This study looks at how cisplatin chemotherapy affects the kidneys. It may help doctors better predict and protect against kidney damage when patients start cisplatin.
This trial tests whether taking N-acetylcysteine (NAC, a common supplement) can help protect your kidneys during cisplatin-based chemotherapy. It may reduce the risk of kidney damage often caused by this strong cancer drug.
This study tests whether a medicine called cilastatin can prevent kidney damage caused by certain strong medications. If you are receiving one of these medications and are at risk for kidney injury, this trial may offer protection.
This trial tests whether injecting aminophylline (a medication that relaxes muscles) into the bladder can help doctors place a stent (small tube) to relieve a blocked ureter caused by a kidney stone. The goal is to improve kidney function when one kidney is blocked and not working.
This trial is testing whether giving amino acids after heart surgery can help prevent kidney injury in children at high risk. If it works, it could offer a simple way to protect kidney function during recovery.
This trial tests if taking N-acetylcysteine (NAC) can help prevent hearing loss caused by high-dose cisplatin chemotherapy. If you're getting cisplatin and are between 18 and 70, you may be able to join.
