Bao J, Chen Y, Zhou L, Hong H, Ma J. Risk factors analysis and construction of predictive models for acute kidney injury in overweight patients receiving vancomycin treatment. Expert Opin Drug Saf 2024. [PMID: 39140731 DOI: 10.1080/14740338.2024.2393285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2024] [Revised: 07/15/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vancomycin induced acute kidney injury (VI-AKI) is one of its serious adverse reactions. The purpose of this study is to discuss the risk factors for VI-AKI in overweight patients and construct a clinical prediction model based on the results of the analysis. METHODS Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for VI-AKI and constructed nomogram models. The performance of the nomogram was evaluated based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration curves and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULT Cancer (OR 4.186, 95% CI 1.473-11.896), vancomycin trough concentration >20.0 μg/mL (OR 6.251, 95% CI 2.275-17.180), concomitant furosemide (OR 2.722, 95% CI 1.071-6.919) and vasoactive agent (OR 2.824, 95% CI 1.086-7.340) were independent risk factors for VI-AKI. The AUC of the nomogram validation cohorts were 0.807 (95% CI 0.785-0.846). The calibration curve revealed that the predicted outcome was in agreement with the actual observations. Finally, the DCA curves showed that the nomogram had a good clinical applicability value. CONCLUSION There are four independent risk factors for the occurrence of VI-AKI in overweight patients, and the nomogram prediction model has good predictive ability, which can provide reference for clinical decision-making.

Immunopharmacol Immunotoxicol 2024; 46:509-520.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vancomycin (VCM) is used clinically to treat serious infections caused by multi-resistant Gram-positive bacteria, although its use is severely constrained by nephrotoxicity. This study investigated the possible nephroprotective effect of febuxostat (FX) and/or fenofibrate (FENO) and their possible underlying mechanisms against VCM-induced nephrotoxicity in a rat model. METHODS Male Wistar rats were randomly allocated into five groups; Control, VCM, FX, FENO, and combination groups. Nephrotoxicity was evaluated histopathologically and biochemically. The oxidative stress biomarkers (SOD, MDA, GSH, total nitrite, GPx, MPO), the apoptotic marker, renal Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax), and inflammatory and kidney injury markers (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, Nrf2, OH-1, kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), NADPH oxidase, Kim-1, COX-II, NGAL, Cys-C were also evaluated. RESULTS VCM resulted in significant elevation in markers of kidney damage, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammatory markers. Co-administration of VCM with either/or FX and FENO significantly mitigated nephrotoxicity and associated oxidative stress, inflammatory and apoptotic markers. In comparison to either treatment alone, a more notable improvement was observed with the FX and FENO combination regimen. CONCLUSION Our findings show that FX, FENO, and their combination regimen have a nephroprotective impact on VCM-induced kidney injury by suppressing oxidative stress, apoptosis, and the inflammatory response. Renal recovery from VCM-induced injury was accomplished by activation of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling and inhibition of NF-κB expression. This study highlights the importance of FX and FENO as effective therapies for reducing nephrotoxicity in VCM-treated patients.

Abstract
Vancomycin (VCM) is the first-line antibiotic for severe infections, but nephrotoxicity limits its use. Leonurine (Leo) has shown protective effects against kidney damage. However, the effect and mechanism of Leo on VCM nephrotoxicity remain unclear. In this study, mice and HK-2 cells exposed to VCM were treated with Leo. Biochemical and pathological analysis and fluorescence probe methods were performed to examine the role of Leo in VCM nephrotoxicity. Immunohistochemistry, q-PCR, western blot, FACS, and Autodock software were used to verify the mechanism. The present results indicate that Leo significantly alleviates VCM-induced renal injury, morphological damage, and oxidative stress. Increased intracellular and mitochondrial ROS in HK-2 cells and decreased mitochondrial numbers in mouse renal tubular epithelial cells were reversed in Leo-administrated groups. In addition, molecular docking analysis using Autodock software revealed that Leo binds to the PPARγ protein with high affinity. Mechanistic exploration indicated that Leo inhibited VCM nephrotoxicity via activating PPARγ and inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB/TNF-α inflammation pathway. Taken together, our results indicate that the PPARγ inhibition and inflammation reactions were implicated in the VCM nephrotoxicity and provide a promising therapeutic strategy for renal injury.

Alosaimy S, Rybak MJ, Sakoulas G. Understanding vancomycin nephrotoxicity augmented by β-lactams: a synthesis of endosymbiosis, proximal renal tubule mitochondrial metabolism, and β-lactam chemistry. THE LANCET. INFECTIOUS DISEASES 2024; 24:e179-e188. [PMID: 37883984 DOI: 10.1016/s1473-3099(23)00432-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2023] [Revised: 06/08/2023] [Accepted: 06/29/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023]
Abstract
The recent understanding that hydrophobic β-lactams have greater affinity for organic anion transporter-3 (OAT-3) of the proximal renal tubule could provide valuable insights for anticipating β-lactams that may exacerbate vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity. Vancomycin alone provides oxidative stress on the highly metabolic proximal tubular cells. Hydrophobic β-lactams (eg, piperacillin and anti-staphylococcal β-lactams) could have greater OAT-3 mediated uptake into proximal tubular cells than hydrophilic β-lactams (eg, most cephalosporins and carbapenems), thereby causing greater mitochondrial stress on these susceptible cells. It remains to be seen whether concomitant drugs that inhibit OAT-3 mediated cellular uptake of β-lactams into proximal tubular cells or provide antioxidant effects might mitigate β-lactam augmented vancomycin nephrotoxicity. Furthermore, the serum creatinine rise seen with vancomycin and hydrophobic β-lactams might represent competition for creatinine-secreting transporters (of which OAT-3 is one), thus, indicating creatinine retention rather than renal injury. In the meantime, clinicians are advised to utilise less nephrotoxic combinations in both empirical and directed antibiotic selection settings until further research is conducted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Vancomycin is one of the most common clinical antibiotics, yet acute kidney injury is a major limiting factor. Common combinations of antibiotics with vancomycin have been reported to worsen and improve vancomycin-induced kidney injury. We aimed to study the impact of flucloxacillin and imipenem-cilastatin on kidney injury when combined with vancomycin in our translational rat model. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Male Sprague-Dawley rats received allometrically scaled (1) vancomycin, (2) flucloxacillin, (3) vancomycin + flucloxacillin, (4) vancomycin + imipenem-cilastatin or (5) saline for 4 days. Kidney injury was evaluated via drug accumulation and urinary biomarkers including urinary output, kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), clusterin and osteopontin. Relationships between vancomycin accumulation in the kidney and urinary kidney injury biomarkers were explored. KEY RESULTS Urinary output increased every study day for vancomycin + flucloxacillin, but after the first dose only in the vancomycin group. In the vancomycin + flucloxacillin group, urinary KIM-1 increased on all days compared with vancomycin. In the vancomycin + imipenem-cilastatin group, urinary KIM-1 was decreased on Days 1 and 2 compared with vancomycin. Similar trends were observed for clusterin. More vancomycin accumulated in the kidney with vancomycin + flucloxacillin compared with vancomycin and vancomycin + imipenem-cilastatin. The accumulation of vancomycin in the kidney tissue correlated with increasing urinary KIM-1. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Vancomycin + flucloxacillin caused more kidney injury compared with vancomycin alone and vancomycin + imipenem-cilastatin in a translational rat model. The combination of vancomycin + imipenem-cilastatin was nephroprotective.

