Comparative nephrotoxicities of dibekacin, amikacin, and gentamicin in a rat model.
The nephrotoxicity of dibekacin was compared with those of gentamicin and amikacin in a rat model. The doses used were 3, 10, and 30 times the suggested human therapeutic dose on a weight basis. Indices of glomerular and tubular function failed to clearly differentiate the drugs. Dibekacin and gentamicin produced equally severe injury to the renal tissue. Slightly less damage occurred with amikacin.
