Your gentamicin trough level is below 2 µg/mL, which is the target to minimize the risk of nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity (hearing loss/balance problems). Trough levels are the best predictor of toxicity risk.
A very low trough level means the drug has been largely eliminated before the next dose, which is the goal of intermittent dosing. This reduces the risk of toxicity.
No action needed. Continue current dosing.
Gentamicin trough: {{value}} {{unit}} — very low (expected)A low trough level indicates adequate clearance between doses, minimizing the risk of toxicity while maintaining therapeutic peak levels.
Continue current dosing regimen.
Gentamicin trough: {{value}} {{unit}} — low (expected)Your gentamicin trough level is below 2 µg/mL, which is the target to minimize the risk of nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity (hearing loss/balance problems). Trough levels are the best predictor of toxicity risk.
Continue current dosing. Monitor kidney function and trough levels periodically.
Gentamicin trough: {{value}} {{unit}} — within target range (<{{high}} {{unit}})Your gentamicin trough level is very low, indicating excellent drug clearance and very low toxicity risk.
Continue current regimen.
Gentamicin trough: {{value}} {{unit}} — optimalYour gentamicin trough is above 2 µg/mL, which increases the risk of nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. This may indicate reduced kidney clearance of the drug.
Discuss with your doctor. The dosing interval may need to be extended or the dose reduced. Monitor serum creatinine closely.
Gentamicin trough: {{value}} {{unit}} — borderline highYour gentamicin trough is elevated, placing you at increased risk of nephrotoxicity (acute kidney injury) and ototoxicity (hearing loss, vestibular toxicity). Trough levels correlate well with toxicity risk.
Contact your doctor. Hold the next dose pending dose adjustment. Extend the dosing interval or reduce the dose. Monitor kidney function and consider audiometry if prolonged therapy.
Gentamicin trough: {{value}} {{unit}} — elevated (target: <{{high}} {{unit}})A critically high gentamicin trough indicates noticeable drug accumulation due to impaired clearance. There is a high risk of noticeable, potentially irreversible nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity (including permanent hearing loss and balance impairment).
This is a medical emergency. Hold gentamicin immediately. Contact the medical team urgently. Assess kidney function and consider alternative antibiotics. Audiometry may be indicated to document baseline hearing.