Livogrit prevents Amiodarone-induced toxicity in experimental model of human liver (HepG2) cells and Caenorhabditis elegans by regulating redox homeostasis. Drug Chem Toxicol 2024:1-17.

Abstract
Treatment with cationic amphiphilic drugs like Amiodarone leads to development of phospholipidosis, a type of lysosomal storage disorder characterized by excessive deposition of phospholipids. Such disorder in liver enhances accumulation of drugs and its metabolites, and dysregulates lipid profiles, which subsequently leads to hepatotoxicity. In the present study, we assessed pharmacological effects of herbal medicine, Livogrit, against hepatic phospholipidosis-induced toxicity. Human liver (HepG2) cells and in vivo model of Caenorhabditis elegans (N2 and CF1553 strains) were used to study effect of Livogrit on Amiodarone-induced phospholipidosis. In HepG2 cells, Livogrit treatment displayed enhanced uptake of acidic pH-based stains and reduced phospholipid accumulation, oxidative stress, AST, ALT, cholesterol levels, and gene expression of SCD-1 and LSS. Protein levels of LPLA2 were also normalized. Livogrit treatment restored Pgp functionality which led to decreased cellular accumulation of Amiodarone as observed by UHPLC analysis. In C. elegans, Livogrit prevented ROS generation, fat-6/7 gene overexpression, and lysosomal trapping of Amiodarone in N2 strain. SOD-3::GFP expression in CF1553 strain normalized by Livogrit treatment. Livogrit regulates phospholipidosis by regulation of redox homeostasis, phospholipid anabolism, and Pgp functionality hindered by lysosomal trapping of Amiodarone. Livogrit could be a potential therapeutic intervention for amelioration of drug-induced phospholipidosis and prevent hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is a crucial membrane transporter situated on the cell's apical surface, being responsible for eliminating xenobiotics and endobiotics. P-gp modulators are compounds that can directly or indirectly affect this protein, leading to changes in its expression and function. These modulators can act as inhibitors, inducers, or activators, potentially causing drug-drug interactions (DDIs). This comprehensive review explores diverse models and techniques used to assess drug-induced P-gp modulation. We cover several approaches, including in silico, in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo methods, with their respective strengths and limitations. Additionally, we explore the therapeutic implications of DDIs involving P-gp, with a special focus on the renal and intestinal elimination of P-gp substrates. This involves enhancing the removal of toxic substances from proximal tubular epithelial cells into the urine or increasing the transport of compounds from enterocytes into the intestinal lumen, thereby facilitating their excretion in the feces. A better understanding of these interactions, and of the distinct techniques applied for their study, will be of utmost importance for optimizing drug therapy, consequently minimizing drug-induced adverse and toxic effects.

Abstract
Vancomycin, is widely used against methicillin-resistant bacterial infections. However, Vancomycin accumulation causes nephrotoxicity which leads to an impairment in the filtration mechanisms of kidney. Traditional herbal medicines hold potential for treatment of drug-induced nephrotoxicity. Herein, we investigated protective properties of plant-based medicine Renogrit against Vancomycin-induced kidney injury. Phytometabolite analysis of Renogrit was performed by UHPLC. Spheroids formed from human proximal tubular cell (HK-2) were used for in vitro evaluation of Vancomycin-induced alterations in cell viability, P-gp functionality, NAG, KIM-1 levels, and mRNA expression of NGAL and MMP-7. The in vivo efficacy of Renogrit against Vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity was further evaluated in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats by measurement of BUN, serum creatinine, and their respective clearances. Moreover, eGFR, kidney-to-body weight ratio, GSH/GSSG ratio, KIM-1, NAG levels and mRNA expression of KIM-1 and osteopontin were also analyzed. Changes in histopathology of kidney and hematological parameters were also observed. Renogrit treatment led to an increase in cell viability, normalization of P-gp functionality, decrease in levels of NAG, KIM-1, and reduction in mRNA expression of NGAL and MMP-7. In Vancomycin-challenged SD rats, Renogrit treatment normalized altered kidney functions, histological, and hematological parameters. Our findings revealed that Renogrit holds a clinico-therapeutic potential for alleviating Vancomycin-associated nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Emerging studies support that Klotho protects against different kidney diseases. However, the role of Klotho in vancomycin induced acute kidney injury (Van-AKI) is largely unclear. Hence this study aimed to explore the regulatory mechanism of Klotho in Van-AKI. The mRNA expression of Klotho and the JAK2/STAT3/GPx3 in renal tissue were assessed by RNA sequence analysis after 600 mg/kg Van daily for seven days; Small interfering RNA and recombinant protein are applied to examine the mechanism action of Klotho in vitro and in vivo respectively. Flow cytometry and spectrophotometry detected the expression of reactive oxygen species and antioxidant enzymes. Transmission electron microscopy scanned the structural damage of mitochondria. Western blotting, qPCR, and immunofluorescence were employed to explore the JAK2/STAT3/GPx3 expression. RNA sequence analysis found that Van challenging reduced Klotho and GPx3 expression but increased JAK2/STAT3 in renal tissue. In HK-2 cells, Klotho were decreased by Van in a dose-dependent manner. Klotho siRNA enhanced the production of reactive oxygen species and the cell apoptosis ratio by regulating the JAK2/STAT3, and JAK2/STAT3 inhibitors prevented the decrease of GPx3. Meanwhile, 1 μg/ml recombinant human Klotho showed the opposite function to 120 pmol Klotho siRNA. In Van-AKI BALB/c mice, 20 μg/kg recombinant mouse Klotho once every two days improved the anti-oxidative enzyme expression, mitochondria structure, renal dysfunction, and histological damage. In conclusion, Klotho enhances antioxidant capacity through the JAK2/STAT3/GPx3 axis, which in turn improves Van-AKI.

