About

Acute renal injury is a common complication of critical illness. Drug induced renal insult compounds the degree of injury in many patients, and a great deal of research has focused on prevention of this complication. Traditional biomarkers of renal injury like serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen content fail to consistently predict harm among patients at risk. Kidney Injury Molecule 1 (KIM-1) will be studied as a biomarker of renal injury.

Inclusion criteria

• Eligible patients are male or female adults ≥18 years of age with an expected hospital stay of at least 48 hours.

Exclusion criteria

• Exclusion criteria will include patients who have stage 3or greater Chronic Kidney Disease or who have acute kidney injury prior to the start of intravenous vancomycin therapy, patients that only receive one dose of IV vancomycin or linezolid in total, as well as patients with potentially altered pharmacokinetic parameters (pregnant patients, burn patients, and those that are morbidly obese (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2).
• Additionally, patients will be excluded if they are to receive more than 1 concurrent nephrotoxic medication within the prior 72 hours, have received intravenous contrast within 120 hours before randomization, exhibit baseline hematuria, or baseline proteinuria.
