The influence of pretreatment with triiodothyronine (T 3 ) on cisplatin (CP)‐induced nephrotoxicity was investigated in 10‐ and 55‐day‐old rats. Triiodothyronine pretreatment enhanced CP proteinuria in young and adult rats, and increased blood urea nitrogen concentration in 55‐day‐old rats. As T 3 decreased Pt concentrations in renal tisssue, the enhanced nephrotoxicity of CP by T 3 must have another mechanism. Enhanced CP nephrotoxicity is discussed in connection with an increase of glutathione concentration obtained in renal tissue as a consequence of T 3 pretreatment.
