Excerpt

Background: Drug induced renal (nephrotoxicity) or urinary diseases are relatively common complications of several diagnostic and therapeutic agents. Drug-induced nephrotoxicity (DIN) is a significant source of morbidity and mortality in hospital setting. DIN accounts for nearly 7% of all drugs toxicity and up to 29% of all cases of acute renal failure in hospitals. [1,2]
