Can gentamicin cause kidney damage

summary

Some drugs can cause certain damage to the kidney, especially for patients with weak renal function. When taking drugs, they should pay special attention not to cause harm to their own body. Let's talk about whether gentamicin can cause kidney damage.

Can gentamicin cause kidney damage

First, drug-induced renal damage refers to the adverse reactions of the kidney to the therapeutic dose of drugs and the toxic reactions due to excessive or unreasonable use of drugs. It is a group of diseases caused by different drugs, including Chinese herbal medicine, with different clinical characteristics and different pathological types.

Second: gentamicin belongs to aminoglycoside antibiotics, which has nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. Generally speaking, if the time is relatively short, it will recover. If the time is long and the dosage is relatively large, it is hard to say. Blood can be drawn from fasting state for renal function examination to determine whether there is renal failure.

Third, we should pay attention to the early diagnosis of drug-induced renal damage and improve the vigilance of the disease. Due to the lack of understanding of drug-induced renal damage by clinicians, the lack of characteristic clinical manifestations of some drug-induced nephropathy, and the huge compensatory capacity of the kidney, drug-induced nephropathy is not easy to be found early, and the symptoms of drug poisoning are often mistaken for the symptoms of renal insufficiency uremia, resulting in delayed diagnosis and treatment.

matters needing attention

Any drug has a certain impact on the body, especially in the long-term use, so we must confirm our own physical condition, and take the drug after it has no harm to the body.
