Summary

This study looked at whether a substance called cystatin C in urine can be a reliable early sign of kidney damage in children receiving chemotherapy drugs cisplatin or ifosfamide. Researchers measured cystatin C levels in 42 children during and after treatment. The goal was to find a simpler, less invasive way to monitor kidney health compared to current methods.
