Abstract
Background
The incidence rates of acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with amphotericin B lipid complex (ABLC) and liposomal amphotericin B (L-AMB) are inconsistent across studies.
Aims
This study aimed to assess the AKI incidence rates in the largest cohort of patients undergoing ABLC and L-AMB treatment for invasive fungal diseases (IFD) in individuals with hematological cancers.
Methods
This was a multicenter, international, retrospective cohort study involving patients treated with either L-AMB or ABLC for IFD. All patients had a diagnosed malignant hematological disease. Various clinical and epidemiological variables were examined, including the concurrent use of nephrotoxic drugs. The primary outcome was the incidence of AKI.
Results
A total of 637 patients were included in the study, with 294 patients in the ABLC group and 343 patients in the L-AMB group. The most common diagnosis was acute leukemia (56%), followed by lymphoma (22%). The predominant classification of IFD was probable (43%). ABLC was associated with an increased likelihood of inducing grade 1 and 2 nephrotoxicity compared to L-AMB (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis identified age, vancomycin, and polymyxin use as independent risk factors for AKI. However, serum creatinine levels returned to baseline in 95.3% of patients.
Conclusion
Nephrotoxicity associated with L-AMB was lower than that associated with ABLC in patients with hematological cancer. Most AKI cases were mild to moderate and did not have significant short-term impact.
期刊介绍:
Revista Iberoamericana de Micología (Ibero-American Journal of Mycology) is the official journal of the Asociación Española de Micología, Asociación Venezolana de Micología and Asociación Argentina de Micología (The Spanish, Venezuelan, and Argentinian Mycology Associations). The Journal gives priority to publishing articles on studies associated with fungi and their pathogenic action on humans and animals, as well as any scientific studies on any aspect of mycology. The Journal also publishes, in Spanish and in English, original articles, reviews, mycology forums, editorials, special articles, notes, and letters to the editor, that have previously gone through a scientific peer review process.