Maternal transfer of florfenicol impacts development and disrupts metabolic pathways in F1 offspring zebrafish by destroying mitochondria. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 252:114597. [PMID: 36739738 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.114597] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2022] [Revised: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Maternal exposure to antibiotics existing in the environment is a predisposing factor for developmental malformation with metabolic disorders in offspring. In this study, female zebrafish (3 months) were exposed to 0.05 mg/L and 0.5 mg/L florfenicol (FF) for 28 days. After pairing and spawning with healthy male fish, F1 embryos were collected and developed to 5 d post-fertilization (dpf) in clear water. And the adverse effects on the F1 generation were examined thoroughly. The fecundity of F0 female fish and the hatchability, mortality, and body length of F1 larvae significantly decreased in the treatment group. Meanwhile, multi-malformation types were found in the exposure group, including delayed yolk sac absorption, lack of swim bladder, and spinal curvature. Metabolomic and transcriptomic results revealed alterations in metabolism with dysregulation in tricarboxylase acid cycle, amino acid metabolism, and disordered lipid metabolism with elevated levels of glycerophospholipid and sphingolipid. Accompanying these metabolic derangements, decreased levels of ATP and disordered oxidative-redox state were observed. These results were consistent with the damaged mitochondrial membrane potential and respiratory chain function, suggesting that the developmental toxicity and perturbed metabolic signaling in the F1 generation were related to the mitochondrial injury after exposing F0 female zebrafish to FF. Our findings highlighted the potential toxicity of FF to offspring generations even though they were not directly exposed to environmental contaminants.

Blood Biomarkers and Metabolomic Profiling for the Early Diagnosis of Vancomycin-Associated Acute Kidney Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Experimental Studies. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12091397.

Abstract
Background: several blood-based biomarkers have been proposed for predicting vancomycin-associated kidney injury (VIKI). However, no systematic analysis has compared their prognostic value. Objective: this systematic review and meta-analysis was designed to investigate the role of blood biomarkers and metabolomic profiling as diagnostic and prognostic predictors in pre-clinical studies of VIKI. Methods: a systematic search of PubMed was conducted for relevant articles from January 2000 to May 2022. Animal studies that administered vancomycin and studied VIKI were eligible for inclusion. Clinical studies, reviews, and non-English literature were excluded. The primary outcome was to investigate the relationship between the extent of VIKI as measured by blood biomarkers and metabolomic profiling. Risk of bias was assessed with the CAMARADES checklist the SYRCLE’s risk of bias tool. Standard meta-analysis methods (random-effects models) were used. Results: there were four studies for the same species, dosage, duration of vancomycin administration and measurement only for serum creatine and blood urea nitrogen in rats. A statistically significant increase was observed between serum creatinine in the vancomycin group compared to controls (pooled p = 0.037; Standardized Mean Difference: 2.93; 95% CI: 0.17 to 5.69; I2 = 92.11%). Serum BUN levels were not significantly different between control and vancomycin groups (pooled p = 0.11; SMD: 3.05; 95% CI: 0.69 to 6.8; I2 = 94.84%). We did not identify experimental studies using metabolomic analyses in animals with VIKI. Conclusions: a total of four studies in rodents only described outcomes of kidney injury as defined by blood biomarkers. Blood biomarkers represented included serum creatinine and BUN. Novel blood biomarkers have not been explored.

Abstract
Imipenem (IMP) possesses a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity; however, nephrotoxicity limits its clinical application in patients with renal insufficiency. In our previous studies, a dipeptide, JBP485, a dipeptide with the chemical structure cyclo-trans-4-L-hydroxyprolyl-L-serine, was found to attenuate drug-induced kidney injury. The current study aimed to explore whether JBP485 could relieve IMP-induced kidney injury and clarify the potential molecular pharmacokinetic mechanism. The effects of JBP485 on IMP nephrotoxicity were evaluated in rabbits and human kidney 2 (HK-2) cells. Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) mediated by organic anion transporters (OATs) and dehydropeptidase-I (DHP-I) were explored through pharmacokinetic studies in rats, metabolism assays in the kidney, and uptake studies in OAT-over-expressing cells. The results revealed that JBP485 significantly ameliorated IMP-induced nephrotoxicity in rabbits. Further, incubation of HK-2 cells with JBP485 or cilastatin markedly improved the cell survival rate, inhibited apoptosis and attenuated mitochondrial damage by improving the stability of IMP and reducing its intracellular accumulation. This suggests that DHP-I and OATs might be involved in the protective effect of JBP485. Furthermore, coadministration with JBP485 significantly increased the IMP's plasma concentration as well as the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC), while decreasing IMP renal clearance and cumulative urinary excretion. Moreover, JBP485 reduced IMP uptake in kidney slices and OAT1/3-human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells. At the same time, the metabolism of IMP by DHP-I was inhibited by JBP485 with an IC50 value of 12.15 ± 1.22 μM. Finally, the molecular docking assay revealed a direct interaction between JBP485 and OAT1/3 or DHP-I. In conclusion, JBP485 protected against IMP nephrotoxicity in rabbits and HK-2 cells by improving IMP stability and reducing its intracellular accumulation via simultaneous inhibition of renal OATs and DHP-I. JBP485 is a promising renoprotective agent and could serve as an effective supplement to reduce IMP-induced adverse renal reactions in the clinical setting.

