[Associations between Clinical Factors and Acute Renal Failure Due to Cisplatin Combination Chemotherapy for Lung Cancer].

In this study, we investigated the clinical factors associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) due to combination therapy with cisplatin (CDDP) for treating lung cancer. We classified cases according to the presence or absence of adequate hydration and magnesium(Mg)administered above the regulations of the registered regimen to evaluate the effect due to differences in hydration on AKI. We also investigated clinical factors before and after administration of CDDP in each case group, and examined their association with AKI.
