Abstract:
:Meglumine antimoniate was administered to a patient with visceral leishmaniasis with normal renal function. Soon after the first intramuscular administration of meglumine antimoniate 20 mg/kg, equivalent to 510 mg antimony (Sb), the patient developed septic shock with oliguria. Creatinine clearance decreased to 23 ml/minute. Treatment was discontinued, and Sb urinary excretion was measured. After the initial dose, 500.25 mg Sb was recovered in urine over 8 days, corresponding to 98% of the amount of Sb given intramuscularly (66% eliminated within first 48 hrs). Nine days after the dose, meglumine antimoniate was reintroduced at a dosage of 11.7 mg/kg (equivalent to 300 mg Sb) every 48 hours with good tolerance. At that time creatinine clearance had returned to 87.8 ml/minute. By day 14 of therapy the interval was reduced to daily administration of the same dose; the dosage was increased to 16.6 mg/kg/day (equivalent to 425 mg Sb) from day 17 to day 31. The patient eventually completely recovered and was discharged with normal renal function. Although no specific guidelines exist for dosage adjustment in renal failure, monitoring of Sb urinary excretion indicates that the kidneys are the almost exclusive route of elimination.
