Abstract
The use of 1H NMR as a complement to conventional clinical chemistry and histopathology resulted in the detection of hitherto unsuspected changes in urine composition as a result of imipenem induced nephrotoxicity. Large quantities of beta-hydroxybutyrate, as well as other ketone bodies were detected, indicating a disruption of energy metabolism. beta-Hydroxybutyrate may provide a useful non-invasive marker for imipenem toxicity.
