چکیده

BACKGROUND Deoxycholate amphotericin B (DAB) is a nephrotoxic drug and the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) is high. AIMS The aim of this study was to describe the incidence of AKI in patients under DAB therapy and determine risk factor to predict the AKI. METHODS The data of this retrospective study included previously hospitalized patients treated with intravenous DAB for at least five days. Clinical and laboratorial data were evaluated and AKI was classified in stages using Acute Kidney Injury Network criteria. Univariated test followed by a multivariable analysis was performed to determine risk factor and Kaplan-Meier survival estimates were calculated to evaluate the role of AKI in the outcome. RESULTS One hundred six patients were included in the final analysis. AKI occurred in 51.9% and dialysis was necessary in 4.7%. The occurrence of AKI was not associated with any risk factor. The mortality of the patients was neither associated with AKI nor with dialysis. Other nephrotoxic drugs were not risk factors for AKI. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of AKI in patients using DAB is high and we cannot predict the chance of AKI using clinical or laboratorial data.

Caspofungin versus amphotericin B for candidemia: a pharmacoeconomic analysis.

BACKGROUND In a randomized, comparative, clinical trial, caspofungin was found to be as effective as amphotericin B deoxycholate (ampho B) for treating candidemia (favorable outcomes in 71.7% and 62.8% of patients, respectively) and exhibited a generally better safety profile, particularly with respect to impaired renal function (IRF) (P = 0.02). OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to examin...

Risk Factors and Prognostic Factors of Acute Renal Failure in Patients Admitted to an Intensive Care Unit, Tehran-Iran

Acute renal failure (ARF) is defined as a sudden and continuous decrease of glomerular function associated with azotemia, and may be followed by decreased urinary output. There is a high incidence of ARF in ICU patients with a high mortality rate. Many factors can promote ARF development or influence its outcome. This study was done to assess the incidence, risk factors, outcome and treatme...
