Abstract
Background: Fosravuconazole L-lysine ethanolate (F-RVCZ) is a prodrug of ravuconazole and a triazole antifungal drug used for the treatment of onychomycosis. It has been reported in previous studies that the kidney injury caused by F-RVCZ is 1% or less.
Methods: Serum creatinine levels were compared, and glomerular filtration rate and urine protein were estimated before and after starting the administration of F-RVCZ, as well as after the end of the administration period. The cause of kidney injury was investigated using renal pathology, and risk factors were also investigated.
Results: F-RVCZ was administered to 46 patients. Ten of these patients were excluded because three were maintenance dialysis patients and seven were not measured for serum creatinine. Remaining 36 patients were included in the analyses. Kidney injury occurred in 27.8% of patients treated with F-RVCZ; this condition persisted in 10% of patients after the end of the administration period. No changes were observed in the urinalysis after the administration of F-RVCZ. A kidney biopsy was performed in one patient, but no lesions were found that could be the cause of kidney injury. Patients who developed kidney injury were significantly more likely to be receiving angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers (odds ratio 18.9, 95% confidential interval: 1.69-210, p = 0.0169).
Conclusion: Kidney injury is caused by F-RVCZ more frequently than previously reported, but the mechanism remains unclear.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Experimental Nephrology is a peer-reviewed monthly journal, officially published by the Japanese Society of Nephrology (JSN) to provide an international forum for the discussion of research and issues relating to the study of nephrology. Out of respect for the founders of the JSN, the title of this journal uses the term “nephrology,” a word created and brought into use with the establishment of the JSN (Japanese Journal of Nephrology, Vol. 2, No. 1, 1960). The journal publishes articles on all aspects of nephrology, including basic, experimental, and clinical research, so as to share the latest research findings and ideas not only with members of the JSN, but with all researchers who wish to contribute to a better understanding of recent advances in nephrology. The journal is unique in that it introduces to an international readership original reports from Japan and also the clinical standards discussed and agreed by JSN.
