Beta Lactam
PCN
Sulfa
Phenytoin
Quinolone
Mesalamine
NSAIDs
PPI
42

Renal Cell Carcinoma

46

Which VEGF causes Thrombotic Microangiography?

A

Bevacizumab and Sunitinib

47
Q

Orliastat causes which type of nephrolithiasis?

A

Calcium Oxalate due to hyperoxaluria

Bonds intestinal calcium so more oxalate is absorbed intestinally and more peed out (enteric hyperoxaluria)

48

23 valent 
1 year  
13 valent 
5 years 
23 valent
50

Avoid oral oxalate
Calcium carbonate/calcium citrate to bind intestinal oxalate
Cholestyramine to bind oxalate as bile salts

(Pyridoxine only for rare primary hyperoxaluria)
