Effect of furosemide on aminoglycoside-induced nephrotoxicity and auditory toxicity in humans.

چکیده
We analyzed data from three prospective, controlled, randomized, double-blind clinical trails to determine whether furosemide increases the nephrotoxicity and auditory toxicity of aminoglycosides. All patients who received at least 72 h of treatment and who had no other cause for nephrotoxicity or auditory toxicity were included in the analysis. Nephrotoxicity developed in 10 of 50 (20.0%) patients given furosemide and in 38 of 222 (17.1%) patients not given furosemide (P greater than 0.3). Auditory toxicity developed in 5 of 23 patients (21.7%) given furosemide and in 28 of 119 patients (23.5%) not given furosemide (P greater than 0.3). In each case, the groups receiving and not receiving furosemide did not differ in mean age, initial creatinine, duration of aminoglycoside therapy, mean change in auditory acuity or creatinine, mean number of days to the development of toxicity, the frequency with which gentamicin, tobramycin, amikacin, or cephalothin was administered, or the mean predose and 1-h postdose plasma aminoglycoside levels. We conclude that furosemide use should not be considered a major risk factor for the development of aminoglycoside-induced nephrotoxicity or auditory toxicity.

Objective(s): Gentamicin belongs to the family of aminoglycoside antibiotics and is a preferred drug in developing countries because of its low cost, availability, and potent effects against bacterial. However, gentamicin can induce nephrotoxicity. In this research, hydroalcoholic extract of Rheum turkestanicum was used against gentamicin- induced nephrotoxicity. Rheum turkestanicum is used aga...

A total of 157 patients were treated with tobramycin or amikacin in a controlled prospective randomized trial. Dosages were adjusted to renal function according to a nomogram. Trough and peak aminoglycoside levels were available at the end of the trial. Of the above total, 113 recipients of nine or more doses of tobramycin or six or more doses of amikacin, without other apparent cause of renal ...
