The fine print
What NephTox is, what it is not, and how the small amount of data it touches is handled.
Not medical advice
NephTox is an educational and research reference about the nephrotoxicity of anti-cancer drugs. It is not medical advice, not a substitute for a qualified clinician, and must not be used to diagnose, treat, or make decisions about any real patient. Incidence figures, mechanisms, and management notes are summarized from the literature and may be incomplete or out of date. Always verify against current prescribing information and institutional protocols, and consult a physician for any clinical decision.
Accuracy & citations
Claims are tied to peer-reviewed sources indexed in PubMed (citation metadata courtesy of the U.S. National Library of Medicine, which does not endorse this site). Despite that grounding, NephTox is maintained by a small team and may contain errors. Content is provided “as is,” without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. If you spot an error, please use the Flag an error button on a drug page or the feedback form.
What we collect
NephTox is built to work with as little personal data as possible.
- Newsletter: if you subscribe, we store the email address you provide so we can send occasional updates. You can ask us to delete it at any time.
- Feedback & error reports: the message you send, and an email address only if you choose to provide one for a reply. Don’t include personal health information.
- No advertising trackers. We don’t sell data and don’t use third-party ad/analytics tracking. The host may collect standard, aggregate request logs for security and reliability.
Service providers
The site runs on Vercel (hosting). Newsletter and feedback records are stored in Supabase (Postgres). Email is sent via Resend. Two optional features query PubMed and, when enabled, the Anthropic API to grade plausibility — these receive only the drug/organ terms involved, never your personal data. Each provider processes data under its own terms.
