The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with compromised renal function
(CrCl < 50mL/min) receiving intravenous voriconazole experienced any adverse effects related
to serum chemistries or other imaging studies of the kidney due to the potential accumulation
of the vehicle cyclodextran.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with compromised renal function
(CrCl < 50mL/min) receiving intravenous voriconazole experienced any adverse effects related
to serum chemistries or other imaging studies of the kidney due to the potential accumulation
of the vehicle cyclodextran. t has been previously shown by a large multi-centered,
prospective, randomized study that voriconazole is superior to the then gold standard
amphotericin B in the treatment of patients with invasive aspergillosis - a disease with
significant morbidity and mortality. In patients with these infections who have severe renal
insufficiency may be denied the best therapy due to the accumulation of a diluent with
unknown clinical consequences. Qualifying and or quantifying these consequences are important
to these patients so that potentially life-threatening therapy should not be unduly denied.
