Miscellaneous drugs with nephrotoxic potential (Sulfonamides, sulfadiazine, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, pentamidine, pyrimethamine, dapsone, quinolones)

  • Chapter
Clinical Nephrotoxins

Abstract

A number of drugs of miscellaneous class are capable of producing various degrees of renal damage and will be reviewed in this Chapter. Some have been used extensively in the past for the treatment of general infections (sulfonamides), others have had specific indications (pentamidine, dapsone), and others such as quinolones are of more recent application. Many of these, however, have become currently important because of their use in the various complications occurring in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Table 1 lists drugs commonly used in patients with AIDS that are known to be nephrotoxic, whereas Table 2 lists those that are known not to be toxic to the kidneys.
