Clinical Significance of Nephrotoxicity in Patients Treated with Amphotericin B for Suspected or Proven Aspergillosis
Abstract
The records of 239 immunosuppressed patients receiving amphotericin B for suspected or proven aspergillosis were reviewed to determine rates of nephrotoxicity, dialysis, and fatality. The mean and median durations of treatment were 20.4 and 15.0 days, respectively. The creatinine level doubled in 53% of patients and exceeded 2.5 mg/dL in 29%; 14.5% underwent dialysis; and 60% died. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis showed that patients whose creatinine level exceeded 2.5 mg/dL (hazard ratio [HR], 42.02; P<.001), allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) patients (HR, 6.34; P<. 001), and autologous BMT patients (HR, 5.06; P=.024) were at greatest risk for requiring hemodialysis. Use of hemodialysis (HR, 3. 089; P<.001), duration of amphotericin B use (HR, 1.03 per day; P=. 015), and use of nephrotoxic agents (HR, 1.96; P=.017) were associated with greater risk of death, whereas patients undergoing solid organ transplantation were at lowest risk (HR, 0.46; P=.002). These data indicate that elevated creatinine levels during amphotericin B treatment are associated with a substantial risk for hemodialysis and a higher mortality rate, but the risks vary in different patient groups.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
