Abstract

The tubular disposition of five aminoglycosides was studied in humans to establish a possible relationship between tubular reabsorption and the nephrotoxicity that has been described in the literature. Thirty-three healthy male volunteers received a continuous intravenous infusion of isotonic saline with inulin, followed 1 h later by inulin plus gentamicin, dibekacin, tobramycin, netilmicin, or amikacin (1 mg/kg per h) or amikacin (4 mg/kg per h) over a period of 2 h. Brain-stem-evoked response audiometry was performed both before and at the end of each infusion. The latency of wave V remained constant whichever antibiotic was considered. The glomerular filtration rate did not vary significantly during the infusion of each drug. The percent fractional excretion was 79 +/- 6, 81 +/- 22, 85 +/- 5, and 99 +/- 9 for gentamicin, dibekacin, tobramycin, and netilmicin, respectively, and 83 +/- 4 and 124 +/- 13 for amikacin at concentrations of 1 and 4 mg/kg per h, respectively. Net balance and renal clearance were similar for the five aminoglycosides when administered at a rate of 1 mg/kg per h. With gentamicin only, fractional excretion was correlated with the urinary flow rate. We can conclude that (i) gentamicin, generally considered the most nephrotoxic agent, had the highest degree of net reabsorption; (ii) netilmicin exhibited a net zero tubular balance; (iii) amikacin had different patterns of tubular disposition according to the dose, i.e., reabsorption at 1 mg/kg per h and secretion at 4 mg/kg per h, raising the hypothesis of a saturable process of reabsorption; and (iv) these differences in tubular reabsorption could account at least in part for the known different nephrotoxic potentials of these five aminoglycosides in humans.
