Vancomycin-Associated Acute Kidney Injury with a Steep Rise in Serum Creatinine.

Background: Vancomycin-associated (VA) acute kidney injury (AKI) is being increasingly recognized. A distinct pattern of rapid rise in serum creatinine (sCr) during VA-AKI has occasionally been observed. However, such scenarios remain underreported.

Independent correlates of chronic kidney disease awareness among adults with type 2 diabetes.
