title: Assessment of renal function during high-dose cis-platinum therapy in patients with ovarian carcinoma.
abstract: Five courses of cis-dichlorodiammine platinum (II) (100 mg/m2) were given to 22 patients with advanced stage III and IV ovarian cancer. Renal function was assessed by measurement of creatinine clearance, urinary osmolality and urinary B2-microglobulin (B2MG) in all patients, and by urinary alanine aminopeptidase (AAP) and N-acetyl-B-glucosaminidase (NAG) excretion in seven patients. Serum creatinine, creatinine clearance, urinary osmolality, and urinary B2-microglobulin were within the reference ranges and did not change significantly after five courses of cis-platinum in any patient. There was a significant increase in the urinary excretion of both enzymes (AAP and NAG) within 2 days of cis-platinum administration (NAG P less than 0.05 and AAP P less than 0.07). There was evidence of a cumulative effect during treatment for AAP (P less than 0.025).
