Abstract:
Renal injury is one of the common ad-verse reactions in the clinical application of chemo-therapy drugs,which is the main reason why the chemotherapy can not be carried out in the whole cycle.The pathological mechanism of chemothera-py-induced renal injury is very complicated,mainly involving oxidative stress,inflammatory response,apoptosis,mitochondrial dysfunction,and regula-tion of transporters,causing pathological damage to renal tubules or glomeruli.At present,there is no specific pharmacological intervention for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced renal injury.As a treasure of traditional Chinese medicine,tradi-tional Chinese medicine has the advantages of overall regulation,multi-targeting,small adverse re-actions and no obvious drug dependence in the prevention and treatment of chemotherapy-in-duced renal injury.In recent years,there have been more and more studies on the intervention of che-motherapy-induced renal injury by multi-compo-nent and multi-directional intervention of active components,extracts and compounds of tradition-al Chinese medicine,and some progress has been made.A large number of studies have shown that the potential mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine in preventing and treating renal injury in-duced by chemotherapy include inhibiting oxida-tive stress,reducing inflammatory response and in-hibiting apoptosis.Although there are many stud-ies on the mechanism of action of traditional Chi-nese medicine in the treatment of chemotherapy-induced renal injury,there is still a lack of systemat-ic review.Based on this,this paper summarizes the mechanism of renal injury induced by chemothera-py and the intervention of traditional Chinese medi-cine,so as to provide theoretical support for its clinical treatment and new drug innovation.
