Vancomycin-associated acute kidney injury in patients with moderate CKD: a multicentre retrospective cohort study.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

In a study of over 1,200 people with moderate kidney disease, the antibiotic vancomycin caused sudden kidney injury in about 18% of patients. This shows a strong link between the drug and harm, but it cannot prove the drug caused every case.
