[PMID: 38382232 DOI: 10.1016/j.archger.2024.105332] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 01/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Older adults are at an increased risk of acute kidney injury (AKI), particularly in community settings, often due to medications. Effective prevention hinges on identifying high-risk patients, yet existing models for predicting AKI risk in older outpatients are scarce, particularly those incorporating medication variables. We aimed to develop an AKI risk prediction model that included medication-related variables for older outpatients. METHODS We constructed a cohort of 2,272,257 outpatients aged ≥65 years using a national claims database. This cohort was split into a development (70%) and validation (30%) groups. Our primary goal was to identify newly diagnosed AKI within one month of cohort entry in an outpatient context. We screened 170 variables and developed a risk prediction model using logistic regression. RESULTS The final model integrated 12 variables: 2 demographic, 4 comorbid, and 6 medication-related. It showed good performance with acceptable calibration. In the validation cohort, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve value was 0.720 (95% confidence interval, 0.692-0.748). Sensitivity and specificity were 69.9% and 61.9%, respectively. Notably, the model identified high-risk patients as having a 27-fold increased AKI risk compared with low-risk individuals. CONCLUSION We have developed a new AKI risk prediction model for older outpatients, incorporating critical medication-related variables with good discrimination. This tool may be useful in identifying and targeting patients who may require interventions to prevent AKI in an outpatient setting.

[PMID: 37176787 PMCID: PMC10179015 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12093347] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/03/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study is to assess the use of high-risk medications in patients with community-acquired acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) and the differences in the characteristics and outcomes of CA-AKI based on the use of these medications. This is a retrospective audit of adults (≥35 years) with CA-AKI admitted to a large tertiary care hospital over a two-year period. We investigated the prevalence of SADMANS (sulfonylureas; angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors; diuretics; metformin; angiotensin receptor blockers; nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; and sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors) medications use in people with CA-AKI prior to hospitalisation. Outcomes including CA-AKI severity, kidney function recovery and in-hospital mortality were examined and stratified by use of SADMANS medications. The study included 329 patients, with a mean (SD) age of 75 (12) years and a 52% proportion of females, who were hospitalised with CA-AKI. Most patients (77.5%) were taking at least one regular SADMANS medication upon admission. Overall, 40% of patients (n = 132) and 41% of those on SADMANS (n = 104) had hypovolaemia or associated symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhoea during admission. Over two-thirds (68.1%) had mild AKI on admission and patients who were taking SADMANS medications were more likely to have mild AKI. Patients on SADMANS had more comorbidities and a higher medication burden, but there were no differences in AKI severity on admission or outcomes such as length of hospitalisation, ICU admission, need for dialysis, recovery rates and mortality between the two groups. However, the high prevalence of SADMANS medications use among patients with CA-AKI indicates a potential for preventability of CA-AKI-led hospitalisations. Future studies are needed to gain better insights into the role of withholding this group of medications, especially during an acute illness.

