Situation: A patient on gentamicin developed polyuria on 7th day. He
developed renal failure on 9th day.
Reaction: Oh my God! Why was gentamicin toxicity not suspected when the urine output increased?
Lesson: Make sure that all patients on gentamicin are observed for renal toxicity. The first indication is increased urinary output.
