ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the feasibility and importance of active monitoring of vancomycin‐related nephrotoxicity .Meth‐ods During July 2010 to July 2013 ,a total of 139 cases of inpatients received vancomycin through intravenous injection were en‐rolled in this study .The adverse drug reaction active monitoring and early warning system were utilized to evaluate patients with vancomycin positive events .Results Among the 139 cases of patients ,there was 9 cases of patients with renal damage .The inci‐dences of compensatory stage of renal insufficiency ,decompensatory stage of renal insufficiency ,renal failure stage and end‐stage re‐nal failure were 44 .44% ,22 .22% ,22 .22% and 11 .11% respectively .The positive warning rates when serum creatinine level was above 133 μmol/L ,increased by 50% compared with the baseline ,increased with 44 μmol/L based on the baseline were 55 .56% , 22 .22% and 22 .22% respectively ,and those positive warning rates in artificial relevance evaluation were 19 .18% ,19 .18% and 56 .54% respectively .Conclusion It is necessary to individualize utilization of vancomycin according to patients′s condition .
