Aminoglycoside nephrotoxicity: pathogenesis and prevention.

R E Cronin

    Clinical Nephrology
    |May 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Aminoglycoside antibiotics can cause kidney damage (nephrotoxicity), affecting kidney functions. This risk increases with factors like dehydration, older age, and prior kidney issues, even with proper dosing.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Nephrology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Aminoglycoside antibiotics are crucial for treating severe bacterial infections.
    • Nephrotoxicity is a significant and potentially increasing adverse effect of aminoglycoside therapy.
    • The precise mechanisms underlying aminoglycoside-induced renal damage remain incompletely understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical problem of aminoglycoside nephrotoxicity.
    • To elucidate the factors influencing the incidence and severity of renal toxicity.
    • To discuss the clinical presentation and management considerations for aminoglycoside-induced kidney injury.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on aminoglycoside nephrotoxicity.
    • Analysis of factors contributing to renal dysfunction.
    • Correlation of renal tissue concentrations with toxicity levels.

    Main Results:

    • Aminoglycosides impair multiple nephron functions, including filtration, reabsorption, and concentration.
    • Renal toxicity risk is elevated in patients with volume depletion, advanced age, pre-existing renal dysfunction, and concurrent exposure to other nephrotoxins.
    • Nephrotoxicity may manifest after antibiotic course completion, with subclinical effects potentially occurring in all patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Aminoglycoside nephrotoxicity is a serious clinical concern with multifactorial causes.
    • Understanding risk factors and monitoring renal function are critical for safe aminoglycoside use.
    • Subclinical renal effects are common, highlighting the need for vigilant patient assessment.
