Abstract
Background
Conventional hydration (CH) in chemotherapy containing cisplatin (CDDP) has been recommended to prevent renal toxicity. Although an increasing number of studies have demonstrated the feasibility of short hydration (SH), few large studies have reported the superiority of SH, compared with CH, in terms of nephrotoxicities.
Methods
We conducted a consecutive retrospective analysis of 467 patients who had been treated with chemotherapy including CDDP. Statistical analyses were performed to evaluate the risk factors for nephrotoxicities. The following factors were included in the analyses: age, sex, performance status (PS), concomitant thoracic radiotherapy, CDDP dose, magnesium supplementation, baseline creatinine values and method of hydration.
Results
The patients’ characteristics were as follows: male/female, 323/144 patients; median age (range), 62 (27–69) years; PS 0/1/2/3, 238/217/10/2 patients and SH/CH, 111/356 patients. The proportion of patients requiring a CDDP dose reduction in the SH group was 6.3%, while that in the CH group was 12.9%. Patients who discontinued CDDP because of nephrotoxicities accounted for 0.9% of the patients in the SH group and 2.2% of the patients in the CH group. After CDDP-based chemotherapy, a creatinine increase of more than grade 1 was observed in 14.4% and 33.1% of the patients in the SH and CH groups, respectively. A logistic regression analysis revealed a significantly lower incidence of grade 1 or higher creatinine toxicity after the first cycle of chemotherapy in the SH group (OR, 0.20; 95% CI 0.06 to 0.63; p=0.006).
Conclusions
SH resulted in a significantly lower incidence of nephrotoxicity.
