Abstract
BACKGROUND Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) primarily affects the liver and potentially spreads to other organs. Managing recurrent AE poses significant challenges, especially when it involves critical structures and multiple major organs. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of a 59-year-old female with recurrent AE affecting the liver, heart, and lungs following two previous hepatectomies, the hepatic lesions persisted, adhering to major veins, and imaging revealed additional diaphragmatic, cardiac, and pulmonary involvement. The ex vivo liver resection and autotransplantation (ELRA), first in human combined with right atrium (RA) reconstruction were performed utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass, and repairs of the pericardium and diaphragm. This approach aimed to offer a potentially curative solution for lesions previously considered inoperable without requiring a donor organ or immunosuppressants. The patient encountered multiple serious complications, including atrial fibrillation, deteriorated liver function, severe pulmonary infection, respiratory failure, and acute kidney injury (AKI). These complications necessitated intensive intraoperative and postoperative care, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive management strategy in such complicated high-risk surgeries. CONCLUSIONS The multidisciplinary collaboration in this case proved effective and yielded significant therapeutic outcomes for a rare case of advanced hepatic, cardiac, and pulmonary AE. The combined approach of ELRA and RA reconstruction under extracorporeal circulation demonstrated distinct advantages of ELRA in treating complex HAE. Meanwhile, assessing diaphragm function during the perioperative period, especially in patients at high risk of developing pulmonary complications and undergoing diaphragmectomy is vital to promote optimal postoperative recovery. For multi-resistant infection, it is imperative to take all possible measures to mitigate the risk of AKI if vancomycin administration is deemed necessary.

Abstract
Vancomycin's widespread use as the mainstay antibiotic against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections is complicated by its narrow therapeutic index. Therapeutic drug monitoring using area under the concentration-time curve (AUC)-guided dosing is recommended to optimize therapy and prevent vancomycin-associated nephrotoxicity (VAN). In 2018, a consultative therapeutic drug monitoring Advisory Service (the Service) was piloted at an Australian hospital to enable AUC-guided vancomycin dosing. This study sought to compare the incidence of VAN pre- and post-Service implementation. A 4-year retrospective observational study of intravenous vancomycin therapy (greater than 48 hours) in adults (aged 18 years or older), spanning 3 years before and 1-year after implementation of the Service was undertaken. Nephrotoxicity was defined as an increase in serum creatinine concentrations of 26.5 μmol/L or greater or 50% or more from baseline, on 2 or more consecutive days. Univariate analysis was performed to compare patients before and after implementation, and with and without VAN. Independent factors associated with VAN were identified using a multivariate model. In total, 971 courses of vancomycin therapy, administered to 781 patients, were included: 764 courses (603 patients) before implementation and 207 courses (163 patients) after implementation. The incidence of VAN decreased by 5% after Service implementation (15% before implementation vs 10% after implementation; P = .075). Independent factors associated with VAN were sepsis, heart failure, solid-organ transplant, concomitant piperacillin-tazobactam, and average vancomycin AUC during therapy. In conclusion, there was a nonsignificant trend toward a reduced incidence of VAN after the Service. Larger prospective studies are needed to confirm the efficacy of the Service.

