De-indexed estimated glomerular filtration rates for the dosing of oral antidiabetic drugs in patients with chronic kidney disease. Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1375838. [PMID: 39027337 PMCID: PMC11255395 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1375838] [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: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Adjusting drug dose levels based on equations that standardize the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) to a body surface area (BSA) of 1.73 m2 can pose challenges, especially for patients with extremely high or low body mass index (BMI). The objective of the present study of patients with CKD and diabetes was to assess the impact of deindexing creatinine-based equations on estimates of kidney function and on the frequency of inappropriate prescriptions of oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs). Methods: The prospective CKD-REIN cohort is comprised of patients with eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. The inclusion criteria for this study were the use of OADs and the availability of data on weight, height and serum creatinine. We compared data for three BMI subgroups (group 1 <30 kg/m2; group 2 30-34.9 kg/m2; group 3 ≥35 kg/m2). Inappropriate prescriptions (contraindicated or over-dosed drugs) were assessed with regard to the summary of product characteristics and the patient's kidney function estimated with the 2009 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation, the 2021 CKD-EPI equation, the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation, the European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) equation, their deindexed estimates, and the Cockcroft-Gault (CG) formula. The impact of deindexing the equations was evaluated by assessing 1) the difference between the indexed and deindexed eGFRs, and 2) the difference in the proportion of patients with at least one inappropriate OAD prescription between the indexed and deindexed estimates. Results: At baseline, 694 patients were receiving OADs. The median BMI was 30.7 kg/m2, the mean BSA was 1.98 m2, and 90% of patients had a BSA >1.73 m2. Deindexing the kidney function estimates led to higher eGFRs, especially in BMI group 3. The proportion of patients with at least one inappropriate prescription differed greatly when comparing indexed and deindexed estimates. The magnitude of the difference increased with the BMI: when comparing BMI group 1 with BMI group 3, the difference was respectively -4% and -10% between deindexed 2021 CKD-EPI and indexed CKD-EPI. Metformin and sitagliptin were the most frequent inappropriately prescribed OADs. Conclusion: We highlight significant differences between the BSA-indexed and deindexed versions of equations used to estimate kidney function, emphasizing the importance of using deindexed estimates to adjust drug dose levels - especially in patients with an extreme BMI.

J Pharm Technol 2024; 40:142-151.

Abstract
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the major health issues effecting around 15% of world population, and its further complications has raised the need of polypharmacy for management. But this polypharmacy also upsurges the risk of potential drug-drug interactions (pDDIs) in CKD patients, which may further be responsible for increased morbidity and mortality. Objective: The main objective is therefore to evaluate the distribution, severity, causes, associated drug interactions, and clinical relevance of determination of pDDIs in CKD patients. Methods: Medical files of CKD patients examined at nephrology department, Maharishi Markandeshwar Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (MMIMSR), Mullana, between December 2022 and May 2023 were cross-sectionally assessed for this study. Medscape drug interaction checker was used to study patient profiles for pDDIs, and suggestive measures to minimize those pDDIs were studied using DDInter to ensure better clinical decision-making and patient safety. IBM SPSS (version 24) was utilized for statistical analysis. Results: The data reveal that 74.5% of the 200 medical files being evaluated had 839 pDDIs in total, out of which nearly 78.3% of patients had moderate, 15.6% had minor, and 6.07% had serious interactions. The potential adverse outcomes of pDDIs included an irregular heartbeat, hypokalemia, central nervous system (CNS) adverse effects, hypoglycemia, and a decline in therapeutic efficacy. The prevalence of pDDIs was discovered to be substantially correlated with age ≥60 years, (odds ratio [OR] = 0.65; 95% CI = 0.4-0.9; P = 0.040), length of stay ≥10 days (OR = 4.0; 95% CI = 1.29-6.1; P = 0.016), and number of prescribed drugs ≥10 (OR = 5.5; 95% CI = 2.45-10.69; P = 0.004). Conclusion: Patients with CKD have a high incidence of pDDIs (mainly mild to moderate). Older age, duration of hospital stays, and polypharmacy all raise the risk of pDDIs. Healthcare professionals (physicians and clinical pharmacist) should use drug interaction checker software programs like Medscape and DDInter to acquire knowledge about different pDDIS and their alternative measures so that the associated adverse drug reactions (ADRs) can be controlled and rational drug combination can be prescribed for management of CKD ensuring better patient care.

