not all drugs are good drugs: Kidney Flashcards
Drug induced kidney disease risk factors
- 65+
- CKD
- Conmitant nephrotoxins
- Renin-dependent state
- Low effective circulating volume
- HF
- Cirrhosis
- Low effective circulating volume
- Known drug allergy
- Duration of therapy
- DM
- HTN
Drug induced kidney disease general prevention
- Directly prevent the drugs MOA of kidney injury
- Avoid the drugs in high risk pts
- Maintain adequate kidney perfusiion
- Hydration
- IV isotonic crystalloids in pts at risk of AKI
- Lacated ringers
- Plasma-lyte A
- 0.9% NaCl
- TDM if relevant
Kidney function monitorinng
- SCr, BUN, eGFR, urinary output
- Novel biomarkers: are markers of damage;
- Traditional biomarkers: SCr and BUN are markers of function
Drugs that cause hemodynamic mediated renal injury via reduction in glomerular pressure dt alterations in arteriole tone
- ACE/ARB
- NSAID
- SGLT2
- CNI (cyclosporine, tacrolimus)
ACE/ARB mechanism of kidney injury
decrease angiotensin II → efferent arteriole dilation
NSAID mechanism of kidney injury
decrease PGE2 production → afferent arteriole constriction
Calcineurin inhibitor mechanism of kidney injury
afferent arteriole constriction
hemodynamic mediated renal injury via reduction in glomerular pressure dt alterations in arteriole tone risk factors
- dehydration/low volume state + the culprit drugs → highest risk for AKI
- NSAID + ACE/ARB = loss of autoregulation → increased risk of decreased intraglomerular hydrostatic pressure → decreased GFR
hemodynamic mediated renal injury via reduction in glomerular pressure dt alterations in arteriole tone prevention methods
- Adequate fluid intake
- Risk factor management
- Start with lowest dose in pts with highest risk
- monitor SCR, BUN, K, wt Q2W until stable
- hold diuretics during intiating/titrating - Avoid NSAID + ACE/ARB combo in pts with CKD, HF, liver disease
hemodynamic mediated renal injury via reduction in glomerular pressure dt alterations in arteriole tone treatment
- DC offending agent
- Provide sufficient fluids
- typically 0.9% NaCl - Monitor kidney function and electrolytes
Drugs that cause pre-renal kidney injury via reduced blood flow in the kidney
diuretics; decreases effective circulatory volume if over-diuresis occurs
Drugs that cause glomerulonephritis
- Gold
- Allopurinol
Drugs that cause acute tubular necrosis (ATN)
- aminoglycosides
- amphotericin B (conventional has higher risk than liposomal)
- IV contrast media (iohexol, iodixanol)
IV contrast media induced kidney injury risk factors
Agent specific
- Large volume
- High osmolal contrast
- Ionic contrast
- Short interval between contrast admin
Pt specific
- DM
- Age
- GFR < 60
- low ECV
- LVEF < 40%
Aminoglycoside risk factor for kidney injury
- related to trough [ ] → TDM and PK individualization much important
- no difference in extennded and regluar interval dosing → but most places use extended
Prevention method fo IV contrast media induced kidney injury
For contrast media: 0.9% NaCl give 1-1.5 ml/kg/hr 12 hours before and after
- can also add PO NAC 1200mg PO BID x 4 doses (limited evidence on efficacy but is well tolerated)
Drug induced acute tubular nerosis treatment
- SUPPORTIVE CARE
- DC offending agent
- Hydration
- Electrolyte management
- Dialysis if severe (anuria, uremia, edema, K>7)
THIS IS ATN TREATMENT
