The nephrotoxicity and renal concentrations of amikacin, tobramycin and gentamycin were studied in rat, rabbit and guinea pig. The nephrotoxicity was estimated by histological examination and by measuring the relative weight of the kidneys (mg/100 mg body weight). These two systems had a significant correlation (r = 0.87; p less than 0.001). The concentrations of aminoglycosides were determined by the cylinder-plate method measuring free aminoglycosides. The renal toxicity of the aminoglycosides in equal doses weight by weight followed the order amikacin less than tobramycin less than gentamycin in the rat. The same order was observed in the renal accumulation of the aminoglycosides in rat, rabbit and guinea pig. The critical kidney damaging concentration of free aminoglycoside in the whole rat kidney was estimated to be 160--190 microgram/g.
