Background:
Early signal detection from post-marketing studies play a vital role in the safety of patients. Recent case reports have indicated the association of clindamycin with renal failure acute. However, renal failure acute is not known to be associated with clindamycin. The aim of the study was the identification of the potential signal of clindamycin-associated renal failure acute.
Methods:
The OpenVigil 2.1-MedDRA-v24 was used to query the FAERS database. The Reporting Odds Ratio (ROR) with a 95% confidence interval, was used to assess the association between clindamycin and renal failure acute.
Results:
A total of 22326 cases associated with renal failure acute were found in OpenVigil 2.1- MedDRA-v24. Among these 125 were associated with clindamycin. The ROR was found to be 3.2 (2.7, 3.8) which indicates a statistically significant association between clindamycin and renal failure acute reporting. The signal strength was decreased after removing the cases of concomitantly administered drugs, however, the association of clindamycin with renal failure acute reporting remains statistically significant. The subgroup analysis results have also shown a positive signal of clindamycin with renal failure acute.
Conclusion:
The current study identified a positive signal of clindamycin as renal failure acute. However, further validation and causality assessment are required.

01:11Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...

One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...

Renal clearance is often associated with the renal glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which represents the rate at which plasma is filtered through the glomeruli in the kidney. When drug reabsorption is minimal and there is no active secretion, renal clearance is closely related to the...
01:06Renal Drug Clearance: Overview
Renal clearance can be calculated using different methods. One approach is to divide the urinary drug excretion rate by the plasma drug concentration. This method directly measures renal clearance, indicating the kidneys' efficiency in...

The graphical method involves plotting the rate of drug excretion in urine against the plasma drug concentration. By analyzing the graph, the clearance can be calculated and obtained. Drugs rapidly excreted by the kidneys exhibit a...
01:31Factors Affecting Renal Clearance: Drug's Physicochemical Properties and Plasma Levels
One important factor is the drug's molecular size. The kidneys readily excrete smaller molecules below 300 Daltons (Da). On the other hand, molecules weighing between 300 and 500 Da are excreted through both urine and bile. Larger molecules above 500 Da tend to be excreted...