Abstract
Background Vancomycin (VCM) is an antibiotic widely used to treat a range of serious bacterial infections; however, it is associated with nephrotoxicity. Vitamin C (VC) is a classical antioxidant that can alleviate various organ injuries and inflammatory responses by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. This study aimed to examine the effect of VC on VCM-related nephrotoxicity in mice. Methods Mice were randomized into four groups: control, VCM (400 mg/kg/day), VCM (400 mg/kg/day) + VC (200 mg/kg/day), and VC (200 mg/kg/day) groups. Both VCM and VC were administered via intraperitoneal injection for 7 d, after which kidney and blood samples were collected and evaluated. Creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) were measured. Results In the VCM group, kidney index, renal injury score, cell apoptosis, serum Cr and BUN, and kidney Cr, BUN, MDA, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and NF-κB were higher compared to the control group (all P<0.05), while body weight and kidney SOD activity were lower (both P<0.05). By contrast, no differences were observed between the control and VC groups (VC and VCM + VC groups) for all these indicators. Conclusions The antioxidant VC reduces VCM-related renal injury by reducing oxidative stress, cell apoptosis, and inflammation.

The Nephroprotective Effect of Zizyphus lotus L. (Desf.) Fruits in a Gentamicin-Induced Acute Kidney Injury Model in Rats: A Biochemical and Histopathological Investigation. Molecules 2021; 26:4806. [PMID: 34443393 PMCID: PMC8401527 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26164806] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2021] [Revised: 08/04/2021] [Accepted: 08/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Zizyphus lotus L. (Desf.) (Z. lotus) is a medicinal plant largely distributed all over the Mediterranean basin and is traditionally used by Moroccan people to treat many illnesses, including kidney failure. The nephrotoxicity of gentamicin (GM) has been well documented in humans and animals, although the preventive strategies against it remain to be studied. In this investigation, we explore whether the extract of Zizyphus lotus L. (Desf.) Fruit (ZLF) exhibits a protective effect against renal damage produced by GM. Indeed, twenty-four Wistar rats were separated into four equal groups of six each (♂/♀ = 1). The control group was treated orally with distilled water (10 mL/kg); the GM treated group received distilled water (10 mL/kg) and an intraperitoneal injection of GM (80 mg/kg) 3 h after; and the treated groups received ZLF extract orally at the doses 200 or 400 mg/kg and injected intraperitoneally with the GM. All treatments were given daily for 14 days. At the end of the experiment, the biochemical parameters and the histological observation related the kidney function was explored. ZLF treatment has significantly attenuated the nephrotoxicity induced by the GM. This effect was indicated by its capacity to decrease significantly the serum creatinine, uric acid, urea, alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl-transpeptidase, albumin, calcium, sodium amounts, water intake, urinary volume, and relative kidney weight. In addition, this effect was also shown by the increase in the creatinine clearance, urinary creatinine, uric acid, and urea levels, weight gain, compared to the rats treated only with the GM. The hemostasis of oxidants/antioxidants has been significantly improved with the treatment of ZLF extract, which was shown by a significant reduction in malondialdehydes levels. Histopathological analysis of renal tissue was correlated with biochemical observation. Chemical analysis by HPLC-DAD showed that the aqueous extract of ZLF is rich in phenolic compounds such as 3-hydroxycinnamic acid, catechin, ferulic acid, gallic acid, hydroxytyrosol, naringenin, p- coumaric Acid, quercetin, rutin, and vanillic acid. In conclusion, ZLF extract improved the nephrotoxicity induced by GM, through the improvement of the biochemical and histological parameters and thus validates its ethnomedicinal use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vancomycin and piperacillin/tazobactam are reported in clinical studies to increase acute kidney injury (AKI). However, no clinical study has demonstrated synergistic toxicity, only that serum creatinine increases. OBJECTIVES To clarify the potential for synergistic toxicity between vancomycin, piperacillin/tazobactam and vancomycin + piperacillin/tazobactam treatments by quantifying kidney injury in a translational rat model of AKI and using cell studies. METHODS (i) Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 32) received saline, vancomycin 150 mg/kg/day intravenously, piperacillin/tazobactam 1400 mg/kg/day intraperitoneally or vancomycin + piperacillin/tazobactam for 3 days. Urinary biomarkers and histopathology were analysed. (ii) Cellular injury was assessed in NRK-52E cells using alamarBlue®. RESULTS Urinary output increased from Day -1 to Day 1 with vancomycin but only after Day 2 for vancomycin + piperacillin/tazobactam-treated rats. Plasma creatinine was elevated from baseline with vancomycin by Day 2 and only by Day 4 for vancomycin + piperacillin/tazobactam. Urinary KIM-1 and clusterin were increased with vancomycin from Day 1 versus controls (P < 0.001) and only on Day 3 with vancomycin + piperacillin/tazobactam (P < 0.001, KIM-1; P < 0.05, clusterin). The histopathology injury score was elevated only in the vancomycin group when compared with piperacillin/tazobactam as a control (P = 0.04) and generally not so with vancomycin + piperacillin/tazobactam. In NRK-52E cells, vancomycin induced cell death with high doses (IC50 48.76 mg/mL) but piperacillin/tazobactam did not, and vancomycin + piperacillin/tazobactam was similar to vancomycin. CONCLUSIONS All groups treated with vancomycin demonstrated AKI; however, vancomycin + piperacillin/tazobactam was not worse than vancomycin. Histopathology suggested that piperacillin/tazobactam did not worsen vancomycin-induced AKI and may even be protective.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a global health challenge of vast proportions, as approx. 13.3% of people worldwide are affected annually. The pathophysiology of AKI is very complex, but its main causes are sepsis, ischemia, and nephrotoxicity. Nephrotoxicity is mainly associated with the use of drugs. Drug-induced AKI accounts for 19-26% of all hospitalized cases. Drug-induced nephrotoxicity develops according to one of the three mechanisms: (1) proximal tubular injury and acute tubular necrosis (ATN) (a dose-dependent mechanism), where the cause is related to apical contact with drugs or their metabolites, the transport of drugs and their metabolites from the apical surface, and the secretion of drugs from the basolateral surface into the tubular lumen; (2) tubular obstruction by crystals or casts containing drugs and their metabolites (a dose-dependent mechanism); (3) interstitial nephritis induced by drugs and their metabolites (a dose-independent mechanism). In this article, the mechanisms of the individual types of injury will be described. Specific groups of drugs will be linked to specific injuries. Additionally, the risk factors for the development of AKI and the methods for preventing and/or treating the condition will be discussed.

