Erythropoietin concentration in amphotericin B-induced anemia.
Amphotericin B was given to six patients with systemic fungal infections. A dose averaging 1.78 g, administered from 42 to 144 days, was associated with a fall in hematocrit to a mean value of 25.8%. Despite this degree of anemia, no elevation of erythropoietin concentrations in urine or serum could be detected. Thus, amphotericin appears to cause anemia by inhibiting erythropoietin production ...
متن کاملApoptosis contributes to amphotericin B-induced nephrotoxicity.
The aim of this study was to investigate whether apoptosis contributes to nephrotoxicity caused by amphotericin B (AmB). By detecting apoptosis-specific DNA fragmentation, it is demonstrated that proximal tubular cells (LLC-PK(1)) and medullary interstitial cells (RMIC) respond with programmed cell death when treated with therapeutic doses of AmB. Concomitant application of AmB and recombinant ...
متن کاملTransient posterior encephalopathy induced by chemotherapy in children.
The cases of three children, 16, 12, and 12 years of age, who suffered sudden confusional state and cortical blindness lasting 12 to 30 minutes while under treatment with high-dose methotrexate, cyclophosphamide, and dactinomycin for a lower limb osteosarcoma are reported. Transient neuropsychologic deficits arose after the acute phase of treatment: left hemispatial neglect and constructive apr...
متن کاملEnhancement of rIn:rCn-induced interferon production by amphotericin B.
When mouse L929 cells are treated with amphotericin B before exposure to polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidylic acid or polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidylic acid-dextran, they make significantly more interferon than do cells not receiving amphotericin. This effect may be due to enhanced cell membrane penetration by the polynucleotide.
متن کاملDefect in urinary acidification induced in vitro by amphotericin B.
An experimental defect in urinary acidification was induced in the isolated turtle bladder by amphotericin B and the nature of the defect was examined. Net hydrogen ion secretion was little affected by amphotericin when passive electrochemical forces across the epithelium were held at a minimum in the short-circuited state under isohydric conditions. Hydrogen ion secretion against a gradient, h...
