Overview[edit | edit source]
Nephrotoxic drugs are pharmacotherapies that can lead to a decline in renal function. The drug may need to be discontinued, or the dosing reduced when this happens.
Common Nephrotoxic drugs[edit | edit source]
- Acetaminophen
- Aspirin
- H1 antagonist
- Cephalosporins
- Cocaine
- Diuretics
- NSAIDs
- Penicillins
- Proton pump inhibitors
- Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors
- Statins
Antibiotics[edit | edit source]
Antibacterials[edit | edit source]
- Aminoglycosides (10-15% Incidence of acute tubular necrosis)
- Occurs in 10-20% patients on 7 day course
- Results in non-oligurics; increased creatinine
- A single dose early in septic course is usually safe
- Amphotericin B (Incidence 80-90%)
- Ciprofloxacin
- Chloroquine
- Erythromycin
- Gentamycin
- Hydroxychloroquine
- Isoniazide
- Levofloxacin
- Methicillin
- Rifampin
- Sulfonamides
- Tetracycline
- Trimethadione
- Vancomycin
Antivirals[edit | edit source]
Antiparasitic drugs[edit | edit source]
Chemotherapy and Immunosuppressants[edit | edit source]
Heavy Metals and Poisons[edit | edit source]
- Polydipsia and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
- Acute renal failure
- Dialysis indications: serum creatinine >2.5 or seizures, rhabdomyolysis
- Chronic kidney disease with fibrosis
- Mercury poisoning
- Nitrosourea compounds
AntiHyperlipidemics[edit | edit source]
- Fenofibrate (Tricor)
- Increases serum creatinine without significant decrease in GFR
- Serum creatinine rise is reversible on stopping fenofibrate
- Associated with acute renal failure due to rhabdomyolysis
Chemotherapy[edit | edit source]
- Causes fanconi's syndrome
Proton channel blockers[edit | edit source]
Miscellaneous Drugs[edit | edit source]
- Chronic stimulant laxative use
- Resulting chronic volume depletion and hypokalemia causes nephropathy
- Expect an increase of serum creatinine in chronic kidney disease
- Low dose aspirin reduces renal function in elderly
- Decreased creatinine clearance after 2 weeks of use
- Changes persisted for at least 3 weeks off aspirin
- Low dose aspirin reduces renal function in elderly
- Aristocholic acid containing Chinese herbals
- Bevacizumab
- Carbon tetrachloride
- Cimetidine
- Ciprofloxacin
- Clopidogrel
- Dilantin
- Diuretics
- Infliximab
- Interferons
- Mesalamine (Asacol, Pentasa)
- Mesalamine is an NSAID analog and has systemic absorption from the bowel
- Nephrotic syndrome type reaction
- Vasculitis reaction
