Estimating glomerular filtration rate
Formula for the Cockcroft-Gault equation: Estimated creatinine clearance, or GFR =
[(140-Age) * Mass (in kg)] / [72 * Serum creatinine (in mg/dL)] x 0.85 if female
![Page 12: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Cockcroft-Gault equation Difficult because commonly used
equations (Cockcroft-Gault and MDRD) are not appropriate
Use in stable SCr Brater and Jeliffe are probably more
accurate than the Cockcroft-Gault in ARF
![Page 13: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Estimating glomerular filtration rate in ARF-cont’d
GFR Calculator for Children Schwartz Formula
GFR (mL/min/1.73 m2) = k (Height) / Serum Creatinine
k = Constant o k = 0.33 in Preemie Infants o k = 0.45 in Term infants to 1 year old o k = 0.55 in Children to 13 years o k = 0.65 in Adolescent males (Not females because of the presumed increase in male muscle mass. The constant remains .55 for females.)

Pre-renal (functional) Prerenal AKI Initially, the kidney is undamaged Characterized by hypoperfusion to the kidney Systemic hypoperfusion: Hemorrhage, volume
depletion, drugs, CHF Isolated kidney hypoperfusion: Renal artery
stenosis, emboli Urinalysis will initially be normal (no sediment)
but concentrated. Physical examination: Hypotension, volume
depletion
![Page 23: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Renal (structural)
Kidney is damaged. Damage can be linked to structure involved: Small blood vessels, glomeruli, renal tubules, and interstitium
Most common cause is ATN and others AIN, vasculitis, and acute glomerulonephritis
Urinalysis will reflect damage Urine generally not concentrated Physical examination: Normotensive,
euvolemic, or hypervolemic; check for signs of allergic reactions or embolic phenomenon
History: Identifiable insult, drug use, infections
![Page 24: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Post-renal (obstruction)
Kidney is initially undamaged Bladder outlet obstruction is the most common Lower urinary tract obstruction may be caused by
calculi Ureteric obstructions cause by clots or intraluminal
obstructions Extrarenal compression cause postrenal disease Increased intraluminal pressure upstream of the
obstruction will result in damage if obstruction is not relieved
PE: Distended bladder, enlarged prostate History: Trauma, benign prostatic hypertrophy, cancers

Prevention of AKI
Avoid nephrotoxic drugs when possible. Ensure adequate hydration. Patient education
![Page 28: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Treatment and Management of Established AKI
Prerenal azotemia: Correct primary hemodynamics Normal saline if volume depleted Pressure management if needed Blood products if needed
![Page 29: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Postrenal azotemia Relieve obstruction. Early diagnosis is
important. Consult urology and/or radiology
![Page 30: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Intrinsic: No specific therapy universally effective Eliminate the causative hemodynamic
abnormality or toxin. Avoid additional insults. Fluid and electrolyte management.
Prevent volume depletion or overload and electrolyte imbalance
![Page 31: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Medications used in AKI Fenoldopam and Atrial natriuretic peptide :
May reduce need for renal replacement therapy (RRT) and in-hospital mortality
Loop diuretics: Consider loop diuretics for patients who are
Oliguric , euvolemic or hypervolemic. Diuretic does not reduce mortality or improve
renal recovery but may assist in fluid/ electrolyte management.
Given intravenously at relatively high doses Low-dose dopamine. Ineffective. Avoid
![Page 32: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Dialysis (RRT) Renal replacement therapy—Indications BUN greater than 100 Volume overload unresponsive to
diuretics Uremia or encephalopathy Life-threatening electrolyte imbalance e.
Refractory acidosis
![Page 33: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Prevention of ARF Avoid nephrotoxic drugs. Hydration : 0.9% NACL. Pt. education *Tight glycemic control 80-110 mg/dl using
insulin
(reduce ARF by 41%) Also reduce infection, days on mechanical ventilation and ICU length of stay.

1-Acute Allergic Interstitial Nephritis
Cause for up to 3 % of all cases of ARF Results from an allergic hypersensitivity
reaction that affects the interstitium of the kidney .
Idiosyncratic reaction, so no risk factors are necessary
Various drugs can cause this type of renal failure .
![Page 68: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
1-Acute Allergic Interstitial Nephritis
Penicillins : Classic presentation of AIN Signs/ sysmptoms occur about 1-2 weeks
after initiation of therapy and include fever, maculopapular rash, eosinophilia, pyuria, hematuria and proteinuria. Eosinophiluria may to also be present .

