Comparing Kidney Risk with Vancomycin Combinations
This study is for hospitalized adults with suspected or confirmed infections who are being treated with vancomycin. Researchers want to compare the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) when vancomycin is given with either piperacillin-tazobactam or cefepime. Both combinations are commonly used, but there's a question about whether one might be safer for your kidneys. The study will measure a specific marker in your blood called Serum Cystatin C Concentration to see how your kidneys are doing. The goal is to understand which combination might be less likely to cause kidney problems. The study aims to enroll 750 participants, but its current status is unclear.
