Many drugs are known to cause drug-induced kidney injury (DKI). Understanding the toxicological mechanisms of DKI help to minimize the disadvantages by taking theoretical precautions. The desired procedure for preventing DKIs should be confirmed in clinical practice and an information revolution is also needed to link basic and clinical sciences. Reasonable precautions can be taken during treatment if there is "interest" in the safety of the drugs, however, keeping interest in only one particular area is difficult and insufficient. In this presentation, we will consider the problems related to DKIs in clinical practice.
