Glomerular filtration rate dynamics in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma during induction immunopolychemotherapy by A. S. Nozdricheva, I. B. Lysenko, N. K. Guskova, M. A. Konovalchik, A. A. Maslov, E. V. Shalashnaya

“…The study found that in patients with initially low GFR level, a further, even more pronounced decrease in GFR during pct is observed. at the same time, the absence of significant differences in GFR level depending on disease stage allows us to conclude that the leading role is not so much the stage of the disease and tumor volume, but rather the initial functional status of the kidneys in the development of renal dysfunction in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma during R-CHOP therapy.…”
