Abstract

Although the concept of nephrotoxicity has been recognized for more than 80 years, interest in nephrotoxins has intensified dramatically over the past two decades. Much of this attention has rightfully been focused on pharmaceutical agents and iatrogenic harm; however, it is important for providers to recognize that nephrotoxins can be found in naturally occurring substances as well. Although nephrotoxins exist in a myriad of forms, the means by which they induce injury can be organized into a few categories. For most of these agents, regardless of the mechanism, the final common pathway is acute kidney injury (AKI). Unfortunately, therapeutic options are limited and no treatments currently exist to reverse nephrotoxic AKI once it occurs. As a result, current strategies focus on increased awareness, nephrotoxin avoidance, early injury detection, and mitigation of disease severity. The goal of this review is to summarize our current understanding of nephrotoxic mechanisms and the epidemiology of nephrotoxic AKI. Additionally, avoidance and preventative strategies are discussed, screening approaches are suggested, and chronic monitoring recommendations are made.
