Acute nephrotoxicity following cis-dichlorodiammine-platinum. 1982

J D Bitran, and R K Desser, and A A Billings, and M F Kozloff, and C M Shapiro

The effects of a single dose of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (DDP) on the kidney function were investigated in 14 patients with disseminated malignancy and normal renal function. A single dose of DDP (30-50 mg/m2) caused severe proximal tubular dysfunction with increased urinary losses of calcium, magnesium, and amino acids. Phosphate excretion was not affected. DDP can cause proximal tubular dysfunction and close attention must be paid to serum calcium and magnesium levels.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008274 Magnesium A metallic element that has the atomic symbol Mg, atomic number 12, and atomic weight 24.31. It is important for the activity of many enzymes, especially those involved in OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION.
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009369 Neoplasms New abnormal growth of tissue. Malignant neoplasms show a greater degree of anaplasia and have the properties of invasion and metastasis, compared to benign neoplasms.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.
