Abstract

The differential diagnosis of vancomycin associated renal toxicity includes acute tubular necrosis and interstitial nephritis. We report a case of vancomycin induced renal toxicity shown by Tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine renal scan. Nephrotoxicity was evolved secondary to vancomycin used for treating a patient with meningitis. Tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine renal scan may play a role in differentiation between acute tubular necrosis and tubulointerstitial nephritis of vancomycin associated renal toxicity and can facilitate the clinical decision making.

Resumen

El diagnóstico diferencial de toxicidad renal asociada a la vancomicina incluye la necrosis tubular aguda y la nefritis intersticial. Se presenta un caso de toxicidad renal inducida por vancomicina, demostrada en el renograma con 99mTc-MAG3. La nefrotoxicidad se desarrolló secundariamente a vancomicina utilizada en el tratamiento de un paciente con meningitis. El renograma con 99mTc-MAG3 puede desempeñar un papel en el diagnóstico diferencial entre necrosis tubular aguda y nefritis tubulointersticial en caso de toxicidad renal asociada a vancomicina y puede facilitar la toma de decisiones clínicas.