Vancomycin associated acute kidney injury in patients with infectious endocarditis: a large retrospective cohort study. Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1260802. [PMID: 38026976 PMCID: PMC10679345 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1260802] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Vancomycin remains the cornerstone antibiotic for the treatment of infective endocarditis (IE). Vancomycin has been associated with significant nephrotoxicity. However, vancomycin associated acute kidney injury (AKI) has not been evaluated in patients with IE. We conducted this large retrospective cohort study to reveal the incidence, risk factors, and prognosis of vancomycin-associated acute kidney injury (VA-AKI) in patients with IE. Methods: Adult patients diagnosed with IE and receiving vancomycin were included. The primary outcome was VA-AKI. Results: In total, 435 of the 600 patients were enrolled. Of these, 73.6% were male, and the median age was 52 years. The incidence of VA-AKI was 17.01% (74). Only 37.2% (162) of the patients received therapeutic monitoring of vancomycin, and 30 (18.5%) patients had reached the target vancomycin trough concentration. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that body mass index [odds ratio (OR) 1.088, 95% CI 1.004, 1.179], duration of vancomycin therapy (OR 1.030, 95% CI 1.003, 1.058), preexisting chronic kidney disease (OR 2.291, 95% CI 1.018, 5.516), admission to the intensive care unit (OR 2.291, 95% CI 1.289, 3.963) and concomitant radiocontrast agents (OR 2.085, 95% CI 1.093, 3.978) were independent risk factors for VA-AKI. Vancomycin variety (Lai Kexin vs. Wen Kexin, OR 0.498, 95% CI 0.281, 0.885) were determined to be an independent protective factor for VI-AKI. Receiver operator characteristic curve analysis revealed that duration of therapy longer than 10.75 days was associated with a significantly increased risk of VA-AKI (HR 1.927). Kidney function was fully or partially recovered in 73.0% (54) of patients with VA-AKI. Conclusion: The incidence of VA-AKI in patients with IE was slightly higher than in general adult patients. Concomitant contrast agents were the most alarmingly nephrotoxic in patients with IE, adding a 2-fold risk of VA-AKI. In patients with IE, a course of vancomycin therapy longer than 10.75 days was associated with a significantly increased risk of AKI. Thus, closer monitoring of kidney function and vancomycin trough concentrations was recommended in patients with concurrent contrast or courses of vancomycin longer than 10.75 days.

Abstract
AIMS The aim was to quantify the relationship between pharmacist intervention and vancomycin-associated acute kidney injury (AKI). METHODS Electronic databases were searched up to August 2020 for meta-analyses of cohort studies and/or randomized controlled trials. Studies that compared the incidence of AKI in patients between post- and prepharmacist intervention were investigated. The primary outcome was incidence of AKI. We also evaluated the influence of pharmacist intervention in risk factors of vancomycin-associated AKI. RESULTS The search strategy retrieved 1744 studies and 34 studies with 19 298 participants were included (22 published articles and 12 abstracts from conference proceedings). Compared with the preintervention group, the postintervention group patients had a significantly lower incidence of vancomycin-associated AKI: 7.3% for post- and 9.6% for preintervention (odds ratio [OR] 0.52, 95% confidence interval [CI]; 0.41, 0.67], P < .00001). The rate of attaining target concentration was significantly higher in the post- than preintervention group (OR 2.86, 95% CI [2.23, 3.67], P < .00001). The postintervention group significantly improved the percentage of serum creatinine laboratory tests than preintervention group (OR = 3.24, 95% CI 2.02, 5.19], P < .00001). Patients postintervention had markedly lower risk of mortality than preintervention patients (OR 0.47, 95% CI [0.31, 0.72], P = .0004). CONCLUSION Pharmacist intervention in vancomycin treatment significantly decreased the rate of vancomycin-associated AKI, while improving efficacy and reducing mortality. We speculate that this is because the pharmacist interventions optimized the rationality of vancomycin therapy, monitoring of vancomycin trough concentration and the monitoring of patients' renal function.

Abstract
Background Older adults (aged 65 years and above) constitute the fastest growing population cohort in the western world. There is increasing evidence that the burden of infections disproportionately affects older adults, and hence this vulnerable population is frequently exposed to antimicrobials. There is currently no systematic review summarising the evidence for organ injury risk among older adults following antimicrobial exposure. This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the relationship between antimicrobial exposure and organ injury in older adults. Methodology We searched for original research articles in PubMed, Embase.com, Web of Science core collection, Web of Science BIOSIS citation index, Scopus, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ProQuest, and PsycINFO databases, using key words in titles and abstracts, and using MeSH terms. We searched for all available articles up to 31 May 2021. After removing duplicates, articles were screened for inclusion into or exclusion from the study by two reviewers. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to assess the risk of bias for cohort and case-control studies. We explored the heterogeneity of the included studies using the Q test and I2 test and the publication bias using the funnel plot and Egger’s test. The meta-analyses were performed using the OpenMetaAnalyst software. Results The overall absolute risks of acute kidney injury among older adults prescribed aminoglycosides, glycopeptides, and macrolides were 15.1% (95% CI: 12.8–17.3), 19.1% (95% CI: 15.4–22.7), and 0.3% (95% CI: 0.3–0.3), respectively. Only 3 studies reported antimicrobial associated drug-induced liver injury. Studies reporting on the association of organ injury and antimicrobial exposure by age or duration of treatment were too few to meta-analyse. The funnel plot and Egger’s tests did not indicate evidence of publication bias. Conclusion Older adults have a significantly higher risk of sustaining acute kidney injury when compared to the general adult population. Older adults prescribed aminoglycosides have a similar risk of acute kidney injury to the general adult population.

