Abstract:
A guinea pig model was used to study correlations between cis-platinum dosage and level of hearing loss, hair cell loss in the cochlea. Other parameters measured included weight loss and serum urea, creatinine, and cis-platinum levels. The damage to the inner ear expressed as hearing loss and hair cell loss demonstrated a highly positive correlation with the dosage of cis-platinum, and only a moderately positive correlation with the cis-platinum serum levels. Weight loss correlated well with hearing loss.
