Abstract
Cis-Dichlorodiammine Platinum (DDP) is an effective anticancer agent that changes the natural history of many tumours, especially testicular carcinoma. However, its use in the treatment of several kinds of solid tumours has been restricted by a high renal toxicity incidence (1–3) . Acute or chronic DDP administration in experimental models have shown an important reduction on glomerular filtration rate but, the pathophysiological mechanism of this acute renal failure (ARF) is unclear.
