No change in regimen in kidney dysfunction patient if a drug…
- has a large therapeutic index
- fraction excreted unchanged in urine is ≤ 30%
- metabolites are inactive (or no metabolites)
Changes in Pharmacokinetics: Absorption
largely unchanged
Changes in Pharmacokinetics: Distribution
can be increased, decreased, or unchanged depending on drug
Changes in Pharmacokinetics: Metabolism
decrease phase I enzyme capacity
no change in phase II
-phase II metabolites eliminated by kidney
Changes in Pharmacokinetics: Elimination
decrease renal elimination
Changes in Pharmacodynamics in renal dysfunction
Increase BBB Permeability
- increase CNS effects
Decrease platelet aggregation
- increase bleed risk
Non - Renal Clearance Effects
- Uremic toxins inhibit CYP enzymes and drug transporters in gut and liver (accumulation)
- increased bioavailability
- increased systemic exposure
changes in hepatic metabolism
decrease metabolism to inactive metabolites
- increase active drug
increase bioavailability
decrease in phase I
no change in phase II
How do you deal with drugs regarding metabolite accumulation?
AVOID drugs with toxic metabolites
USE CAUTION with drugs with pharmacologically active metabolites
MONITOR drugs with inactive metabolites
Opioids changes in PK
Opioids - Phase II
- conjugated metabolites kidney eliminated
- morphine and meperidine (neurotoxic)
**Dose relates to peak conc - max pain relief
**interval - duration of pain relief
Opioid changes in PD
renal dysfunction increases therapeutic and toxic effects
increased opioid receptor sensitivity
increased BBB permeable - increase CNS effects
Good opioids in kidney dysfunction
Fentanyl
Methadone
Okay opioids in kidney dysfunction
Hydromorphone
Oxycodone
Hydrocodone
Bad opioids in kidney dysfunction
Morphine
Codeine
Meperidine
***neurotoxic
