[Drug-induced kidney disorders]

G Keusch

    Schweizerische Medizinische Wochenschrift
    |March 13, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Drugs can harm kidneys through various functional and morphological factors, leading to nephrotoxicity. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for preventing drug-induced kidney damage.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Pharmacology
    • Toxicology

    Context:

    • The kidneys are highly susceptible to drug-induced damage due to their unique physiological characteristics.
    • High renal blood flow and glomerular filtration deliver substantial solute loads to the tubules.
    • Tubular transport processes can concentrate solutes, increasing exposure of the tubular epithelium.

    Purpose:

    • To review clinically significant drug-induced nephropathies.
    • To identify common nephrotoxic agents.
    • To elucidate the mechanisms underlying drug nephrotoxicity.

    Summary:

    • Kidney vulnerability to drugs stems from high solute delivery and concentration in tubules, exacerbated by medullary counter-current systems.
    • The kidney's metabolic activation capacity can convert drugs into reactive toxins.

  • Drug nephrotoxicity affects all nephron segments, interstitium, and vasculature, causing diverse syndromes via direct cellular injury or immune reactions.

    • Impact:

    • Provides a comprehensive overview of drug-induced kidney diseases.
    • Highlights key nephrotoxic drugs and their mechanisms.
    • Informs clinical practice regarding drug selection and monitoring to prevent kidney injury.
