5-10% of drug toxicities involve kidney injury Drug induced kidney disease is common in hospitals

Kidney at risk because: High exposure to toxins, high energy requirement

Intra-renal metabolism, autoregulation, etc.

Mechanisms of drug induced AKI:* Alterations in renal perfusion or filtration capacity

Direct Damage: vascular, tubular, glomerular, interstitial cells

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)

Abrupt increase in SCr SCr rises/peaks in 2-5 days

Marked reduction in UOP 50% patients develop oliguria (UOP < 400mL/24h)

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

Amphotericin B Induced ATN

Recommendations / Prevention Liposomal formulations are less nephrotoxic

Avoid concomitant nephrotoxins

Consider alternative antifungal agents, if possible

Monitor kidney function / electrolytes (K+, Mg++)

Scheduled & sliding scale potassium & magnesium orders

Stop offending agent if evidence of kidney injury

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.