Abstract
Drug-induced acute kidney injury (DI-AKI) is one of the leading causes of kidney injury, is associated with high mortality and morbidity, and limits the clinical use of certain therapeutic or diagnostic agents, such as antineoplastic drugs, antibiotics, immunosuppressants, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and contrast media. In recent years, numerous studies have shown that many Chinese meteria medica, metabolites derived from botanical drugs, and Chinese medicinal formulas confer protective effects against DI-AKI by targeting a variety of cellular or molecular mechanisms, such as oxidative stress, inflammatory, cell necrosis, apoptosis, and autophagy. This review summarizes the research status of common DI-AKI with Chinese meteria medica interventions, including cisplatin, gentamicin, contrast agents, methotrexate, and acetaminophen. At the same time, this review introduces the metabolites with application prospects represented by ginseng saponins, tetramethylpyrazine, panax notoginseng saponins, and curcumin. Overall, this review provides a reference for the development of promising nephroprotectants.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is increasingly common in people over 65 years of age, but its causes and management are poorly described. The purpose of this study was to describe the causes, management and prognosis of patients over 65 hospitalised for severe acute kidney injury (AKI) in all departments of a tertiary centre. METHOD The prospective IRACIBLE (IRA: AKI in French; CIBLE: target in French) cohort included 480 patients hospitalised at a university hospital over 18 months for severe AKI or subgroup of AKIN3 (Acute Kidney Injury Network classification) defined by an acute creatinine increase > 354 μmol/L or managed with acute renal replacement therapy (RRT). The history, aetiology of AKI, management, and prognosis were compared in three age groups: < 65, 65-75, and > 75 years. RESULTS The study population included 480 subjects (73% men) with a median body mass index (BMI) of 26.6 kg/m2 [23.3, 30.9], 176 (37%) diabetic patients, 124 (26%) patients < 65 years, 150 (31%) 65-75 years and 206 (43%) > 75 years. Increasing age class was associated with more comorbidities, a significantly lower median estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 6 months before inclusion (82; 62; 46 ml/min/1.73 m2, p < 0.05) and aetiology of AKI, which was more often obstructive (12%; 15%; 23%, p = 0.03) or part of a cardio-renal syndrome (6%; 9%; /15%, p = 0.04). Older patients were less often managed in the intensive care unit (54%; 47%; 24%, p < 0.0001), were less frequently treated by RRT (52%; 43%; 31%, p < 0.001) and received fewer invasive treatments (6%; 9%; 22%, p < 0.0001). Older survivors returned home less often (80%; 73%; 62%, p = 0.05) in favour of transfers to rehabilitation services (10%; 13%; 22%) with higher mortality at 3 months (35%; 32%; 50%, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Older patients hospitalised for severe AKI have a specific profile with more comorbidities, lower baseline renal function, an aetiology of AKI of mainly extra-parenchymal causes and a complex pathway of care with an overall poor prognosis.

Medicine-Induced Acute Kidney Injury Findings from Spontaneous Reporting Systems, Sequence Symmetry Analysis and a Case-Control Study with a Focus on Medicines Used in Primary Care. Drug Saf 2022; 45:1413-1421. [PMID: 36127547 PMCID: PMC9560925 DOI: 10.1007/s40264-022-01238-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 09/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Primary care provides an opportunity to prevent community acquired, medicine or drug-induced acute kidney injury. One of the barriers to proactive prevention of medicine-induced kidney injury in primary care is the lack of a list of nephrotoxic medicines that are most problematic in primary care, particularly one that provides a comparison of risks across medicines. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to consolidate evidence on the risks associated with medicines and acute kidney injury, with a focus on medicines used in primary care. METHOD We searched the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases to identify published studies of all medicines associated with acute kidney injury identified from spontaneous report data. For each medicine positively associated with acute kidney injury, as identified from spontaneous reports, we implemented a sequence symmetry analysis (SSA) and a case-control design to determine the association between the medicine and hospital admission with a primary diagnosis of acute kidney injury (representing community-acquired acute kidney injury). Administrative claims data held by the Australian Government Department of Veterans' Affairs for the study period 2005-2019 were used. RESULTS We identified 89 medicines suspected of causing acute kidney injury based on spontaneous report data and a reporting odds ratio above 2, from Japan, France and the US. Spironolactone had risk estimates of 3 or more based on spontaneous reports, SSA and case-control methods, while furosemide and trimethoprim with sulfamethoxazole had risk estimates of 1.5 or more. Positive association with SSA and spontaneous reports, but not case control, showed zoledronic acid had risk estimates above 2, while candesartan telmisartan, simvastatin, naproxen and ibuprofen all had risk estimates in SSA between 1.5 and 2. Positive associations with case-control and spontaneous reports, but not SSA, were found for amphotericin B, omeprazole, metformin, amlodipine, ramipril, olmesartan, ciprofloxacin, valaciclovir, mycophenolate and diclofenac. All with the exception of metformin and omeprazole had risk estimates above 2. CONCLUSION This research highlights a number of medicines that may contribute to acute injury; however, we had an insufficient sample to confirm associations of some medicines. Spironolactone, furosemide, and trimethoprim with sulfamethoxazole are medicines that, in particular, need to be used carefully and monitored closely in patients in the community at risk of acute kidney injury.

