Amphotericin B can cause nephrotoxicity (kidney damage) and electrolyte imbalances. Therefore, it is important to assess the client's renal function through monitoring blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine levels. Both of these tests will help detect any kidney dysfunction caused by the medication.
