  2. Nephrotoxicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephrotoxicity

    Nephrotoxicity is toxicity in the kidneys.It is a poisonous effect of some substances, both toxic chemicals and medications, on kidney function. [1] There are various forms, [2] and some drugs may affect kidney function in more than one way.

  3. Gentamicin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentamicin

    Gentamicin is composed of a number of related gentamicin components and fractions which have varying degrees of antimicrobial potency. [38] The main components of gentamicin include members of the gentamicin C complex: gentamicin C 1 , gentamicin C 1a , and gentamicin C 2 which compose approximately 80% of gentamicin and have been found to have ...

  4. Aminoglycoside - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aminoglycoside

    Aminoglycosides are contraindicated in patients with mitochondrial diseases as they may result in impaired mtDNA translation, which can lead to irreversible hearing loss, tinnitus, cardiac toxicity, and renal toxicity. However, hearing loss and tinnitus have also been observed in some patients without mitochondrial diseases. [27]

  5. Acute tubular necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_tubular_necrosis

    Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is a medical condition involving the death of tubular epithelial cells that form the renal tubules of the kidneys.Because necrosis is often not present, the term acute tubular injury (ATI) is preferred by pathologists over the older name acute tubular necrosis (ATN). [1]

  6. Acute kidney injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_kidney_injury

    Acute kidney injury (AKI), previously called acute renal failure (ARF), [1] [2] is a sudden decrease in kidney function that develops within seven days, [3] as shown by an increase in serum creatinine or a decrease in urine output, or both.

  7. Urinary anti-infective agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinary_anti-infective_agent

    The choice of urinary anti-infective agents for patients with renal dysfunction is generally similar to that for individuals with normal kidney function. However, in cases where the patient's glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decreases to less than 20 mL/min, drug dosages adjustment is necessary because achieving the desired therapeutic serum ...

  8. Kidney failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_failure

    Acute kidney injury (AKI), previously called acute renal failure (ARF), [12] [13] is a rapidly progressive loss of renal function, [14] generally characterized by oliguria (decreased urine production, quantified as less than 400 mL per day in adults, [15] less than 0.5 mL/kg/h in children or less than 1 mL/kg/h in infants); and fluid and ...

  9. Analgesic nephropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analgesic_nephropathy

    The scarring of the small blood vessels, called capillary sclerosis, is the initial lesion of analgesic nephropathy. [7] Found in the renal pelvis, ureter, and capillaries supplying the nephrons, capillary sclerosis is thought to lead to renal papillary necrosis and, in turn, chronic interstitial nephritis.
