Why the study?
Doxorubicin is an anthracycline drug used for cancer treatment, but its use is contiguous with toxic effects including nephrotoxicity.

AHE may mitigate doxorubicin nephrotoxicity in rats; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice pending human data.
Does Acacia hydaspica extract prevent doxorubicin-induced nephrotoxicity in a rat model?
Acacia hydaspica extract shows potential as an adjuvant to prevent doxorubicin-induced nephrotoxicity in a preclinical model.