Abstract
Drugs constitute one of the leading causes of acute kidney injuries (AKIs) and can appear in community (CA‐AKI) or hospital (HA‐AKI) population. The objectives of the present study of a cohort of hospitalized patients with AKI were to describe the characteristics of drug‐induced AKIs and the patients' short‐term outcomes and assess risk factors for drug‐induced AKIs overall, CA‐AKIs, and HA‐AKIs. Based on a cohort of 1557 hospitalized patients suffering from AKIs based on PMSI extraction and chart review (IRA‐PMSI), drug‐induced AKIs were identified by applying the Naranjo adverse drug reaction (ADR) probability scale. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with CA‐AKIs and/or HA‐AKIs. When considering the 1557 patients who experienced an AKI, 445 (28.6%) of the injuries were drug‐induced (180 CA‐AKIs (40.4%) and 265 HA‐AKIs (59.6%)). Antibiotics, diuretics, and contrast agents were significantly more likely to be involved in HA‐AKIs, whereas antineoplastic, lipid‐lowering drugs, antidiabetics, and immunosuppressive were significantly more likely to be involved in CA‐AKIs. Female sex (odds ratio [OR] [95%CI] = 1.3 [1.04–1.67]), chronic kidney disease (CKD) (OR = 1.8 [1.40–2.67]), and a history of ADRs of any type (OR = 1.3 [1.05–1.73]) were significant risk factors for drug‐induced AKIs. CKD was a risk factor for both CA‐AKI and HA‐AKI. In view of the long‐term impact of AKI on the kidneys and the differences between our CA‐AKI and HA‐AKI subgroups, our present results are interesting for optimizing treatments, limiting the occurrence of CA‐ and HA‐AKIs and (ultimately) reducing healthcare costs.

Abstract
Drug-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) can occur both in primary care (i.e., community-acquired AKI (CA-AKI)) and in hospital settings (i.e., hospital-acquired AKI (HA-AKI)). The reported prevalence of these events varies markedly from one study to another, mainly due to differences in the study design. To estimate the frequency of drug-induced AKIs (both CA-AKIs and HA-AKIs) observed in a French university hospital, we applied the capture-recapture method to 1) the French national pharmacovigilance database (FPVD) and 2) a cohort of hospitalized patients with drug-induced AKIs (documented by analyzing the French national hospital discharge database and the patients’ electronic medical records). Drug-induced AKIs were determined according to the Naranjo algorithm and then categorized as CA-AKIs or HA-AKIs. A total number of 1,557 episodes of AKI were record during the study period, of them, the estimated total number of drug-induced AKIs was 593 [95% confidence interval (CI): 485–702], and the estimated prevalence was 38.1% [95%CI: 35.67–40.50]. The prevalences of HA-AKIs and CA-AKIs were similar (39.4% [36.24–42.54] and 37.4% [33.67–41.21], respectively). Only 6.1% of the drug-induced AKIs were recorded in the FPVD, and the proportions of recorded HA-AKIs and CA-AKI differed markedly (3.0% vs. 10.5%, respectively). One of the most frequently involved drug classes were antibiotics in the HA-AKI subgroup (13.0%) and antineoplastics in the CA-AKI subgroup (8.3%). Application of the capture-recapture method to two incomplete data sources can improve the ability to identify and quantify adverse drug reactions like AKIs. The frequency of drug-induced AKI is relatively high and is probably underestimated. The clinical management of an AKI might depend on where it originated.