Abstract
Nephrotoxicity is a rather frequent side effect of vancomycin treatment. Attributes of vancomycin nephrotoxicity (VN) are well documented, including its clinical manifestations and renal morphologic changes. However, VN has not been emphasized as the cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the renal transplant setting. We report the first 3 such cases. In each of these cases, AKI developed concurrently with vancomycin treatment and resolved after its cessation. As compared with the general population, VN in the renal transplant setting displayed some unusual clinical behaviors. Its development was rather capricious, being noted in some but not every episode of vancomycin treatment, even in the same individual. AKI developed gradually in conjunction with protracted vancomycin treatment, in contrast to a precipitous course in the nontransplant setting. However, renal transplant biopsies showed typical features of VN in each case. VN is an unusual but now well-documented cause of AKI in renal transplant recipients. VN in this setting may display some atypical features, setting it apart from that in the general population. However, renal transplant biopsy changes are characteristic and are amenable to a definitive diagnosis.

Abstract
Background: Vancomycin-associated acute kidney injury (VA-AKI) is a recognizable condition with known risk factors. However, the use of vancomycin in clinical practices in China is distinct from other countries. We conducted this longitudinal study to show the characteristics of VA-AKI and how to manage it in clinical practice. Patients and Methods: We included patients admitted to hospital, who received vancomycin therapy between January 1, 2016 and June 2019. VA-AKI was defined as a patient having developed AKI during vancomycin therapy or within 48 h following the withdrawal of vancomycin therapy. Results: A total of 3719 patients from 7058 possible participants were included in the study. 998 patients were excluded because of lacking of serum creatinine measurement. The incidence of VA-AKI was 14.3%. Only 32.3% (963/2990) of recommended patients performed therapeutic drug monitoring of vancomycin. Patients with VA-AKI were more likely to concomitant administration of cephalosporin (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.08–2.21, p = 0.017), carbapenems (OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.11–1.91, p = 0.006) and piperacillin-tazobactam (OR 3.12, 95% CI 1.50–6.49, p = 0.002). Full renal recovery (OR 0.208, p = 0.005) was independent protective factors for mortality. Compared with acute kidney injury stage 1, AKI stage 2 (OR 2.174, p = 0.005) and AKI stage 3 (OR 2.210, p = 0.005) were independent risk factors for fail to full renal recovery. Conclusion: Lack of a serum creatinine measurement for the diagnosis of AKI and lack of standardization of vancomycin therapeutic drug monitoring should be improved. Patient concomitant with piperacillin-tazobactam are at higher risk. Full renal recovery was associated with a significantly reduced morality.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Drug-induced acute kidney injury (D-AKI) is one of the important types of AKI. The incidence of D-AKI in China has rarely been studied. OBJECTIVE This study aims to explore the disease burden, related drugs, and risk factors of D-AKI. METHODS A nationwide cross-sectional survey was conducted in adult patients from 23 academic hospitals in 17 provinces in China. Suspected AKI was screened based on serum creatinine changes in accordance with the 2012 Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes Clinical Practice Guideline for AKI, patients who met the diagnosis of hospital-acquired AKI in January and July of 2014 were defined. Suspected AKI was firstly evaluated for the possibility of D-AKI by pharmacists using the Naranjo Scale and finally defined as D-AKI by nephrologists through reviewing AKI clinical features. RESULTS Altogether 280,255 hospitalized patients were screened and 1,960 cases were diagnosed as hospital-acquired AKI, among which 735 cases were defined as having D-AKI (37.50%, 735/1,960) with an in-hospital mortality rate of 13.88% and 54.34% of the survivors did not achieve full renal recovery. 1,642 drugs were related to AKI in these patients. Anti-infectives, diuretics, and proton pump inhibitors were the top 3 types of drugs relevant to D-AKI, accounting for 66.63% cumulatively. Besides age, AKI staging, severe disease, hypoalbuminemia, plasma substitute, and carbapenem related D-AKI were independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality of D-AKI patients. CONCLUSION In China, D-AKI has caused a substantial medical burden. Efforts should be made to pursue nephrotoxic drug stewardship to minimize attributable risk and improve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of D-AKI.

