Evaluation of renal effects of liposomal amphotericin B in children with malignancies with KDIGO and RIFLE criteria

CONCLUSIONS: Hypokalemia was more common compared to glomerulotoxicity and acute renal injury (according to KDIGO and RIFLE criteria) in pediatric leukemia patients treated with L-AmB. Hypokalemia developed in nearly half of the patients and the study shows the need for randomized controlled trials and strategies for hypokalemia associated with L-AmB treatment.PMID:34535406 | DOI:10.1016/j.nephro.2021.06.007
