Role of erythropoietin in prevention of amikacin-induced nephropathy.

Conclusion: As far as we know, the present results are the first to demonstrate a protective effect of exogenous Epo against experimental amikacin-induced renal injury. According to these results, Epo may improve the therapeutic potential of amikacin. More studies are needed for a final conclusion.
