    Gentamicin accumulation and increased serum creatinine were observed initially in patients. However, renal function improved over time despite continued gentamicin therapy, indicating potential adaptation.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Pharmacology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Gentamicin is a widely used antibiotic.
    • Potential nephrotoxicity is a concern with gentamicin therapy.
    • Monitoring serum levels and renal function is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the dynamic changes in serum gentamicin levels and renal function.
    • To assess the renal response to prolonged gentamicin administration.
    • To evaluate the occurrence of gentamicin accumulation and subsequent renal recovery.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study design.
    • Analysis of serum gentamicin and serum creatinine levels.
    • Inclusion of six patients receiving gentamicin for 39-48 days.

    Main Results:

    • Initial increase in serum creatinine and gentamicin accumulation observed in all patients.
    • Improvement in renal function noted after three to four weeks.
    • Renal function recovery occurred despite ongoing gentamicin administration.

    Conclusions:

    • The kidneys may adapt to prolonged gentamicin exposure.
    • Initial signs of nephrotoxicity can be reversible.
    • Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms of renal adaptation to gentamicin.
