It has been previously reported that the nephrotoxicity of acyclovir often causes acute kidney injury (AKI) [ 2, 3 ]. Also, both acyclovir and valacyclovir
Renal function monitoring is essential for patients on Acyclovir treatment as they are at risk for AKI. Key Words: Acyclovir, Acute kidney injury, Viral

Acyclovir treatment can cause acute kidney injury because of acyclovir crystal formation in the renal tubules. Yal inkaya R. et al studied risk factors for acyclovir-induced acute kidney injury in children. The retrospective study had a total of 472 patients. Thirty-two had acute kidney injury most patients presented with no symptoms.

Acute kidney injury is a known complication of acyclovir therapy, particularly in patients receiving high-dose intravenous acyclovir. 11 12 Because valacyclovir is rapidly metabolised to acyclovir, it may have similar adverse effects. 2 While initially sparse, reports of valacyclovir-associated acute kidney injury are emerging. 2 8
As a prodrug of acyclovir, valacyclovir may also cause acute kidney injury (Ref). Like acyclovir, this may result most often from obstructive nephropathy but