Protective Effects of Hydroalcoholic Extract of Rosa canina Fruit on Vancomycin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Rats. J Toxicol 2021; 2021:5525714. [PMID: 34135957 PMCID: PMC8177993 DOI: 10.1155/2021/5525714] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2021] [Revised: 03/19/2021] [Accepted: 05/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity (VIN) has been reported to occur in 5–35% of recipient patients. The aims of the study were to evaluate protective effects of Rosa canina (RC) on VIN in rats. Rats were randomly divided into five groups as follows: control group I, group II (received VAN 400 mg/kg/day, every 12 h at doses of 200 mg/kg/day, for 7 consecutive days), group III (VAN + RC 250 mg/kg/day, for 7 consecutive days), group IV (VAN + RC 500 mg/kg/day, for consecutive days), and group V (received RC 500 mg/kg/day, for consecutive 7 days). On the eighth day after anesthetizing the animals, blood samples were taken from the heart, and then, the kidneys were removed to investigate kidney function, oxidative stress, and histopathological marker. Also, the chemical composition of RC extract was identified by GC-MS analysis. Oral dose of 500 mg/kg RC extract significantly reduced the serum levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), malondialdehyde (MDA), and nitric oxide (NO) and also the kidney tissue MDA, protein carbonyl, and NO metabolites (nitrite) levels compared to the VAN-treated group (P < 0.05). Based on histopathological analysis, RC extract at the dose of 500 mg/kg inhibited the destructive effects of VAN on kidney tissues. GC-MS analysis indicated that the main compositions were found to be lactose (21.96%), 3-t-butyloxaziridine (20.91%), and 5-oxymethylfurfurole (16.75%). The results indicated that oral administration of RC was able to reduce VAN-induced nephrotoxicity in rats, possibly through antioxidant pathways.

[PMID: 34307986 PMCID: PMC8258501 DOI: 10.1016/j.ekir.2021.04.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2020] [Revised: 04/23/2021] [Accepted: 04/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Vancomycin nephrotoxicity is frequent and may be due to drug-induced acute tubular necrosis (ATN) or tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN). Vancomycin-associated tubular cast (VTC) was recently described and may represent a novel cause of vancomycin nephrotoxicity. However, much is still unknown about VTC. Materials and Methods Thirty-seven kidney biopsy specimens from patients who were treated with vancomycin and developed acute kidney injury (AKI) were found among a total of 4673 biopsy samples between 2010 and 2019. These biopsy specimens were subjected to light microscopy, immunofluorescence, electron microscopy, and immunolocalization for vancomycin, uromodulin, myoglobin, tubular segment–specific markers, and examined for VTCs. The findings were correlated with the clinical course. Results VTCs displayed precipitated vancomycin casts in a background of uromodulin; the casts were limited to the distal tubules, and always associated with a background of more diffuse renal injury (ATN or TIN). The diagnosis of vancomycin nephrotoxicity was made in in 28 of 37 patients. VTC was noted in 25 of 28 biopsy samples from patients diagnosed with vancomycin nephrotoxicity and in one of nine biopsy samples from patients without this diagnosis. Vancomycin nephrotoxicity was diagnosed in 25 of 26 patients whose biopsy specimens showed VTC, but in only 3 of 11 patients without VTC in the biopsy samples. Conclusions VTC displays a characteristic morphologic profile amenable to ready recognition in biopsy specimens. It results from coprecipitation of vancomycin and uromodulin. It facilitates the biopsy diagnosis of vancomycin nephrotoxicity. It may have a nephrotoxic effect superimposing on and independent from the ATN or interstitial nephritis in the pathogenesis of vancomycin nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
PURPOSE Clinical and preclinical evidences regarding new strategies for prevention of vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity are reviewed. METHODS Evidence from 2014 to end of 2019 was included. Finally, twelve animal studies and one clinical trial were evaluated. RESULTS Although incidence of vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity was not reduced significantly in the clinical trial, antioxidants reduced incidence of vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity in preclinical studies. CONCLUSIONS Antioxidants including vitamin C, vitamin E, cilastatin, melatonin, zingerone, rutin, naringenin, saffron, silymarin and dexmedetomidine were nephroprotective against vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity in preclinical studies. The nephroprotective effects of these antioxidants must be confirmed before routine use in the clinical practice.

Abstract
This study evaluated the potential of Punica granatum peel ethanol extract (PPEE) in attenuating the liver and kidney tissue injury induced by vancomycin (VM) treatment in rats. Fifty rats were distributed equally into five groups: control group, PPEE-administered group (100 mg/kg BW/day for 2 weeks; orally), VM-treated group (443.6 mg/kg BW, every alternate day for 2 weeks; intraperitoneally), pre-treated group, and concomitant-treated group. The biochemical response and the histopathology of the hepatic and renal tissue of the treated animals were assessed. The results showed that VM treatment induced substantial hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity, evidenced by a significant elevation in tissue injury and lipid oxidative (malondialdehyde) and inflammatory response (C-reactive protein) biomarkers, with lowered antioxidants and protein levels. Additionally, VM treatment induced various morphological, cytotoxic, vascular, and inflammatory perturbations as well as upregulation in the immune-expression of Caspase-3 and downregulation of BCL-2. Moreover, PPEE co-treatment was found to reduce the VM-induced toxicity by protecting the tissue against reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated oxidative damage, and inflammation as well as hinder the apoptotic cell death by modulating the expression of apoptosis-related proteins. Thus, we conclude that the PPEE administration showed more restoring efficacy when administered prior to VM medication.

