Abstract

The incidence of acute renal failure, defined by the risk, injury, or failure criteria of the RIFLE criteria (risk, injury, failure, loss, and end-stage kidney disease), in 66 patients who received colistimethate sodium was 45%, and 21% of patients stopped therapy because of nephrotoxicity. The RIFLE criteria should be used in the future to allow for comparison of nephrotoxicity among studies.