Abstract
Introduction Older people in community are susceptible to acute kidney injury (AKI) and hemodialysis is the most important supportive measure used in the management of severe AKI. This study aims to investigate the clinical characteristics, outcomes and risk factors for mortality in older patients with dialysis-receiving-community-acquired AKI (CA-AKI). Methods A total of 1953 CA-AKI patients aged 65 years old and above were recruited from 2013 to 2016. Among which, 200 patients received hemodialysis. Clinical characteristics, outcomes, suspected nephrotoxic drug use after CA-AKI and risk factors for mortality in older CA-AKI patients with dialysis were analyzed. Results The percentage of CA-AKI patients receiving hemodialysis was 10.2%. Compared with non-dialysis patients, dialysis-receiving patients had more comorbidity, and worse renal function. The types of suspected nephrotoxic drugs used in dialysis patients were more than those in non-dialysis patients. Moreover, dialysis-receiving patients had worse outcomes, including complete recovery of renal function (42.0% vs 71.6%), intensive care unit (ICU) (69.0% vs 15.3%) transfer and in-hospital mortality (50.5% vs 5.6%) (P<0.01). Age, moderate/severe liver disease, beta lactam antibiotics, glycopeptide antibiotics, antifungal agents, drugs for anti-heart failure, category of suspected nephrotoxic drugs, hyperkalemia, increased leucocyte count, ICU transfer, multiple organ dysfunction (MODS), cardiogenic shock and cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) were risk factors for mortality by univariate logistic regression analysis. After adjusting for confounding factors, the independent risk factors were glycopeptide antibiotics, drugs for anti-heart failure, ICU transfer, MODS and CPR. Conclusion The percentage of older CA-AKI patients receiving dialysis was high, and these patients had more comorbidity and worse prognosis. Glycopeptide antibiotics, drugs for anti-heart failure, ICU transfer, MODS and CPR were independent risk factors for mortality.

Abstract
Drug-induced nephrotoxicity is an important and increasing cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), which accounts for approximately 20% of hospitalized patients. Previous reviews studies on immunity and AKI focused mainly on ischemia-reperfusion (IR), whereas no systematic review addressing drug-induced AKI and its related immune mechanisms is available. Recent studies have provided a deeper understanding on the mechanisms of drug-induced AKI, among which acute tubular interstitial injury induced by the breakdown of innate immunity was reported to play an important role. Emerging research on mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy has revealed its potential as treatment for drug-induced AKI. MSCs can inhibit kidney damage by regulating the innate immune balance, promoting kidney repair, and preventing kidney fibrosis. However, it is important to note that there are various sources of MSCs, which impacts on the immunomodulatory ability of the cells. This review aims to address the immune pathogenesis of drug-induced AKI versus that of IR-induced AKI, and to explore the immunomodulatory effects and therapeutic potential of MSCs for drug-induced AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Goals of managing patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) are mitigating disease progression and ensuring safety while providing supportive care because no effective treatment exists. One strategy recommended in guidelines to meet these goals is optimizing medication management. Unfortunately, guideline implementation appears to be lacking as observed by the frequent occurrence of medication errors and adverse drug events. OBJECTIVE To address this performance gap in the care of hospitalized patients receiving nephrotoxins and renally eliminated drugs, we sought to provide a potential intervention based on theory-informed behavior change. METHODS Formative research with a qualitative analysis identifying what needs to change in patient care was completed by obtaining clinician opinion and expert opinion and reviewing the published literature. Frontline providers, including 8 physicians, 4 pharmacists, and a multiprofessional group of authors, provided insight into possible barriers to appropriate prescribing. Capability, Opportunity, Motivation and Behavior model and Theoretical Domain Framework were applied to characterize behavior change interventions and inform a potential implementation intervention for changing inappropriate prescribing behaviors. RESULTS Lack of knowledge about appropriate drug management in patients at risk for adverse outcomes was provided as a major barrier. Other reported barriers included a lack of: (1) tools to assist with drug management, (2) motivation to make changes, (3) routinization, and (4) an accountable clinician. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Assigning a designated clinician to execute a stepwise, routine care process following the checklist provided is a recommended intervention to overcome barriers. The intended impact is behavior change that reduces inappropriate prescribing.
