Official Title: Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of N-Acetylcysteine Versus Alpha-Lipoic Acid on the Occurrence and Severity of Colistin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Critically Ill Patients
Brief Summary:
Healthcare- associated infections that caused by multi-drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR G-ve) represent the most important problem that face the critically ill patients in the ICU.The available broad-spectrum antibiotics as penicillin, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, and ?-lactams fail to overcome these aggressive organisms.Accordingly, this led to the reconsideration of old drugs such as polymyxin B and polymyxin E (also known as colistin) that were previously considered to be too toxic for clinical…
