Study Overview
Brief Summary
Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) could protect renal toxicity from colistin.
Detailed Description
Renal toxicity due to colistin therapy is common. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) has been shown to prevent colistin associated renal toxicity in animals. This study is conducted to determine if acorbic acid can prevent Colistin-Associated Nephrotoxicity.
