Q

Renal Clearance Equation

A

(GFR x Fu) + (CLsecretion - CLreabsorption)

23
Q

Renal dysfunction does what to GFR and protein binding?

A

Decrease GFR
Decrease Protein binding

24
Q

Opioids of choice in kidney dysfunction

A

Fentanyl
Hydromorphone

25
Q

Hemodialysis patient GFR?

A

<15 ml/min

26
Q

Loading dose is affected by?

A

Volume of distribution

**Decrease in Vd = decrease in dose
**
LD for kidney dysfunction = LD for normal kidney function
**Vd reduced in kidney dysfunction w/ Digoxin (by 50%)
**
Hydrophilic ABx - higher doses in AKI

27
Q

Maintenance dose is affected by?

A

Clearance

***Decrease in CL = extend interval (tau)

28
Q

Antimicrobial agents that do no need dose adjustment in kidney dysfunction

A

Moxifloxacin
Metronidazole
Ceftriaxone
Clindamycin
Azithromycin
Doxycycline
Linezolid

***My mother can cook a damn lasagna

29
Q

ABx Clinical Pearls

A

Dose adjustment depends on
- site of infection, illness severity, renal stability
Vd is the same or higher in CKD/AKI
**Should not be reduced
**
24 - 48 hrs of aggressive dosing

30
Q

kidney dysfunction PK changes in distribution

A
  • Increase Vd in edematous states
    • Decrease in drug concentration
  • Decrease Vd with muscle wasting/volume depletion
    • increase in drug concentraton
  • Hypoalbumin - decrease protein binding
    - increase drug free fraction
    - increase toxicity
    Altered tissue binding
31
Q

Phenytoin Xtics

A

K channel block
Antiepileptic
Narrow Therapeutic index
Numerous DDIs
Non-Linear PK (Michaelis Menten)

32
Q

Phenytoin in renal dysfunction

A

Uremia
hypoalbuminemia

***Concentration is obscured

33
Q

Phenytoin total target concentration

A

10 - 20 mcg/ml

34
Q

Phenytoin free drug target concentration

A

1 -2 mcg/ml

35
Q

When should you correct phenytoin?

A

If total trough is collected
AND
if serum albumin <3.3 mg/dl

36
Q

Corrected phenytoin in CrCl <20

A

Measured conc/[(0.2 x albumin) + 0.1]

37
