The efficacy of theophylline in preventing cisplatin-related nephrotoxicity in patients with cancer.

CONCLUSION: Results showed that urine NGAL level is a superior biomarker compared to serum creatinine and serum cystatin C in the detection of early AKI. Theophylline was found not to bring a complete protection for the kidneys, but less nephrotoxicity was developed when compared to the group not receiving theophylline.
