Prevention Of Nephrotoxicity Following Bone Marrow Transplantation Using Urodilatin and Mannitol

Summary

The purpose of the study is to combine Urodilatin (ANP analogue), which will increase glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and mannitol, which will increase the rate of urinary flow and solute excretion. We intend to treat twenty consecutive allogeneic bone marrow transplant patients in a phase II study comparing results with historical controls. We hypothesize that the incidence of renal dysfunction, ARF and thus mortality in allogeneic bone marrow transplantation can be significantly reduced by the use of protective agents Urodilatin and mannitol. We feel that this combination is best administered prior to and during the first two weeks of treatment when patients encounter immunosuppressive agents and the onset of early transplantation complications.
