This presentation aims to highlight new literature evaluating nephrotoxicity associated with vancomycin and piperacillin-tazobactam combination therapy. Vancomycin and piperacillin-tazobactam is a combination that tends to be avoided due to its effect on renal function; in this presentation, we will discuss various acute kidney injury classification systems as well as the combination's effect on different markers of renal function.