Abstract
The renal proximal tubule cell line, human kidney 2 (HK-2), recapitulates many of the functional cellular and molecular characteristics of differentiated primary proximal tubule cells. These features include anchorage dependence, gluconeogenesis capability, and sodium-dependent sugar transport. In order to ascertain how well HK-2 cells can reliably reveal the toxicological profile of compounds having a potential to cause proximal tubule injury in vivo, we sought to evaluate the effects of known proximal tubule toxicants using the HK-2 cell line. We selected 20 pure nephrotoxic compounds that included chemotherapeutic drugs, antibiotics, and heavy metal-containing compounds and evaluated their ability to induce HK-2 cell injury relative to 10 innocuous pure compounds or cell culture media alone. We performed a comprehensive set of in vitro cellular toxicological assays to evaluate cell viability, oxidative stress, mitochondrial integrity, and a specific biomarker of renal injury, Kidney Injury Molecule 1. For each of our selected compounds, we were able to establish a reproducible profile of toxicological outcomes. We compared our results to those described in peer-reviewed publications to understand how well the HK-2 cellular model agrees with overall in vivo rat or human toxicological outcomes. This study begins to address the question of how well in vitro data generated with HK-2 cells can mirror in vivo animal and human outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cilastatin, a dehydropeptidase I inhibitor, has been used alongside imipenem, a broad spectrum antibiotic, in order to reduce its renal metabolism, consequently increasing its urinary recovery and effectiveness for many years. However, this measure could be useful in preventing imipenem-induced renal damage and decreasing the number of nephrotoxicity reports with imipenem. In this review, the authors gathered all available studies focusing on cilastatin use as a nephroprotective agent, beside well-known nephrotoxic medications like vancomycin, cisplatin, cyclosporine, or tacrolimus. AREAS COVERED PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Medline databases were searched using key words like 'cilastatin,' 'nephroprotective,' 'nephroprotection,' 'vancomycin,' 'nephrotoxicity,' 'cisplatin,' 'cyclosporine,' 'tacrolimus,' and 'prevention' with varying combinations. All relevant animal and human studies up to the date of publication were included. EXPERT OPINION It seems that cilastatin could potentially be effective against drug-induced nephrotoxicity via mechanisms such as reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, apoptosis, P-glycoprotein suppression, and morphological changes of renal cells. Nearly all the in vitro, in vivo and human studies have supported this hypothesis. Though since cilastatin protective effect has not extensively been researched in humans, its efficacy and widespread use with other nephrotoxic agents is yet to be defined in large well-designed human studies.

Abstract
The cellular redox balance plays a significant role in cell fate decisions and in the regulation of responses to various kinds of stress. In this study, we defined a novel concept of the oxidative-redox metabolome, and established a method for the simultaneous quantification of 23 metabolites involved in the oxidative-redox metabolome, covering NAD+ pathway, FAD pathway, GSSG pathway, and ATP pathway by using the AB SCIEX 5500 QTRAP LC/MS/MS system. Corresponding oxidative-redox metabolomics analysis was performed in plasma of humans, hamsters and mice, and hamsters were demonstrated to display a stronger resemblance than mice to humans. The known reductant dithiothreitol (DTT) and oxidant hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were selected to treat A549 and HeLa cells to validate the current method, showing that DTT moderately increased while H2O2 greatly decreased most analytes. Antibiotic treatment may disturb the oxidative-redox balance in vivo. By comparing the oxidative-redox metabolome in antibiotic-fed hamsters with that of control hamsters, we demonstrated a substantial metabolic disparity between the two, further verifying the applicability and reliability of our method.

Abstract
Classic toxicology studies often utilize in vivo animal models. Newer approaches employing in vitro organ-specific cellular models have been developed in recent years to help accelerate the speed and reduce the cost of traditional toxicology testing. Toward the goal of supporting in vitro cellular model research with a regulatory application in mind, we have developed a 'designer' human kidney cell line called HK2-Vi that can fluorescently measure the cytotoxicity of potential toxins on proximal tubule cell viability in a direct exposure in vitro model. HK2-Vi was designed to be a reagent-less kinetic assay that can yield data on short- or long-term cell viability after toxin exposure. To generate HK2-Vi, we used monocistronic lentiviral transduction methods to genetically engineer a human kidney cell line called HK-2 to stably co-express two transgenes. The first is Perceval HR, which encodes a fluorescent biosensor of both cytosolic ATP and ADP and the second is pHRed, which encodes a biosensor of cytosolic pH. Relative levels of cellular ATP and ADP effectively serve as a reliable and robust indicator of cell viability. Because the fluorescence Perceval HR is pH-dependent, we co-expressed the pHRed genetic biosensor to correct for variations in pH if necessary. Heterogenous populations of transduced renal cells were enriched by flow cytometry before monoclonal cellular populations were isolated by cell culture methods. A single clonal population of co-transduced cells expressing both Perceval HR and pHRed was selected to be HK2-Vi. This established cell line can now serve as a tool for in vitro toxicology testing and the methods described herein serve as a model for developing designer cell lines derived from other organs.

Cilastatin Preconditioning Attenuates Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury via Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1α Activation. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21103583.

Abstract
Cilastatin is a specific inhibitor of renal dehydrodipeptidase-1. We investigated whether cilastatin preconditioning attenuates renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury via hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) activation. Human proximal tubular cell line (HK-2) was exposed to ischemia, and male C57BL/6 mice were subjected to bilateral kidney ischemia and reperfusion. The effects of cilastatin preconditioning were investigated both in vitro and in vivo. In HK-2 cells, cilastatin upregulated HIF-1α expression in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Cilastatin enhanced HIF-1α translation via the phosphorylation of Akt and mTOR was followed by the upregulation of erythropoietin (EPO) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Cilastatin did not affect the expressions of PHD and VHL. However, HIF-1α ubiquitination was significantly decreased after cilastatin treatment. Cilastatin prevented the IR-induced cell death. These cilastatin effects were reversed by co-treatment of HIF-1α inhibitor or HIF-1α small interfering RNA. Similarly, HIF-1α expression and its upstream and downstream signaling were significantly enhanced in cilastatin-treated kidney. In mouse kidney with IR injury, cilastatin treatment decreased HIF-1α ubiquitination independent of PHD and VHL expression. Serum creatinine level and tubular necrosis, and apoptosis were reduced in cilastatin-treated kidney with IR injury, and co-treatment of cilastatin with an HIF-1α inhibitor reversed these effects. Thus, cilastatin preconditioning attenuated renal IR injury via HIF-1α activation.

