Summary

Peritonitis is currently one of the leading complications of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Aminoglycosides and vancomycin are used in the treatment of CAPD peritonitis despite their potential risk for ototoxicity. NAC is a molecule used in the treatment and prophylaxis of many diseases related to oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to examine whether ototoxicity due to antibiotics used in the treatment of CAPD peritonitis can be prevented by N-acetylcysteine

Clinical Details

Official title: Phase 3 Study of Protective Effect of N-acetylcysteine Against From Ototoxicity

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Prevention

Primary outcome: Threshold hearing levels

Detailed description: NAC, a thiol-containing antioxidant because of this,we want to investigate antioxidant status.
