Background: Continuous infusion of conventional amphotericin B (CCAB) is used in ICUs for pre-emptive treatment of invasive fungal infections. Amphotericin B has previously been associated with nephrotoxicity.Objectives: To investigate if CCAB with therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) results in renal impairment over time in critically ill patients with abdominal sepsis.Patients and Methods: The study was conducted at mixed medical-surgical ICUs of two large teaching hospitals in the Netherlands. Consecutive patients who were treated on the ICUs between 2006 and 2019 for abdominal sepsis, with or without CCAB, were included. CCAB dosing was guided by TDM. Serum creatinine concentrations and renal failure scores of patients with CCAB treatment were compared with those without CCAB treatment. Excluded were: (i) patients treated with CCAB for less than 72 h; and (ii) patients with renal replacement therapy.Results: A total of 319 patients were included (185 treated with CCAB and 134 controls). A multiple linear regression model showed that the serum creatinine concentration was independent of CCAB treatment (β = -0.023; 95% CI = -12.2 to 7.2; P = 0.615). Propensity score matching resulted in 134 pairs of CCAB-treated and non-treated patients. Again, the analysis of these pairs showed that the cumulative CCAB dose was not associated with serum creatinine concentration during intensive care treatment (β = 0.299; 95% CI = -0.38 to 0.98; P = 0.388).Conclusions: CCAB with TDM did not result in renal impairment over time in critically ill patients with abdominal sepsis.
