Vancomycin Trough Levels: Cause or Result of Acute Kidney Injury?
clearance of vancomycin to the clearance of the gold standard glomerular filtration rate (GFR) marker inulin is 0.89 in normal volunteers at steady state with endogenous creatinine as a filtration marker the ratio is 0.79 [5] . Therefore, the vancomycin clearance is a better GFR marker than is the creatinine clearance. Thus the interpretation of trough levels needs to be based on the renal func...
متن کاملAcute renal failure due to vancomycin toxicity in the setting of unmonitored vancomycin infusion.
Vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity is a commonly feared and largely preventable adverse effect of vancomycin therapy. We present the case of a 56-year-old woman who developed acute renal failure requiring hemodialysis as a result of unmonitored vancomycin infusions for the treatment of osteomyelitis.
متن کاملHomozygous SLC2A9 mutations cause severe renal hypouricemia.
Hereditary hypouricemia may result from mutations in the renal tubular uric acid transporter URAT1. Whether mutation of other uric acid transporters produces a similar phenotype is unknown. We studied two families who had severe hereditary hypouricemia and did not have a URAT1 defect. We performed a genome-wide homozygosity screen and linkage analysis and identified the candidate gene SLC2A9, w...
متن کاملSystemic Toxicity of Intraperitoneal Vancomycin
Intraperitoneal vancomycin is used for empiric treatment of peritoneal dialysis peritonitis. It is dosed intermittently and a high systemic concentration is often achieved. Despite this, there are very few reports of systemic toxicity from intraperitoneal vancomycin. We report the course of a patient who developed a drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome after th...
متن کاملEffluent from drug manufactures contains extremely high levels of pharmaceuticals.
It is generally accepted that the main route for human pharmaceuticals to the aquatic environment is via sewage treatment plants receiving wastewater from households and hospitals. We have analysed pharmaceuticals in the effluent from a wastewater treatment plant serving about 90 bulk drug manufacturers in Patancheru, near Hyderabad, India--a major production site of generic drugs for the world...
