Gentamicin-associated changes in renal function reversible during continued treatment.
Serum levels of gentamicin and serum creatinine were studied retrospectively in six patients receiving gentamicin for 39-48 days. Serum creatinine increased and gentamicin accumulation occurred initially in all patients but after three to four weeks the renal function improved despite continuing gentamicin administration.
