hypokalemia 2.70 mmol/L (SD 0.44), hypomagnesemia 0.47 mmol/L (SD 0.12), hypocalcemia 1.98 mmol/L (SD 0.14), hyponatremia 127 mmol/L (SD 4.84). Conclusion:In conclusion, this study shows the high incidence of AKI and electrolyte imbalances among patients treated with Polymyxin B, with the most frequent electrolyte abnormality being hypomagnesemia and hypokalemia.While the cumulative dose and duration of polymyxin, and the presence of multiple sites of infection and use of vancomycin had a statistically significant increased incidence of nephrotoxicity, none of the factors analyzed were shown to be independent risk factors for the occurrence of nephrotoxicity.I have no potential conflict of interest to disclose.I did not use generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process.
