ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The authors had for aim to define the threshold of nephrotoxicity before switching to other antifungal treatment in hematological patients treated by conventional amphotericin B (AmB) as an empiric antifungal treatment.DESIGN:
A prospective randomised multicenter study was made on 32 neutropenic hematological patients receiving conventional AmB for empirical antifungal treatment. The patients were randomised after a greater than or equal to 30% increase of serum creatinine (sCr). Patients in the early-switch group received liposomal AmB just after randomisation and patients in the late-switch group received liposomal AmB only when serum creatinine increase was greater or equal to 100% or sCr reached 170mumol/L.RESULTS:
Thirty-one patients were analysed 16 patients in the early-switch group and 15 patients in the late-switch group (seven switched to liposomal AmB and eight continued conventional AmB treatment). The mean age of patients was 48 years and 68% were men. The most frequent underlying haematological malignancy was acute leukemia (94%). In the late-switch group, the degradation of renal function continued after randomisation contrary to the early-switch group median variations of calculated sCr clearance in early- and late-switch groups were -16.8 and -1.5%, respectively (P=0.03). Moreover, an early switch was cost-effective with a sCr lower duration of hospitalisation in comparison with a late switch.CONCLUSIONS:
This randomised trial suggests that an early switch to Liposomal AmB improves and preserves renal function in comparison with a late switch.