Chronic interstitial nephritis : Often progressive and irreversible Lithium . i . Toxicity results from a dose-related
decrease in response to antidiuretic hormone
ii . ARF from lithium usually occurs during acute lithium intoxication
Patients become dehydrated secondary to nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.
There is also direct damage to the proximal and distal tubules
![Page 72: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Lithium Risks include elevated serum levels and
repeated episodes of ARF from lithium toxicity
Prevention is accomplished by maintaining lowest serum lithium levels possible, avoiding dehydration and monitoring renal function closely

RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY Indications for Renal Replacement
Therapy : A – acidosis (not responsive to bicarbonate) . E – electrolyte abnormality (hyperkalemia;
hyperphosphatemia) . I – intoxication (boric acid; ethylene glycol;
lithium; methanol; Phenobarbital; salicylate; theophylline) .
O – fluid overload (symptomatic(pulmonary edema)).
U – uremia (pericarditis and weight loss) .

RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY
Two Primary modes of dialysis . Hemodialysis – most common modality. Peritoneal Dialysis.
![Page 111: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)
RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY Hemodialysis (Intermittent for ESRD) .Access :a . Atreriovenous fistula Natural, formed by anastomosis of artery and
vein . Lowest incidence of infection and thrombosis,
lowest cost, longest survival . Takes weeks/ months to “mature”.
![Page 112: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)

RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY Hemodialysis (Intermittent for ESRD) . Arteriovenous graft : Synthetic (polytetrafluoroethylene, or PFTE) Often used in patients with vascular disease
Catheters : Commonly used if permanent access is not
available Problems include high infection and
thrombosis rates. Low blood flows lead to inadequate dialysis

RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY HemodialysisDialysis Membranes : High flux and High Efficiency : Large pores. Can remove some drugs that
were impermeable to standard membranes (vancomycin).
Large amounts of fluid removal (utrafiltrate).
![Page 116: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)

HemodialysisCommon complications of
hemodialysis :Intradialytic : Hypotension – Primarily related to fluid
removal. Common in elderly and diabetics . Treatment: Limit fluid gains between
sessions, give normal or hypertonic saline, midodrine.
Less well studied agents includes include fludrocortisones, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) .
![Page 119: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)

HemodialysisCommon complications of
hemodialysis :Intradialytic :Vascular access complications : Most
common – with catheters . Infection : Staphylococcus aureus. Need to
treat aggressively. May need pull catheter. Thrombosis: Suspected with low blood flows.
Oral antiplatelets for prevention not used due to lack of efficacy.
Can treat with alteplase I mg per lumen

RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY Factors That Affect Efficiency of
Hemodialysis: Type of dialyzer used (changes in
membrane surface area and pore size) Length of therapy Dialysis flow rate Blood flow rate Development of polarized protein layer
on the filter surface
![Page 122: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/122.jpg)
RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY Continuous Hemodialysis for Acute Renal
Failure: CAVH/CVVH. Removes fluid and solutes by
dialysis. CAVH differs from CVVH in that the “VV’ access requires an in-line pump. Used primarily when fluid removal is most important .
CVVHD/CAVDH. dialysate which flows in countercurrent to blood flow. Fluid and solute removal greater with this procedures. Used when there is a need for fluid removal and better solute clearance.
![Page 123: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY Peritoneal Dialysis : Dialysis fluid may be instilled onto peritoneum (fill), allowed
to dwell for specified amount of time, and then drained . Solutes and fluids diffuse across peritoneal membrane. PD is usually not used to treat acute renal failure in adults.Peritonitis: Infection of peritoneal cavity, diabetic and elderly patients
have a higher infection rate, a major cause of PD failure. Treatment Most common Gram +ve organisms include S.aureus,
S.epidermis, Streptococci . most common Gram –ve organisms include E.coli and P.aeruginosa.
Empiric treatment should cover both Gram +ve & -ve bacteria. Adjust as needed.
![Page 124: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/124.jpg)
RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY
Types of peritoneal dialysis: CAPD. Classic, requires mechanical
process, can be interruptive to daytime routine.
Automated PD (APD). Many variants but continuous cycling PD (CCPD) most common. Patients undergo multiple exchanged during sleep via a cycling machine. Minimize potential contamination. Lowest incidence of peritonitis.

