Summary

This study looks at two common antibiotic combinations given to hospitalized adults with infections: vancomycin plus piperacillin-tazobactam versus vancomycin plus cefepime. The goal is to see if one is less likely to cause kidney injury using more sensitive markers than standard tests. About 750 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two combinations, and their kidney function will be closely monitored for 5 days.
