Antibiotic use requires careful dosing in patients with reduced renal function to prevent kidney damage. This review provides guidelines for safe antibiotic administration and highlights nephrotoxic agents.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology and Nephrology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Renal excretion is the primary elimination pathway for most antibiotics.
  • Certain antibiotics can induce renal injury through direct or immunologic mechanisms.
  • A dose-response relationship exists between antibiotic therapy and renal function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide practical guidelines for administering antibiotics to patients with impaired renal function.
  • To review commonly used antibiotics associated with nephrotoxicity.
  • To detail the incidence, degree, pathogenic mechanisms, and preventive measures for antibiotic-induced renal damage.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current antibiotic use in patients with decreased renal function.
  • Examination of antibiotics frequently linked to nephrotoxicity.

  • Analysis of pathogenic mechanisms and preventive strategies for renal damage.

    • Main Results:

    • Guidelines for correct antibiotic administration in patients with reduced renal function are presented.
    • Specific antibiotics with high nephrotoxicity risk are identified.
    • Information on the incidence, severity, mechanisms, and prevention of renal damage is provided for each agent.

    Conclusions:

    • Careful assessment of renal function is crucial for patients with acute and chronic infections receiving antibiotic therapy.
    • Adherence to administration guidelines can mitigate antibiotic-induced nephrotoxicity.
    • Understanding the nephrotoxic potential of specific antibiotics is essential for safe clinical practice.
