ABSTRACT
Background: The increased infections due to multiresistant gramnegative bacteria and loss therapeutic resources have led to the use of colistimethate sodium in clinical practice, originally abandoned due to its high nephrotoxicity. The mechanisms of renal toxicity are not well understood but are believed to be dose-dependent.Objective: To establish the relationship between the cumulative dose of colistimethate and nephrotoxicity.
Material and method: A retrospective cohort of four years including 24 patients who received intravenous colistimethate for more than 72 hours in a hospital in Mexico City to determine the correlation between cumulative dose of colistimethate and nephrotoxicity.
Results: Eleven patients developed nephrotoxicity. Mean cumulative dose in patients with nephrotoxicity was 2,400 mg-2,700 mg vs those who did not develop (p=0.18), the dosege was of 4.53 vs 3.61 mg/kg/day, p=0.67. Prior diagnosis of diabetes mellitus was an inddependent predictor for developing renal toxicity.
Conclusions: In this retrospective cohort study, the incidence of nephrotoxicity was demonstrated in 11 of 24 patients; however, there is no significant relationship betwen cumulative dose or dose-mg/kg/day and nephrotoxicity. The most significantwith previous diagnosis risk factor for nephrotoxicity found in patients with previous diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.
