About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if N-Acetylcysteine drug works to protect kidney function in adults patient with cancer. Kidney function will be measured by laboratory parameter using urine sample (KIM-1 urine) and blood sample (serum creatinine). The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Does N-Acetylcysteine lower the level of KIM-1 (Kidney Injury Molecule) in patients urine indicating kidney function protection? 2. Does N-Acetylcysteine lower the level of creatinine in patients blood indicating kidney function protection?
Participants will:
1. Had their blood and urine sample taken before taking the drugs (N-Acetylcysteine or placebo) 2. Underwent cisplatin based chemotherapy 3. Taken placebo or N-Acetylcysteine for seven days (1 day before chemotherapy, on the chemotherapy day, and 5 days after chemotherapy) 4. Had their blood and urine sample taken twice after taking the drugs (1 week and 3 weeks after chemotherapy) 5. Had their symptoms monitor during and after taking the drugs. Every possible side effect, hospitalization, or death will be recorded.
