Nephrotoxicity refers to the toxic effects of substances on the kidneys, leading to impairment of kidney function. This research area focuses on studying the mechanisms by which various substances, such as medications, environmental toxins, and chemicals, can cause damage to the kidneys. Researchers investigate the impact of nephrotoxicity on kidney function, potential risk factors, methods for early detection, and strategies for prevention and treatment. Understanding nephrotoxicity is crucial for minimizing the risk of kidney damage and improving patient outcomes in clinical settings.