Complications Of Chronic Kidney DiseaseAnemia In CKD , anemia is generally treated with Hgb<11 g/dl. Several factors are
responsible for; decreased erythropoietin production (most important), shorter lifespan of RBCs, blood loss during dialysis, iron deficiency, anemia of chronic disease, renal osteodystrophy.
Prevalence : a . 67% of persons beginning dialysis have had a reported hematocrit <30 % . Signs and symptoms . a . Symptoms of anemia of CKD are similar to anemia associated with causes .
Anemia work –up : i . Hb/Hct . ii . MCV (mean corpuscular volume) . iii . Reticulocyte count . iv . Iron Studies . Transferrin saturation (total iron/ total iron binding capacity) – assesses iron . Ferretin – measures stored iron . v . Stool guaiac .
![Page 126: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/126.jpg)
AnemiaTreatment :
Erythropoietin receptor agonists Goal is to achieve target Hb 11 mg/dl . Most recent KDOQI
guidelines warn against intentional increasing HgB< 13 g/dL.Epotein – a :
Binds to and activates erythropoietin receptor . May be administered SQ (subcutaneously), IV, or IP
(intraperitoneal). Initial dose 80- 120 units/kg/ week SQ divided into 2-3 doses/
week . Initial dose 120- 180 units/ kg/ week IV divided into 2-3
doses/ week . Higher doses are required for once a week dosing than for 2-
3 doses/ week/ dosing .
![Page 127: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/127.jpg)
AnemiaDarbepoetin-a Bind to and activates erythropoietin receptor
. May be administered SQ or IV . Initial dose 0.45 mcg/ kg weekly; typically 40
mcg . Dose adjustment is based on Hgb response. Adjustment parameters are the same for
epotein-a or darbepoetin-a . Dosage adjustments upward should not be
made more frequently than every 4 weeks .
![Page 128: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/128.jpg)
AnemiaMonitoring for effect : Both epoetin-a and darbepoeitn-a require
similar monitoring parameters. Monitor Hb initially every 1-2 weeks then 2-4
weeks when stable. Monitor BP as it may rise (treat as necessary)
. Iron stores . Ferretin : HD target is 200- 500, PD/CKD
target is 100- 500 . TSAT target is > 20 % (upper limit of 50%
removed from recent guidelines .
![Page 129: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/129.jpg)
AnemiaCommon causes of inadequate response to erythropoietin
therapy. Iron deficiency is the most common cause of EPO resistance.
Increased use of intravenous iron products has reduced the problem, however .
Other causes in patients with adequate stores (First three most common) :
Infection/ inflammation. Chronic blood loss. osteitis fibrosa. Aluminum toxicity . Hemoglobinopathies. Foliate or vitamin B12 Deficiency. Multiple myeloma. Malnutrition. Hemolysis. Vitamin C deficiency.
![Page 130: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/130.jpg)
Anemia Iron therapy : Most patients with CKD and receiving
erythropoietin therapy require parenteral iron therapy to meet needs (increased requirements, decreased oral absorption) .
Most adults require 1 g or more of elemental iron stores.
Iron stores usually replete several weeks . For adult dialysis patients, an empiric 100 mg dose
is usually given and equations are rarely used. Monitor transferrin saturation and Ferretin as
noted during erythropoietin therapy ) .

Renal Osteodystrophy And Secondary Hyperparathyroidism
Pathophysiology: Calcium and phosphorous homeostasis is complex; it involves the interplay of hormones affecting the bone, gastrointestinal tract, the kidneys and parathyroid hormone (PTH).
Process may begin as early as GFR 60 mL/minute. Most important force behind the process is hyperphosphatemia!
Nephron loss : decreased production of 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 and phosphate retention .
Increased Phosphorous levels : Inhibition of activation of vitamin D, reducing
absorption of calcium in the gut . Decrease levels of ionized (free calcium) . Direct stimulation of PTH secretion .
![Page 134: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/134.jpg)
Renal Osteodystrophy And Secondary Hyperparathyroidism Elevated PTH Levels : Decreased reabsorption of phosphorus and
increased reabsorptin of calcium in proximal tube – this renal adaptive mechanism is lost as GFR falls below 30 mL/minute .
Important : calcium in not well absorbed through the gut at this point, and calcium levels are maintained by increased bone reabsorption via elevated PTH .
Unabated calcium loss from the bone results in renal osteodystrophy.
![Page 135: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/135.jpg)
Renal Osteodystrophy And Secondary HyperparathyroidismPrevalence : Major cause of morbidity and mortality in
patients undergoing dialysis. Is now aggressively treated with dietary
phosphate restriction, phosphate binders, and vitamin D analogs .
Signs and symptoms : Insidious onset : patients may complain of
fatigue, musculoskeletal and gastrointestinal complaints; calcification may be visible on x-ray; bone pain and fractures can occur if progression is left untreated .

