Abstract
Setting out from the high prevalence of iatrogenic toxic effects on the kidney, the authors examine the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this toxicity, and suggest their classification. The principal pathophysiologic and clinical models of the action of various groups of drugs responsible for these effects are discussed.
