Experimental ampicillin glomerulonephropathy.

N G Wright, A S Nash

    Journal of Comparative Pathology
    |July 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Repeated ampicillin doses in dogs caused subclinical glomerulonephropathy. Most dogs developed mesangial hypercellularity and significant immunoglobulin G (IgG) and complement C3 deposits in their kidneys.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Nephrology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Antibiotic-induced kidney damage is a concern in veterinary medicine.
    • Glomerulonephritis can manifest with varying degrees of severity.
    • Ampicillin is a widely used antibiotic in companion animals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the renal effects of repeated ampicillin administration in dogs.
    • To characterize the pathological changes in canine kidneys following ampicillin exposure.

    Main Methods:

    • Eighteen healthy dogs received multiple intramuscular injections of ampicillin (7 mg/kg, thrice weekly).
    • Kidney tissues were examined for pathological changes consistent with glomerulonephropathy.
    • Immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy were used to detect immune deposits.

    Main Results:

    • Fifteen of the 18 dogs developed subclinical glomerulonephropathy.
    • Mesangial hypercellularity was a common finding.
    • Glomerular deposits of immunoglobulin G (IgG) were detected in 14 dogs, with 11 also showing C3 deposits.

    Conclusions:

    • Repeated ampicillin administration can induce subclinical glomerulonephropathy in dogs.
    • Immune complex deposition, involving IgG and C3, is a key feature of this ampicillin-induced kidney injury.
    • These findings highlight the potential nephrotoxic effects of ampicillin in canine patients.
