Acid-base and electrolyte abnormalities due to capreomycin.

M Darr, S Hamburger, E Ellerbeck

    Southern Medical Journal
    |May 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Tuberculosis patients on a five-drug regimen may develop severe electrolyte imbalances due to capreomycin. Monitoring serum electrolytes, magnesium, and calcium is crucial during this treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Clinical Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Tuberculosis (TB) treatment often involves multi-drug regimens.
    • Capreomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used for multidrug-resistant TB.
    • Acid-base and electrolyte disturbances are potential side effects of certain antibiotics.

    Observation:

    • A patient with tuberculosis experienced severe hypomagnesemia, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, and hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis.
    • These abnormalities occurred during treatment with a five-drug regimen including capreomycin.

    Findings:

    • Capreomycin treatment is strongly suspected as the cause of the observed electrolyte and acid-base disturbances.
    • The mechanism is likely related to capreomycin-induced renal magnesium wasting and potential tubular damage.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should be vigilant for electrolyte abnormalities in patients receiving capreomycin.
    • Frequent monitoring of serum electrolytes, magnesium, and calcium is recommended for patients on capreomycin therapy.
    • This case highlights the importance of comprehensive monitoring in complex TB treatment regimens.
