Drugs With Toxic Renal Effects Flashcards
Kidney specific risk factor
Healthy cells could be targets of chemotherapeutic agents
Receives significant amount of Cardiac output exposing it to drugs
CYP450 in kidney leading to toxic metabolites
Kidney environment (methotrexate toxicity based on crystallization in renal tubules )
Patient specific risk factors
Old age
Female
Neonates
Yes
Because reduced mass muscle and low total body water (increased drug concentration)
Disease state (acute or chronic kidney disease, hepatic failure, hyperbilirubenemia )
Nephrotoxic drugs
Antibacterial
NSAIDS
ACE inhibitors
Antivirals
Antifungals
Chemotherapeutic agents
Antibacterial with nephrotoxic effects
Aminoglycosides
Sulfamethoxazole trimethoprim sulfa based
Vancomycin
Ciprofloxacin
Incidence of nephrotoxic tu at therapeutic dose of amino glycoside
10-25%
Most toxic aminoglycoside
Neomycin
And then gentamicin, tobramycin, ami la fin..
Aminoglycoside MOA for toxicity
Enter adrenal cortex and proximal tubular cels
Bind lysosomes
Form myéloïde lysosomes
And then unclear
How to prevent aminoglycoside toxicity
Drug dose calculated based on creatinine clearance
Sulfamethoxazole action toxic
Inhibits proximal tubular secretion of creatinine
Crystal nephropathy sometimes
Vancomycin toxicity MOA
Acute tubular necrosis
Acute intertistial nephritis
Ciorofloxacin toxicity
Acute interstitial nephritis
Crystalluria (in alkaline urine)
Why do NSAID cause nephrotoxicity
PG inhibition -> impaired renal vasodilation -> impaired renal hemodynamics
NSAID nephrotoxic symptoms
Acute kidney injury
Hyperkalemia Metabolic acidosis (renin impaired )
ACE and ARB MOA in toxicit
Antagonize angiotensin II -> interfere renal autoregulatio of GFR-> can cause acute kidney injury
Antiviral agents with nephrotoxic effect
Acyclovir
Foscanet
Antiretroviral drugs
Acyclovir nephrotoxic effect
High dose IV can cause acute kidney injury and crystal precipitation
How to prevent acyclovir nephrotoxicity
Low dose and slow rate infusion
Foscanet nephrotoxic effect
Acute kidney injury
Electrolyte abnormalities
Hypocalcemia
Most nephrotoxic antiretroviral
Tenofovir
Tenofovir toxic effect
Acute kidney injury
Type of antiretroviral with toxic effect
Tenofovir Protease inhibitor (indinavir)
Antifungal agents with nephrotoxic effects
Amphoterecin B
Who has better renal safety
liposomal AmB
Or conventional AmB
LiposomalAmB
AmB MOA in toxicity
Alter membrane permeability of normal renal tubular cells