A Risk Prediction Flowchart of Vancomycin-Induced Acute Kidney Injury to Use When Starting Vancomycin Administration: A Multicenter Retrospective Study. Antibiotics (Basel) 2020; 9:antibiotics9120920. [PMID: 33352848 PMCID: PMC7766575 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics9120920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2020] [Revised: 12/09/2020] [Accepted: 12/17/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
We previously constructed a risk prediction model of vancomycin (VCM)-associated nephrotoxicity for use when performing initial therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), using decision tree analysis. However, we could not build a model to be used at the time of initial administration due to insufficient sample size. Therefore, we performed a multicenter study at four hospitals in Japan. We investigated patients who received VCM intravenously at a standard dose from the first day until the initial TDM from November 2011 to March 2019. Acute kidney injury (AKI) was defined according to the criteria established by the “Kidney disease: Improving global outcomes” group. We extracted potential risk factors that could be evaluated on the day of initial administration and constructed a flowchart using a chi-squared automatic interaction detection algorithm. Among 843 patients, 115 (13.6%) developed AKI. The flowchart comprised three splitting variables (concomitant drugs (vasopressor drugs and tazobactam/piperacillin) and body mass index ≥ 30) and four subgroups. The incidence rates of AKI ranged from 9.34 to 36.8%, and they were classified as low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups. The accuracy of flowchart was judged appropriate (86.4%). We successfully constructed a simple flowchart predicting VCM-induced AKI to be used when starting VCM administration.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and critical clinical disorder with non-negligible morbidity and mortality and remains a large public health problem. Asia, as the world's largest and most populous continent, is crucial in eliminating unsatisfactory outcomes of AKI. The diversities in climate, customs, and economic status lead to various clinical features of AKI across Asia. In this review, we focus on the epidemiologic data and clinical features of AKI in different Asian countries and clinical settings, and we show the huge medical and economic burden of AKI in Asian countries. Drugs and sepsis are the most common etiologies for AKI, however, an adequate surveillance system has not been well established. There is significant undertreatment of AKI in many regions, and medical resources for renal replacement therapy are not universally available. Although substantial improvement has been achieved, health care for AKI still needs improvement, especially in developing regions.

Shayan M, Elyasi S. Cilastatin as a protective agent against drug-induced nephrotoxicity: a literature review. Expert Opin Drug Saf 2020; 19:999-1010. [PMID: 32666842 DOI: 10.1080/14740338.2020.1796967] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cilastatin, a dehydropeptidase I inhibitor, has been used alongside imipenem, a broad spectrum antibiotic, in order to reduce its renal metabolism, consequently increasing its urinary recovery and effectiveness for many years. However, this measure could be useful in preventing imipenem-induced renal damage and decreasing the number of nephrotoxicity reports with imipenem. In this review, the authors gathered all available studies focusing on cilastatin use as a nephroprotective agent, beside well-known nephrotoxic medications like vancomycin, cisplatin, cyclosporine, or tacrolimus. AREAS COVERED PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Medline databases were searched using key words like 'cilastatin,' 'nephroprotective,' 'nephroprotection,' 'vancomycin,' 'nephrotoxicity,' 'cisplatin,' 'cyclosporine,' 'tacrolimus,' and 'prevention' with varying combinations. All relevant animal and human studies up to the date of publication were included. EXPERT OPINION It seems that cilastatin could potentially be effective against drug-induced nephrotoxicity via mechanisms such as reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, apoptosis, P-glycoprotein suppression, and morphological changes of renal cells. Nearly all the in vitro, in vivo and human studies have supported this hypothesis. Though since cilastatin protective effect has not extensively been researched in humans, its efficacy and widespread use with other nephrotoxic agents is yet to be defined in large well-designed human studies.

