Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Infectious complications in individuals with CKD constitute a significant source of morbidity and mortality. UTI, is the commonest precipitant of acute exacerbation of CKD and its progression9. Consequent upon the vital role of kidneys in the elimination of xenobiotics, treatment of UTI requires selection of appropriate antibiotics in order to prevent further kidney injury.
The Enterobacteriaceae, particularly E coli, are the most common pathogen in community-acquired infections. Acceptable regimens include fluoroquinolones, cephalosporins, penicillins, extended-spectrum penicillins, carbapenems, and aminoglycosides. Thus, there is need to compare the efficacy and safety of ciprofloxacin to the standard of care, levofloxacin as ciprofloxacin is relatively cheaper hence conferring some economic and perhaps, adherence advantage among the resource-challenged CKD patients.
General Objective
The broad objective is to compare the safety and efficacy of ciprofloxacin with that of levofloxacin in patients with CKD and UTI with a view of establishing non-inferiority of ciprofloxacin.
