Chemotherapy-induced nephrotoxicity
Supplements studied for chemotherapy-induced nephrotoxicity.
Overview
Kidney protection during cisplatin chemotherapy has been tested with Milk Thistle, Selenium (with vitamins C and E), and Taurine, each in small single trials. Milk Thistle results are unclear from one pre- and during-chemotherapy study. A selenium-vitamin beverage did not prevent cisplatin nephrotoxicity in one trial with adherence problems.
Taurine twice daily reduced kidney and liver injury markers and lessened fatigue in one leukemia trial, suggesting possible protection, but replication in larger studies is needed. See the evidence reviews below for dosing and outcome detail.