Renal Osteodystrophy And Secondary Hyperparathyroidism
Treatment : Nondrug therapy : Dietary phosphorus restriction 800- 120 mg/day. Dialysis removes various amounts of
phosphorus depending on treatment modalities .
CAPD can remove – 300 mg/day . Conventional HD can remove 500- 700 mg/day . High-flux HD can remove – 900 mg/day .
![Page 139: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/139.jpg)
Renal Osteodystrophy And Secondary Hyperparathyroidism
Drug therapy : 1- Phosphate binders : take with meals to bind
phosphorus in the gut; products from different groups are used together for additive effect .
a- Calcium – containing phosphate binders (calcium carbonate, calcium acetate) .
Considered initial binder of choice; relatively inexpensive. Also treat hypocalcaemia, which sometimes occurs in
patients with CKD . Calcium carbonate can also decrease metabolic acidosis . Use may be limited by development of hypocalcaemia . Total elemental calcium per day = 2000 mg/day( 1500-
mg binder; 500 – mg diet) .
![Page 140: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/140.jpg)
Renal Osteodystrophy And Secondary Hyperparathyroidism
b- Aluminum- containing phosphate binders (aluminum hydroxide, aluminum carbonate, sucralfate) .
Effectively lower phosphorus levels . Avoid. Not used as frequently due to aluminum toxicity
(adynamic bone disease, encephalopathy, and erythropoietin resistance) .
Deferoxamine chelation therapy may be required for aluminum toxicity .
c-Sevelamer : a nonabsorbable phosphate binder : Effectively binds phosphorus . Consider if calcium – phosphorus factor > 55 mg2/ dL2. Decreases LDL cholesterol and increases HDL cholesterol . Hypocalcaemia may occur if sevelamer is sole phosphate
binder.
![Page 141: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/141.jpg)
Renal Osteodystrophy And Secondary Hyperparathyroidism d- Lanthanum carbonate : As effective as aluminum in phosphate
binding capability. Tasteless, chewable wafer . Consider if calcium x phosphorus product
>55 mg2/ dL2.

Renal Osteodystrophy And Secondary Hyperparathyroidism
2-Vitamin D analogs: suppress PTH synthesis and reduce PTH concentrations ; therapy is limited by resultant hypocalcaemia, hyperphosphatemia and elevated calcium- phosphorus product; pulse therapy is preferred over daily therapy .
products include: calcitriol , Paricalcitol , Doxercalciferol
a-Calcitriol is the pharmacologically active from of 1,2 hydroxyvitamin D3, FDA label- approved for the management of hypocalcemia, and the prevention and treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism .
Oral and parenteral formulations . Does not require hepatic or renal activation . Low-dose daily oral therapy reduces hypocalcemia, but
does not reduce PTH levels significantly .
![Page 143: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/143.jpg)
Renal Osteodystrophy And Secondary Hyperparathyroidism
b- Paricalcitol : vitamin D analog; FDA label-approved for the treatment and prevention of secondary hyperparathyroidism .
Parenteral and oral formulation . Does not require hepatic or renal activation . Less incidence of hypocalcaemia (decreased mobilization of
calcium from the bone and decreased absorption as frequent as every 2 weeks .
Dose adjustment as frequent as every 2 weeks . c-Doxercalciferol: vitamin D analog; FDA label-approved for the
treatment and prevention of secondary hyperparathyroidism . Parenteral and oral formulation . Pro-drug, requires hepatic activation; may have more physiologic
levels . Less incidence of hypocalcaemia (decreased mobilization of
calcium from bone and decreased absorption of calcium from gut. Dose adjustments at 4-8 week intervals .

Renal Osteodystrophy And Secondary Hyperparathyroidism
3- Cinacalcet HCL : attaches to calcium receptor on parathyroid gland, resulting in negative feedback suppression of PTH secretion .
Initial dose is 30 mg irrespective of patient PTH level . Monitor serum calcium every 1-2 weeks (risk of hypocalcaemia
≈ 5%); do not start therapy if serum Ca < 8.4 mg/dL . Can be used in patients irrespective of phosphate binder
(important) or vitamin D analog use . Caution in patients with seizure disorder (hypocalcaemia may
exacerbate). Adverse effects are nausea (30 %) and diarrhea (20 %) . CYP 2D6 metabolism: dose reductions in drugs with narrow
therapeutic indexes may be required (flecainide, tricyclic antidepressants, thioridazine) .
Ketoconazole increases cinacalcet concentrations up to 2-fold.

