both toxicologic studies in animals and clinical trials in human subjects.
