Abstract
Background: The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence and clinical characteristics of intravenous or inhaled colistin associated acute kidney injury (AKI) using the RIFLE 1

criteria. Methods: From 2010 to 2014, 160 patients were treated with intravenous or inhaled colistin. Of these, we included 126 patients who received colistin for >72 h for the treatment of
RI PT
pneumonia, and compared the incidence and clinical characteristics of patients in the intravenous (n=107) and inhaled (n=19) groups.
Results: The patients included 104 men and 22 women, with a mean age of
69 years (range,

24-91). The mortality rate was 45%, and AKI occurred in 75 (60%) patients. At the end of therapy, bacteriologic cure rate was 66%. There were no differences in the clinical

characteristics between the intravenous and inhaled groups except for age. In comparison with patients in the intravenous group, the patients in the inhaled group were older (74 ± 8 vs 68± 12 years, p=0.026). The incidence of AKI was not different between the two groups (62% vs 47%, p=NS), and there was no difference in the severity of AKI according to the
therapy, respectively.

RIFLE criteria. Of the 83 patients with AKI, 6 and 1 patients underwent renal replacement
Conclusion: The incidence of AKI in patient with colistin therapy is 60% in our center. It seems that inhaled colistin therapy could not be better in safety than intravenous colistin

Introduction
Colistin is an antibiotic that was used until the early 1980s to treat infections caused by gram-negative rods [1,2]. When gentamicin and second and third-generation 2

cephalosporins became available, however, colistin fell out of favor due to the reported high incidence of nephrotoxicity [1-3]. However, the emergence of multi-drug resistant gramnegative bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumanni resulted in

reconsideration of the use of intravenous colistin as a last resort for treatment of these infections [1,3, 4].
Inhaled colistin has been successfully used to prevent and cure pulmonary

infections in cystic fibrosis patients who are colonized with Pseudomonas aeruginosa [5]. Recently, some authors reported that colistin inhalation therapy is both tolerable and safe, and

could be beneficial as an adjunctive therapy for the management of pneumonia due to colistin-only susceptible A. baumannii or P. aeruginosa [6, 7]. However, there have been no reports that have compared the clinical characteristics of patients with AKI that were treated with intravenous versus inhaled therapy.
Therefore, we investigated the incidence and clinical characteristics of acute kidney

injury (AKI) after inhaled colistin compared with intravenous colistin using the RIFLE

From 2010 to 2014, 160 patients received intravenous or inhaled colistin. We
included patients who had received intravenous or inhaled colistin for treatment of pneumonia.
Patients were excluded if they received CMS for