DOSAGE ADJUSTMENTA IN RENAL INSUFFICIENCY :
Dosages of many drugs will require adjustment to prevent toxicity in patients with CKD; adjustment strategies will vary depending on whether patient is receiving renal replacement therapy or not, and the type of renal replacement therapy
Pharmacokinetic Principles Can Guide Therapy Adjustments :
Absorption : a . Oral absorption can be decreased . Nausea and vomiting . Increased gastric PH (uremia) . Edema . Physical binding of drugs to phosphate binders .
![Page 147: NEPHROLOGY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681649c550346895dd67eb8/html5/thumbnails/147.jpg)
DOSAGE ADJUSTMENTA IN RENAL INSUFFICIENCY :
Distribution : Changes in concentrations of highly protein bound and highly
water soluble drugs change as extracellular fluid status changes. Acidic and neutral protein bound drugs are displaced by toxin
build-up. Other mechanisms include conformational changes of plasma protein site .
Phenytoin is a classic example . Hypoalbuminemia correction . Conc. adjusted= Conc. measured / {(0.2 x measured albumin)+
0.1)} Renal failure adjustment . Conc .adjusted = Conc. measured / (0.1 x measured albumin)+
0.1). Patients will have lower total concentrations despite having
adequate free concentrations . Dosage adjustment of phenytoin not needed, just a different
approach to evaluating to evaluating level

Antibiotics Almost all antibiotics will require dosage dosage adjustment (exceptions: cloxacillin, clindamycin, linezolid, metronidazole, macrolides )
Cardiac medications Atenolol,ACEIs, digoxin, nadolol, sotalol; avoid potassium- sparing diuretics if CrCl < 30 ml / min
Lipid-lowering therapy Clofibrate, fenofibrate, statins
Narcotics Codeine, avoid meperidine; other drugs may also accumulate .
Antipsychotic/ antiepileptic agents Chloral hydrate, gabapentin, lithium,paroxetine,primidone,topiramate,trazodone,vigabatrin
Hypoglycemic agents Acarbose, chloropropamide, glyburide, glipizide insulins, metformin.
Antiretrovirals Individualize therapy: monitor CD4 counts, viral load and adverse effects (agents requiring dose adjustment: lamivudine, adefovir, didanosine, stavudine, tenofovir, zalcitabine, zidovudine).
Miscellaneous Allopurinol, colchicines, H2-receptor antagonists, ketorlac, terbutaline

DOSAGE ADJUSTMENTA IN RENAL INSUFFICIENCY :
Calculate drug individualized for patient . Published data . Rowland – Tozer estimate . Q = 1 ( fe (1- KF) ) . Q = kinetic parameter or drug adjustment factor . Fe = fraction of drug renally excreted unchanged . Kf= ratio of patients CrCl to normal (120 mL/minutes) . Monitor patient (e.g., renal function; clinical parameters) and
drug concentration (if applicable) . Revise regimen as appropriate . Drug Dosing in Hemodialysis : Dosing changes in hemodialysis patients may be necessary
of accumulation due o kidney failure and/or because the procedure may remove drug from the circulation .

DOSAGE ADJUSTMENTA IN RENAL INSUFFICIENCY :
Drug-related factors affecting drug removal during dialysis :
Molecular weight- with high flux membranes larger molecules (like vancomycin) can be removed .
Water soluble – non soluble drugs not likely removed .
Protein binding – Because albumin cannot pass through membrane, neither can protein-bound drugs.
Volume of distribution – Drugs with small volume of distribution (Vd) (<1L/Kg) are available in central circulation for removal. Large Vd's can't be removed (digoxins, tricyclic antidepressants) .

DOSAGE ADJUSTMENTA IN RENAL INSUFFICIENCY :
Procedure-related factors affecting drug removal :
Type of dialyzer- High flux widely used now .
Blood flow rate; increased rate will increase deliver and maintain gradient across membrane .
Duration of dialysis session . Dilaysate flow rate; high rate of flow will
increase removal by maintaining gradient across membrane .
