RESUMO
Coadministration of sodium ticarcillin with an aminoglycoside is known to reduce the nephrotoxicity of the aminoglycoside. However, it is not known whether the penicillin or the obligatory sodium load confers protection. To investigate this, gentamicin has been administered intraperitoneally in doses of 50, 60, or 80 mg/kg per day for 12 days in groups of rats receiving either a normal or a low sodium intake. Alterations in creatinine clearance have been measured. Salt depletion resulted in an enhanced nephrotoxic response with a shift in the dose-response curve to the left. Administration of sodium ticarcillin to rats with a salt-depleted intake at a dose sufficient to replace sodium intake conferred an equal degree of protection to rats with a normal salt intake. We report that the obligatory salt supplement with ticarcillin is sufficient to account for the renal sparing effect of the combination treatment without having to infer a direct chemical interaction of penicillin with the aminoglycoside.
