Aminoglycoside nephrotoxicity: do time and frequency of administration matter?

Abstract: Aminoglycosides remains the mainstay in the treatment of gram-negative infections despite their potential oto-and nephrotoxicity although alternatives with equal or better efficacy are available. Several approaches were investigated to decrease aminoglycosides nephrotoxicity. Among them, only the once-daily dosing of aminoglycosides has been brought to the clinic and physicians are now increasingly adopting this approach to reduce the toxicity of these agents. The incidence of aminoglycoside nephrotoxicity can… Show more

“…The mechanisms associated with temporal variations in AG nephrotoxicity are not completely understood, but two hypotheses can be given. First, temporal variations in PK parameters may be of crucial importance, and second, food intake or the activity period may be of crucial importance (2). The relation between food intake and the interactions of AGs with renal tubular cells seems to be linked to the urine pH (2).…”

“…First, temporal variations in PK parameters may be of crucial importance, and second, food intake or the activity period may be of crucial importance (2). The relation between food intake and the interactions of AGs with renal tubular cells seems to be linked to the urine pH (2). The interaction is stronger at low pH than at high pH, since these molecules are fully protonated at low pH.…”

“…The nephrotoxicity was 34.6% during periods of resting (midnight to 7:30 a.m.) against 12.5% (8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) and 9.3% (4:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.) during active periods [50]. This variation is related to alterations in urinary pH, as there is greater interaction of aminoglycosides and anionic phospholipids when the pH is low [78]. It was seen, both in animals and humans, that the urinary pH is higher during activity and after eating and lower during rest and low food intake [79].…”

“…Surprisingly, it has been found that nephrotoxicity varies according to the time of day at which the drug is administered. Administration during active periods (1:30 pm) has been shown to be associated with less nephrotoxicity compared with administration during rest periods (1:30 am) (Beauchamp and Labrecque 2001 ).…”
