Among the most devastating effects of antineoplastic chemotherapy is nephrotoxicity. This article discusses the effects of plicamycin, methotrexate, mitomycin C, nitrosoureas, 5-azacytidine, cisplatin, ifosfamide, carboplatin, and gallium nitrate on kidney function when these drugs are used either alone or in combination with each other and/or other agents. The importance of adequate hydration during chemotherapy in preventing and reversing drug-induced nephrotoxicity is also discussed.
