Study aim
Determine the efficiency of silymarin in the prevention of gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in patients hospitalized in Imam Reza and Vali-Asr hosptals in Mashhad, Iran
Design
A clinical trial was conducted in two groups of control and treatment groups, double blind, randomized with permutable blocking method
Settings and conduct
