Figure 1 Mean serum creatinine levels from baseline to 36 months in patients with pre- to post-infusion change of >0.5mg/100ml. For each infusion, the patients treated with 5mg of zoledronic acid showed similar mean serum creatinine levels at 9–11 days post-infusion and also at 12 months post-infusion.

Figure 2 Long-term renal safety: mean change in estimated creatinine clearance from baseline to 36 months (safety population). At month 36, the mean (±s.e.m.) decrease from baseline in estimated creatinine clearance was similar in the patients treated with 5mg of zoledronic acid (−8.75±0.175ml/min) and in the placebo group (−8.67±0.175ml/min).
