Abstract
Although CDDP has been widely used for cancer chemotherapy in recent years, the problem is that it causes a renal dysfunction as a side effect. As briefly reported here, we have currently used this drug for the treatment of stomach esophageal cancers as a part of multidepartmental therapy, and obtained a finding on the therapeutic usefulness, particularly for monitoring the renal function before and after administration. The subjects were 6 patients with stomach and 11 with esophageal cancer given CDDP at the dose of 50 mg 2 courses, in principle, a single course per week. Blood transfusion was carried out in an amount of 1,000 ml before administration, 2,500 ml on the day of treatment and 1,000 ml for 3 days after administration. When the effects of CDDP on urinary BUN, Na, K, Cl, Mg, NAG, beta 2 microglobulin, Ccr and FENa levels were measured for the determination of renal functions before and after administration, NAG and beta 2 microglobulin levels were conceivably found to be useful indices.