Pattern, frequency and factors associated with inappropriate high dosing in chronic kidney disease patients at a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan. BMC Nephrol 2023; 24:118. [PMID: 37127612 PMCID: PMC10150458 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-023-03167-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2022] [Accepted: 04/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic kidney diseases (CKD) are susceptible to the toxic drug effects if given unadjusted doses. Although Pakistan harbors a high burden of CKD patients, there is limited information available on the frequency, pattern and factors associated with unadjusted drug doses among CKD patients. METHODS This cross-sectional study conducted at Sandeman Provincial Hospital, Quetta included 303 non-dialysis ambulatory CKD patients (glomerular filtration rate < 60 ml/min/1.73m2). The patients' data were collected through a purpose designed data collection form. The appropriateness of doses was checked against the renal drug handbook-2018, Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guidelines, British National Formulary-2022, and manufacturer leaflets. Data were analysed by SPSS 23 and multiple binary logistic regression analysis was used to assess the factors associated with receiving inappropriate high doses. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The patients received a total of 2265 prescription lines, with a median of eight different drugs per patient (interquartile range: 6-9 drugs). A total of 34.5% (783/2265) drugs required dose adjustment. Of these, doses were not adjusted for 56.1% (440) drugs in 162 (53.4%) patients. The most common pharmacological class of drugs requiring dose adjustment were antibiotics (79.1%), followed by antidiabetics (59.2%), diuretics (57.0%), angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (56.9%), beta blockers (56.9%), analgesics (56.0%), angiotensin receptor blockers (55.2%), domperidone (53.9%) and antihyperlipidmics (46.1%). Patient's age of 41-60 (OR = 5.76) and > 60 years (OR = 9.49), hypertension (OR = 2.68), diabetes mellitus (OR = 3.47) and cardiovascular diseases (OR = 2.82) had statistically significant association (p-value < 0.05) with inappropriate high doses. CONCLUSION The high frequency of inappropriate high doses suggests an important quality gap in medication dosing for patients with ND-CKD at the study site. Special attention should be paid to the drugs and patients with identified risk factors for receiving inappropriate high doses.

SAGE Open Med 2023; 11:20503121221150104. [PMID: 36741935 PMCID: PMC9893064 DOI: 10.1177/20503121221150104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective There is a high prevalence of inadequate dose adjustment among inpatients with renal insufficiency worldwide. There is, however, a paucity of studies that summarizes the topic in the African context. Therefore, this study aims to summarize the prevalence of inappropriate drug dose adjustment (IDDA) and associated factors among inpatients with renal impairment in Africa. Methods A literature search for English-language articles was conducted using reputable databases such as PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. The search was carried out between 3 February and 3 March of 2022. All published articles that were online at the time of data collection were considered. Observational studies that examined the prevalence of IDDA for any type of drug in renal impairment as a primary or secondary outcome were included in our analysis. Statistical software such as Open Meta Analyst and Review Manager were used to examine outcome measures. I2 statistics, Logit event rate, and Der Simonian and Laird's random effect models were also used. Results Seven articles were qualified for the systematic review and meta-analysis. All included studies comprised a total of 1918 patients. A total of 5072 prescriptions were assessed, and 1879 (37%) of them had at least one drug that required a dose adjustment. The pooled prevalence of IDDA among adult patients with renal impairment was 13.7% (95% confidence interval (CI) = 7.9%-19.5%) in Africa. Based on the number of prescriptions containing medications that required dose adjustment, the pooled prevalence accounts for 39.3% (95% CI = 24.1%-54.4%) (932/1879). Factors associated with inappropriate drug prescribing and usage concerning renal function were the number/types of prescribed medicines (most common), age, stage of renal impairment, comorbidity, and unemployment. Conclusions In this study, IDDA practice appears to be a common challenge among inpatients with renal insufficiency in Africa. The number and type of medications prescribed, age, stage of renal impairment, comorbidity, and unemployment were factors associated with inappropriate drug prescribing and use. In addition to expanding such studies, hospitals across Africa must conduct research on the clinical outcomes of IDDA practices in patients with renal impairment.
