Diagnostic Value of Multiple Serum Biomarkers for Vancomycin-Induced Kidney Injury

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major contributor to in-hospital morbidity and mortality. Vancomycin, one of the most commonly used antibiotics in a clinical setting, is associated with AKI, with its incidence ranging up to 43%. Despite the high demand, few studies have investigated serum biomarkers to detect vancomycin-induced kidney injury (VIKI). Here, we evaluated the diagnostic value of nine candidate serum biomarkers for VIKI. A total of...
