This chapter discusses commonly used drugs that frequently are associated with nephrotoxic acute kidney injury (AKI). These drugs include aminoglycosides; old and new formulations of amphotericin B; a number of drug-related crystal-induced AKI, including acute phosphate nephropathy; and methotrexate nephropathy. This chapter also includes a discussion of tumour lysis syndrome and some reflections on the prevention of AKI in tropical countries.
