Abstract
Drug-induced nephrotoxicity is one of the most common causes of
acute kidney injury. There are various agents that exert nephrotoxic
effects through different pathogenic mechanisms. Aminoglycoside
antibiotics, chemotherapeutic agents, radiocontrast media,
and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are among common
nephrotoxic agents. In recent years, natural compounds are being
increasingly used in the treatment of kidney diseases. Given many
reports available on the curative effects of a variety of medicinal
plants against drug-associated nephrotoxicity, we aimed to review
the protective effects of medicinal plants on certain nephrotoxic
drugs.