Clin Microbiol Infect 2020; 26:696-705. [PMID: 32222460 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmi.2020.03.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 48] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2019] [Revised: 02/28/2020] [Accepted: 03/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury is a major complication of vancomycin treatment, especially when it is co-administered with other nephrotoxins. OBJECTIVES This meta-analysis aims to comparatively assess the nephrotoxicity of antipseudomonal β-lactams when combined with vancomycin. DATA SOURCES Medline, Scopus, CENTRAL and Clinicaltrials.gov databases were systematically searched from inception through 20 August 2019. STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Studies evaluating acute kidney injury risk following the concurrent use of antipseudomonal β-lactams and vancomycin were selected. PARTICIPANTS Adult and paediatric patients treated in hospital or intensive care unit. INTERVENTIONS Administration of vancomycin combined with any antipseudomonal β-lactam. METHODS Acute kidney injury incidence was defined as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes included severity, onset, duration, need of renal replacement therapy, length of hospitalization and mortality. Quality of evidence was assessed using the ROBINS-I tool and the Confidence In Network Meta-Analysis approach. RESULTS Forty-seven cohort studies were included, with a total of 56 984 patients. In the adult population, the combination of piperacillin-tazobactam and vancomycin resulted in significantly higher nephrotoxicity rates than vancomycin monotherapy (odds ratio (OR) 2.05, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.17-3.46) and its concurrent use with meropenem (OR 1.84, 95% CI 1.02-3.10) or cefepime (OR 1.80, 95% CI 1.13-2.77). In paediatric patients, acute kidney injury was significantly higher with vancomycin plus piperacillin-tazobactam than vancomycin alone (OR 4.18, 95% CI 1.01-17.29) or vancomycin plus cefepime OR 3.71, 95% CI 1.08-11.24). No significant differences were estimated for the secondary outcomes. Credibility of outcomes was judged as moderate, mainly due to imprecision and inter-study heterogeneity. CONCLUSIONS The combination of vancomycin and piperacillin-tazobactam is associated with higher acute kidney injury rates than its parallel use with meropenem or cefepime. Current evidence is exclusively observational and is limited by inter-study heterogeneity. Randomized controlled trials are needed to verify these results and define preventive strategies to minimize nephrotoxicity risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is considered standard of care for the treatment of medically refractory Parkinson disease (PD). The placement of brain electrodes is performed using contrast imaging to enhance blood vessel identification during stereotactic planning. We present our experience with a series of patients implanted using noncontrast imaging. METHODS All cases of DBS surgery for PD performed between 2012 and 2018 with noncontrast imaging were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical features, postoperative imaging, and complications were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 287 deep-seated electrodes were implanted in 152 patients. Leads were placed at the subthalamic nucleus and globus pallidus internus in 258 and 29 hemispheres, respectively. We identified 2 cases of intracranial hemorrhage (0.7%). CONCLUSIONS DBS lead placement can be performed without the use of intravenous contrast with a postoperative intracranial hemorrhage rate comparable with other reported series.

A novel analytical method to assess the effect of imipenem/cilastatin on liver function laboratory indexes in Chinese underage inpatients: Probability distribution curve. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0224352. [PMID: 31648284 PMCID: PMC6812810 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0224352] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2018] [Accepted: 10/12/2019] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives The primary objective of this study was to establish a novel method to assess the effect of imipenem/cilastatin (IMP) on liver function laboratory indexes in Chinese underage inpatients (inpatients aged <18 year-old). Methods A retrospective study was conducted in 188 underage inpatients who received IMP in Xiangya Hospital from January 2016 to April 2018. Demographic data and clinical information of these inpatients were collected. As there was no reference interval of minors, the occurrence of abnormal liver function was estimated by that of adults, temporarily. A new concept (mean-variance induced by drug, MVID) was introduced to analyze the characteristics of total bilirubin (TBil), direct bilirubin (DBil), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Effect of MVID of TBil, DBil, ALT and AST in different patients (aged<1 year old and aged ≥ 1 year old) were compared by Mann-Whitney U test. Results Estimating by reference intervals of adults, 57.4% underage inpatients (108/188) had abnormal liver function. According to the probability distribution curve of MVID, IMP can cause the increase of AST in 24% (0.62–0.38) Chinese underage inpatients, and the increase of ALT in 20% (0.60–0.40) Chinese underage inpatients. And liver protecting drugs can decrease MVID of ALT and AST. There were not statistically significant differences in MVID of TBil, DBil, ALT and AST in different patients (aged<1 year old and aged ≥ 1 year old); P value was 0.711, 0.734, 0.067 and 0.086, respectively. Conclusion IMP can affect the liver function of 20–24% Chinese underage inpatients mainly by increasing the AST and ALT. IMP may induce hepatocellular injury, but not cholestasis. And liver protecting drugs can reverse the side effects caused by IMP. Age may not affect the effect of IMP on liver function.

