Abstract

Drug-induced nephrotoxicity, also called drug-induced kidney disease (DKD), affects 14% to 26% of adult patients and 16% of pediatric patients. However, the incidence of ERIF can be as high as 66%. Among older adults, the incidence is higher, since they are characterized by multiple diseases, polypharmacy and, therefore, are subject to diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that can damage the kidneys. Renal dysfunction is usually reversible upon discontinuation of the offending drug; however, it can cause irreversible structural damage. Nephrotoxicity manifests itself in a broad spectrum, reflecting damage to different segments of the nephron, including the glomerular and tubular segments.
