Vancomycin-associated nephrotoxicity was reported in 0-5% of patients in the 1980s. This has been confirmed by numerous clinical trials comparing novel anti-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) agents to vancomycin at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved dose of 1 g q12h. Treatment failures of vancomycin in patients with MRSA infections have been reported despite in vitro susceptibility. These failures have led to the utilization of vancomycin doses higher than those approved by the FDA. Higher doses are being administered to achieve goal vancomycin trough concentrations of 10-20 μg/mL recommended by several Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) endorsed clinical practice guidelines. Recent studies suggest that increased rates of nephrotoxicity are associated with aggressive vancomycin dosing. These increased rates are confounded by concomitant nephrotoxins, renal insufficiency, and/or changing hemodynamics. These studies have also demonstrated that vancomycin's nephrotoxicity risk is minimal in patients without risk factors for nephrotoxicity. Clinicians unwilling to dose vancomycin in accordance with clinical practice guidelines should use an alternative agent since inadequate dosing increases the likelihood of selecting heteroresistant MRSA isolates.
