Abstract
A 43-year-old male patient who had an advanced stage of nasopharyngeal
carcinoma developed after administration of cisplatin an acute renal
failure until he required hemodialysis and his renal failure was
permanent. The renal biopsy examination indicated partial recovery of
the proximal tubule, but renal function did not recover.
