Gentamicin- and cephalothin-associated rises in blood urea nitrogen

W L Fanning et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1976 Jul.

Abstract

Standardized rates of drug-attributed rises in blood urea nitrogen were 8.6%, 2.9%, and 9.3%, respectively, in patients receiving gentamicin alone, cephalothin alone, and both drugs together. These results provide evidence against a substantial synergism between the two drugs in the production of impaired renal function.
