Description
The article comments on the retrospective cohort study "Risk of acute kidney injury in patients on concomitant vancomycin and piperacillin-tazobactam compared to those on vancomycin and cefepime" by B. Navalkele and colleagues. The study found that vancomycin paired with piperacillin-tazobactam increases the risk of acute kidney injury. It recommends clinicians to weigh the risks and benefits of vancomycin and piperacillin-tazobactam given the onset of acute kidney injury.
