The concomitant use of vancomycin and aminoglycosides also significantly increases the risk of renal toxicity even more than when receiving any one therapy alone [18]. Patients typically recover from vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity if the antibiotic is discontinued or dosage is appropriately adjusted [18]. Aminoglycosides Aminoglycosides cover both Gram-negative bacilli and Gram-positive cocci, and despite years of use, bacterial resistance to aminoglycosides has not significantly increased.
The major determinants of HCO3– reabsorption include luminal HCO3– concentration, luminal pH, luminal flow rate, peritubular partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2), and luminal and peritubular concentrations of angiotensin II. HCO3– that is not reabsorbed in the PCT gets reabsorbed by the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle via the NHE3 Na+/H+ exchanger and an electrogenic H+-ATPase. Some HCO3– is also reabsorbed in the collecting duct via an H+-ATPase. 0 [39]. Metabolic Acidosis Metabolic acidosis is common in critically ill patients, characterized by a primary reduction in the serum HCO3– concentration, resulting in a decrease in the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and a decrease in blood pH.
4 times the upper limit of normal. In patients with high risk of bleeding, regional citrate anticoagulation can be administered. Acid–Base Regulation by the Kidneys The systemic acid–base balance is maintained when the renal net acid excretion equals the body’s net endogenous acid production. Under normal conditions, the 80–85 % of filtered bicarbonate (HCO3–) is reabsorbed through the proximal convoluted tubules (PCT), where carbonic anhydrase II (CA II) splits cytosolic H2CO3 into H+ and HCO3–.
