medications and toxins

What are the signs of nephrotoxicity to watch for?

Signs of nephrotoxicity include decreased urine output, swelling in the legs and ankles, fatigue, nausea, and confusion. Laboratory tests may reveal elevated serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels, which are indicators of impaired kidney function. Early detection of these signs can prevent further renal damage.