Abstract
Vancomycin is a recommended therapy in multiple national guidelines. Despite the common use, there is a poor understanding of the mechanistic drivers and potential modifiers of vancomycin-mediated kidney injury. In this review, historic and contemporary rates of vancomycin-induced kidney injury (VIKI) are described, and toxicodynamic models and mechanisms of toxicity from preclinical studies are reviewed. Aside from known clinical covariates that worsen VIKI, preclinical models have demonstrated that various factors impact VIKI, including dose, route of administration, and thresholds for pharmacokinetic parameters. The degree of acute kidney injury (AKI) is greatest with the intravenous route and higher doses that produce larger maximal concentrations and areas under the concentration curve. Troughs (i.e., minimum concentrations) have less of an impact. Mechanistically, preclinical studies have identified that VIKI is a result of drug accumulation in proximal tubule cells, which triggers cellular oxidative stress and apoptosis. Yet, there are several gaps in the knowledge that may represent viable targets to make vancomycin therapy less toxic. Potential strategies include prolonging infusions and lowering maximal concentrations, administration of antioxidants, administering agents that decrease cellular accumulation, and reformulating vancomycin to alter the renal clearance mechanism. Based on preclinical models and mechanisms of toxicity, we propose potential strategies to lessen VIKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cilastatin (CL) is an inhibitor of dehydropeptidase-I, which is safely used in clinical practice to prevent nephrotoxicity of antibiotics. Tacrolimus (TAC) is the most important immunosuppressant in renal transplantation, but it causes considerable nephrotoxicity. We evaluated the protective effects of CL against chronic TAC-induced nephropathy. METHODS Chronic nephropathy was induced by administering TAC (1.5 mg/kg/ day, subcutaneous injection) to rats on a low-salt diet for 4 weeks. CL (75 or 150 mg/kg/day, intraperitoneal injection) was concomitantly treated with TAC. Human proximal tubular cells were exposed to TAC (50 μg/mL) with or without CL (250 μg/mL). We investigated the effects of CL on TAC-induced injury in terms of renal function, tubulointerstitial fibrosis, and inflammation. The effects of CL on oxidative stress and apoptosis were evaluated in both in vivo and in vitro models of TAC nephrotoxicity. RESULTS CL treatment improved TAC-induced renal dysfunction and decreased renal interstitial fibrosis (reduced expression of e-cadherin and TGFβ-1) and interstitial inflammation (decreased infiltration of ED-1-positive and osteopontin-positive cells). Compared to TAC treatment alone, CL co-treatment reduced oxidative stress (serum 8-OHdG level and immunoreactivity of 8-OHdG and 4-HHE in renal tissue) and increased renal expression of anti-oxidant enzyme, manganese superoxide dismutase. CL treatment decreased apoptotic cell death (decreased TUNEL-positive cells and reduced expression of active caspase-3) in TAC-treated kidney. In vitro CL treatment prevented tubular cell death from TAC treatment and decreased number of annexin V-positive cells were observed in cilastatin-cotreated cells. CONCLUSION CL has protective effects against chronic TAC-induced nephrotoxicity owing to its anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic properties.

Rutin Attenuates Vancomycin-Induced Nephrotoxicity by Ameliorating Oxidative Stress, Apoptosis, and Inflammation in Rats. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2018; 63:AAC.01545-18. [PMID: 30397060 DOI: 10.1128/aac.01545-18] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2018] [Accepted: 10/25/2018] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Nephrotoxicity is the major limiting factor for the clinical use of vancomycin (VCM) for treatment of serious infections caused by multiresistant Gram-positive bacteria. This study investigated the renal protective activity of rutin in a rat model of VCM-induced kidney injury in male Wistar rats. VCM administered intraperitoneally at 200 mg/kg twice daily for 7 successive days resulted in significant elevation of blood urea nitrogen and creatinine, as well as urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase. Coadministration of VCM with oral rutin at 150 mg/kg significantly reduced these markers of kidney damage. Rutin also significantly attenuated VCM-induced oxidative stress, inflammatory cell infiltration, apoptosis, and decreased interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor alpha levels (all P < 0.05 or 0.01) in kidneys. Renal recovery from VCM injury was achieved by rutin through increases in Nrf2 and HO-1 and a decrease in NF-κB expression. Our results demonstrated a protective effect of rutin on VCM-induced kidney injury through suppression of oxidative stress, apoptosis, and downregulation of the inflammatory response. This study highlights a role for oral rutin as an effective intervention to ameliorate nephrotoxicity in patients undergoing VCM therapy.

Abstract
Vancomycin (VCM), a glycopeptide antibiotic, is a drug widely used in severe infections. However, VCM induce notable nephrotoxic side effects. Naringenin (NAR) is a natural of flavonoid and are known as strongly antioxidant, nefroprotective, antiapoptotic, and anti-inflammatory. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential protective effects of NAR against VCM-induced nephrotoxicity by measuring apoptotic and oxidative stress markers and evaluating histopathological alterations in rats. For this purpose, we used male Wistar albino rats that divided into seven groups: (i) Control [saline, intraperitoneally (i.p.)], (ii) carboxymethyl cellulose (0.5% CMC, orally), (iii) VCM (400 mg/kg, i.p.), (iv) NAR100 (100 mg/kg, orally), (v) VCM + NAR25 (25 mg/kg, orally), (vi) VCM + NAR50 (50 mg/kg, orally), and (vii) VCM + NAR100 (100 mg/kg, orally) groups. VCM administration was started one day after the first treatment of NAR and continued across 7-day. Caspase-3, -8, and-9 activities and malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) levels were measured by colorimetric methods in the kidney tissues, creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels were analyzed based on ELISA in serum. Caspase-3 and -8 activities, NO levels, serum creatinine and BUN levels were significantly higher in VCM group in comparison with VCM + NAR (25, 50, and 100) groups (p < 0.05). Caspase-9 activity and MDA were significantly higher in VCM group compared to VCM + NAR (25 and 50) groups (p < 0.05). Histopathological alterations in VCM group were significantly diminished by administration of NAR, especially NAR 25. In conclusion, NAR 25 and 50 mg have more potent protective effects on VCM-induced nephrotoxicity compared to NAR 100 mg.