Relationship Between Initial Vancomycin Trough Levels and Early-Onset Vancomycin-Associated Nephrotoxicity in Critically Ill Patients. Ther Drug Monit 2018; 40:109-114. [PMID: 29095798 DOI: 10.1097/ftd.0000000000000459] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Appropriate initial dosing of vancomycin (VCM) is important in improving survival and in preventing nephrotoxicity in critically ill patients, but the potential relationship between initial VCM trough levels and early-onset nephrotoxicity remains unclear. We examined the relationship between initial VCM trough levels and early-onset VCM-associated nephrotoxicity. METHODS We performed a retrospective study of patients who had therapeutic drug monitoring of VCM with initial trough levels within 4 days after the beginning of VCM administration. We excluded patients who received renal replacement therapy from 2 days before to 7 days after the beginning of VCM administration, were younger than 18 years, or had renal dysfunction before the beginning of VCM administration. Early-onset VCM-associated nephrotoxicity was defined as an increase in serum creatinine level of ≥0.5 mg/dL (44.2 μmol/L) or 50% above baseline for 2 or more consecutive days within 7 days after the beginning of VCM administration. RESULTS Among 109 enrolled patients, 13 patients had early-onset VCM-associated nephrotoxicity. Its incidence rate was 31.3% in patients with initial trough levels of ≥20g/mL, which was significantly higher than 6.3% in patients with initial trough levels of <10 mg/L. Multiple logistic regression analysis demonstrated that early-onset VCM-associated nephrotoxicity was associated with initial trough levels of ≥20 mg/L (odds ratio, 5.0; 95% confidence interval, 1.3-19.1) and with vasopressor use (odds ratio, 5.0; 95% confidence interval, 1.3-19.1). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the probability of nonnephrotoxicity for patients with initial VCM trough levels of ≥20 mg/L was lower compared with patients with trough levels of <15 mg/L. CONCLUSIONS Initial trough levels of ≥20 mg/L but not ≥15 mg/L were associated with early-onset VCM-associated nephrotoxicity in critically ill patients. Future prospective studies are needed to examine outcomes in critically ill patients achieving initial VCM trough levels of 15-20 mg/L.

Br J Clin Pharmacol 2018; 84:1706-1718. [PMID: 29607531 DOI: 10.1111/bcp.13594] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2017] [Revised: 03/06/2018] [Accepted: 03/17/2018] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS The objective of the present study was to investigate the current situation concerning, and risk factors for, vancomycin (VAN)-induced acute kidney injury (VI-AKI) in elderly Chinese patients, to assess outcomes and risk factors in patients who have developed VI-AKI, in order to provide suggestions for improving the prevention and treatment of this condition in these patients. METHOD We retrospectively identified elderly older inpatients who had received four or more doses of VAN treatment. We compared patients with VI-AKI with those who received VAN treatment and had not developed AKI (NO-AKI). We defined VI-AKI as developing AKI during VAN therapy or within 3 days after withdrawal of VAN. RESULTS A total of 647 out of 862 elderly inpatients were included in the study. Among those excluded, in 89.3% of cases (192/215) this was because of lack of data on serum creatinine (SCr). Among included patients, 32.5% (210/647) of patients received therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) during VAN therapy. In 66.9% of cases (424/634), there was insufficient TDM, and in 3.9% (25/634) this was appropriate. A total of 102 patients had confirmed VI-AKI, with an incidence of 15.8% (102/647). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that hyperuricaemia [odds ratio (OR) = 3.045; P = 0.000)], mechanical ventilation (OR = 1.906; P = 0.022) and concomitant vasopressor therapy (OR = 1.919; P = 0.027) were independent risk factors for VI-AKI; higher serum albumin (OR = 0.885; P = 0.000) was determined to be an independent protective factor for VI-AKI. CONCLUSIONS For the elderly Chinese patients treated with VAN, there was insufficient monitoring of SCr, too little use of VAN TDM, and lower rate of patients whose VAN though serum concentrations were not obtained at the correct time. We recommend that hospital managers increase investment in clinical pharmacists, to strengthen professional management. Patients with concomitant hyperuricaemia and on mechanical ventilation and vasopressor therapy should be paid more attention, and a higher serum albumin was determined to be an independent protective factor for VI-AKI.
