    Gentamicin and other aminoglycosides cause kidney damage in rats, indicated by early proteinuria and enzymuria. This nephrotoxicity is linked to high drug concentrations in renal tissue and tubular necrosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Nephrology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Aminoglycosides, like gentamicin, are crucial antibiotics but can cause kidney damage (nephrotoxicity).
    • Understanding the mechanisms of aminoglycoside-induced nephrotoxicity is vital for patient safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the nephrotoxicities of gentamicin and three experimental aminoglycosides in a rat model.
    • To investigate the relationship between drug concentration in renal tissue and kidney dysfunction.

    Main Methods:

    • Rats received a daily dose of 60 mg/kg of aminoglycosides.
    • Evaluated renal function, lysosomal enzymuria, and antibiotic concentrations in plasma, urine, and renal tissue.
    • Examined kidney tissue using light and electron microscopy.

    Main Results:

    • Proteinuria and enzymuria were early indicators of kidney dysfunction.
    • Renal tissue antibiotic concentrations were 5-10 times higher than serum or urine levels.
    • Light microscopy showed proximal tubule necrosis; electron microscopy revealed myeloid bodies, suggesting impaired cytoplasmic degradation.

    Conclusions:

    • Aminoglycoside accumulation in renal tissue contributes to tubular necrosis.
    • Impaired degradation of organelle membranes may lead to myeloid body formation and kidney damage.