Abstract
The kidney is a major clearance organ of the body and is responsible for the elimination of many xenobiotics and prescription drugs. With its multitude of uptake and efflux transporters and metabolizing enzymes, the proximal tubule cell (PTC) in the nephron plays a key role in the disposition of xenobiotics and is also a primary site for toxicity. In this minireview, we first provide an overview of the major transporters and metabolizing enzymes in the PTCs responsible for biotransformation and disposition of drugs. Next, we discuss different cell sources that have been used to model PTCs in vitro, their pros and cons, and their characterization. As current technology is inadequate to evaluate reliably drug disposition and toxicity in the kidney, we then discuss recent advancements in kidney microphysiological systems (MPS) and the need to develop robust in vitro platforms that could be routinely used by pharmaceutical companies to screen compounds. Finally, we discuss the new and exciting field of stem cell-derived kidney models as potential cell sources for future kidney MPS. Given the push from both regulatory agencies and pharmaceutical companies to use more predictive "human-like" in vitro systems in the early stages of drug development to reduce attrition, these emerging models have the potential to be a game changer and may revolutionize how renal disposition and kidney toxicity in drug discovery are evaluated in the future.

Br J Clin Pharmacol 2018; 84:1706-1718. [PMID: 29607531 DOI: 10.1111/bcp.13594] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2017] [Revised: 03/06/2018] [Accepted: 03/17/2018] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS The objective of the present study was to investigate the current situation concerning, and risk factors for, vancomycin (VAN)-induced acute kidney injury (VI-AKI) in elderly Chinese patients, to assess outcomes and risk factors in patients who have developed VI-AKI, in order to provide suggestions for improving the prevention and treatment of this condition in these patients. METHOD We retrospectively identified elderly older inpatients who had received four or more doses of VAN treatment. We compared patients with VI-AKI with those who received VAN treatment and had not developed AKI (NO-AKI). We defined VI-AKI as developing AKI during VAN therapy or within 3 days after withdrawal of VAN. RESULTS A total of 647 out of 862 elderly inpatients were included in the study. Among those excluded, in 89.3% of cases (192/215) this was because of lack of data on serum creatinine (SCr). Among included patients, 32.5% (210/647) of patients received therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) during VAN therapy. In 66.9% of cases (424/634), there was insufficient TDM, and in 3.9% (25/634) this was appropriate. A total of 102 patients had confirmed VI-AKI, with an incidence of 15.8% (102/647). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that hyperuricaemia [odds ratio (OR) = 3.045; P = 0.000)], mechanical ventilation (OR = 1.906; P = 0.022) and concomitant vasopressor therapy (OR = 1.919; P = 0.027) were independent risk factors for VI-AKI; higher serum albumin (OR = 0.885; P = 0.000) was determined to be an independent protective factor for VI-AKI. CONCLUSIONS For the elderly Chinese patients treated with VAN, there was insufficient monitoring of SCr, too little use of VAN TDM, and lower rate of patients whose VAN though serum concentrations were not obtained at the correct time. We recommend that hospital managers increase investment in clinical pharmacists, to strengthen professional management. Patients with concomitant hyperuricaemia and on mechanical ventilation and vasopressor therapy should be paid more attention, and a higher serum albumin was determined to be an independent protective factor for VI-AKI.

Biopsy-proven vancomycin-induced acute kidney injury: a case report and literature review. BMC Nephrol 2018; 19:72.

Abstract
Background Vancomycin is the first-line antibiotic for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative strains. The risk of vancomycin-induced acute kidney injury increases with plasma vancomycin levels. Vancomycin-induced acute kidney injury is histologically characterized by acute interstitial nephritis and/or acute tubular necrosis. However, only 12 biopsy-proven cases of vancomycin-induced acute kidney injury have been reported so far, as renal biopsy is rarely performed for such cases. Current recommendations for the prevention or treatment of vancomycin-induced acute kidney injury are drug monitoring of plasma vancomycin levels using trough level and drug withdrawal. Oral prednisone and high-flux haemodialysis have led to the successful recovery of renal function in some biopsy-proven cases. Case presentation We present the case of a 41-year-old man with type 1 diabetes mellitus, who developed vancomycin-induced acute kidney injury during treatment for Fournier gangrene. His serum creatinine level increased to 1020.1 μmol/L from a baseline of 79.6 μmol/L, and his plasma trough level of vancomycin peaked at 80.48 μg/mL. Vancomycin discontinuation and frequent haemodialysis with high-flux membrane were immediately performed following diagnosis. Renal biopsy showed acute tubular necrosis and focal acute interstitial nephritis, mainly in the medullary rays (medullary ray injury). There was no sign of glomerulonephritis, but mild diabetic changes were detected. He was discharged without continuing haemodialysis (serum creatinine level, 145.0 μmol/L) 49 days after initial vancomycin administration. Conclusions This case suggests that frequent haemodialysis and renal biopsy could be useful for the treatment and assessment of vancomycin-induced acute kidney injury, particularly in high-risk cases or patients with other renal disorders.

Abstract
The clinical use of glycopeptide antibiotic vancomycin is usually accompanied by nephrotoxicity, limiting its application and therapeutic efficiency. The aim of this study was to investigate the protection of DHA-enriched phosphatidylcholine (DHA-PC) against nephrotoxicity using a model of vancomycin-induced male BALB/c mice with renal injury by measuring death curves, histological changes, and renal function indexes. The addition of DHA in DHA and DHA-PC groups were 300 mg/kg per day on the basis of human intake level in our study. Results indicated that DHA-PC could dramatically extend the survival time of mice, while traditional DHA and PC had no significant effects. Moreover, oral administration of DHA-PC exhibited better effects on reducing vancomycin-induced increases of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, cystatin C, and kidney injury molecule-1 levels than traditional DHA and PC. DHA-PC significantly delayed the development of vancomycin-induced renal injury, including tubular necrosis, hyaline casts, and tubular degeneration. A further mechanistic study revealed that the protective effect of DHA-PC on vancomycin-mediated toxicity might be attributed to its ability to inhibit oxidative stress and inactivate mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways, which was associated with upregulation of Bcl-2 and downregulation of caspase-9, caspase-3, cytochrome-c, p38, and JNK. These findings suggest that DHA-PC may be acted as the dietary supplements or functional foods against vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity.
