title: Renal handling of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II).
abstract: The renal handling of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin) was investigated by measuring the renal clearance of creatinine and free platinum (Pt). Free Pt clearance exceeded the glomerular filtration rate, indicating secretion of cisplatin or a metabolite. These results suggest that accumulation of Pt within renal tubular cells may be related to its nephrotoxicity.
