  • Title: Nephrotoxicity of common drugs used in clinical practice.
    Author: Cooper K, Bennett WM.
    Journal: Arch Intern Med; 1987 Jul; 147(7):1213-8. PubMed ID: 3300586.
    Abstract:
    Drug-induced nephrotoxicity is an increasingly recognized complication of a wide variety of therapeutic agents. The nephrotoxicity of three of the most commonly used drug groups are reviewed in this article. They include antibiotics, radiocontrast agents, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Since the clinical spectrum of drug-induced nephrotoxicity is broad, it is imperative that the clinician recognize these nephrotoxic syndromes while they are reversible with discontinuation of the offending drug.
