Speaker: Brett Heintz, PharmD, BCPS-ID, AAHIVE, received his doctorate in pharmacy from the University of California, San Francisco and completed his residencies in pharmacy practice and infectious diseases at the University of California, Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, CA. He also is a board certifi ed pharmacotherapy specialist with added qualifi cations in infectious diseases and American Academy of HIV expert certifi ed.
Dr. Heintz, a Pharmacy Specialist in Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases, joined the Iowa City VA Health Care System in September 2012. He also holds an academic position as Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Iowa College of Pharmacy and precepts pharmacy students, delivers didactic lectures and coordinates a pharmacotherapy course. Prior to joining the Iowa City VA and the University of Iowa he served as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Pharmacy at UC San Francisco School of Pharmacy with a clinical practice in Infectious Diseases and Internal Medicine at UC Davis Medical Center.
Dr. Heintz’s primary research and clinical interests include antimicrobial dosing in special populations, including renal failure, dialysis, hepatic failure and obesity; determination of predictors of resistance, treatment failure and toxicity of antistaphylococcal and antipseudomonal agents; and management of outpatient delivery of antimicrobial therapy.
Dr. Heintz has authored several articles and book chapters related to antimicrobial therapy and has presented his many of his research projects at local, state, national, and international level meetings. He is also the recipient of several teaching awards.

Etiology
Pre-renal ischemia
Intrinsic renal diseaseAcute Interstitial Nephritis
Acute Tubular Necrosis
Post-renal obstruction
9
Pre-Renal Ischemia
The healthy kidney receives 25% of cardiac output Oxygen extracted for secretion and reabsorptive functions
Kidney susceptible to reduced blood flow (ischemia) Vasoconstriction of afferent arterioles: ↓ intraglomerular pressure
Vasodilation of efferent arterioles: ↓ renal perfusion
Occurs more often in patients who can’t compensate for alterations in afferent/efferent blood flow Elderly & volume depleted
Heart failure (cardiorenal)
Liver failure (hepatorenal)

* Contrast nephropathy presents as pre-renal, then progresses to an intra-renal like presentation
Contrast Induced Nephrotoxicity30
Contrast media utilized to optimize visualization of blood flow Varying osmolality in
relation to plasma Iohexal
higher osmolar agent
Iodixanol
lower osmolar agent
Lower osmolar agents & dose reduce risk for AKI
Effects on kidneys Reactive oxygen species &
high osmotic load Direct tubular toxicity
Systemic hypotension, volume depletion, vasoconstriction (↓ nitric oxide)
↓ kidney blood flow
Blocks autoregulation of medullary blood flow
Walsh SR, et al. Contrast-Induced Nephropathy. Journal of Endovascular Therapy: 2007;14(1): 92-100.
16
Pre-renal picture with superimposed intra-renal injury Transient osmotic diuresis, then direct tubular toxicity (ATN)
Abrupt increase in SCr SCr rises/peaks in 2-5 days
Marked reduction in UOP 50% patients develop oliguria (UOP < 400mL/24h)
Urinalysis findings (see Tables) Early: consistent with pre-renal injury
Late: consistent with intra-renal injury
31
Contrast Induced Nephrotoxicity: Presentation
Walsh SR, et al. Contrast-Induced Nephropathy. Journal of Endovascular Therapy: 2007;14(1): 92-100.
Contrast Induced Nephrotoxicity: Prognosis & Treatment
Prognosis Due to abrupt nature of damage & susceptibility of cells
to ischemic death, the damage is often irreversible
Higher mortality than inflammatory damage or direct toxin damage: multiple mechanisms
Treatment Withdraw offending agent (may be temporary)
Fluid replacement if volume depleted

Aminoglycoside Induced ATN
Pathophysiology (several hypotheses) Intracellular accumulation within lysosomes interferes
with cellular functions and leads to cell death
AGs stimulate calcium-sensing receptor on apical membrane which causes cell signaling / cell death

35
Aminoglycoside Induced ATN
Recommendations / Prevention Consider extended interval dosing (q24h), if appropriate
Increase efficacy Concentration dependent kill, Post antibiotic effect
Decreased toxicity Minimizes exposure of nephrons (t ½ = 2h) as uptake is saturable
Diligent monitoring (SCr, urine output, electrolytes, levels)
Use appropriate dose for shortest duration possible
Explore alternative antimicrobials, if possible

Systematic Review:Drug Induced Kidney Injury
Choudhury D, Ziauddin A. Drug-associated renal dysfunction and injury. Nature Clinical Practice: Nephrology 2006;2(2):80-82.
Conclusions
Kidney injury has many implications in regards to drugs Many drugs can result in kidney injury
Altered kidney function can affect excretion of many drugs
Drug-induced kidney injury can be (sub)acute or chronic, and of prerenal, intrarenal,* or postrenal mechanisms
Renal injury caused by drugs can be minimized if detected early & preventative measures are utilized Minimize dehydration and hypotension
Appropriate monitoring & dose adjustments needed

Case 156
CC/HPI
CC: Dizziness
HPI: GL is a 84 y/o & 62kg female with AMS who was brought to the ED by her daughter from her skilled nursing facility. She was discharged from the hospital 1 week ago following treatment for a CHF exacerbation. The patient is unable to provide a history at this time. According to the daughter, GL initially felt less fatigued and short of breath, which she attributes to the increased dose of her “water pill” that GL has continued to take since her hospital discharge. Her daughter, has noticed that GL has become progressively more confused and lethargic over the last few days. Today, the patient became very dizzy and lightheaded when trying to stand up and her daughter decided to bring her to the ED. GL also complains of tachypnea, fever & pleuritic chest pain, and in the ED the patient was found to have evidence of pneumonia.

5. JR is a 82 year old female with hypertension currently receiving lisinopril. JR’s PCP instructs JR to take ibuprofen to help manage some joint pain. True of False. The addition of an NSAID to a patient receiving an ACE-I may increase the risk for pre-renal ischemia and associated nephrotoxicity.
6. True or False. Use of acetylcysteine or sodium bicarbonate is the primary method to reduce the risk for post-renal (obstructive) nephropathy.
