Abstract :
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent and wide complication of
antibiotics therapy. In the present review article, we assessed the
epidemiology, pathogenesis, risk factors, and clinical manifestation
of antibiotic-induced AKI. The risk factors for the occurrence of
antibiotic-induced AKI include medical comorbidities, coexisting
drug therapies and the dosage, and therapeutic period of antibiotics.
The prognosis of antibiotic-induced AKI varies by antibiotics types.
This review summarizes the clinical controversy of antibiotic
treatment and the future clinical recommendations.
