1 Medication Management In Geriatric CKD 10 SEPTEMBER 2016 Jessica Goh Senior Pharmacist 1

2 Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) Changes In Elderly 2

3 PHARMACOKINETICS (PK) ABSORPTION: process of drug entering blood stream DISTRIBUTION : dispersion/dissemination of drug to fluids and tissue in body METABOLISM : irreversible conversion of parent compounds to metabolites EXCRETION : elimination of metabolites from body 3

4 Absorption PO Meds PK CHANGES IN ELDERLY -Vitamin B12, Calcium and iron have absorption in elderly due to gastric ph or GI motility -Patients with heart failure may have blood flow to the GIT, leading to absorption Topical -Skin atrophies with aging reduced blood flow, impaired transdermal absorption IM/SC meds -Elderly have muscle mass poorer perfusion 4 Delafuente et al. Consult Pharm 2008

5 Distribution PK CHANGES IN ELDERLY - total body water Affects watersoluble drugs (eg digoxin, theophylline, morphine) due to Vd Higher serum drug concentrations - muscle mass Distribution to lean tissue is smaller Lower doses required -Higher body fat Affects lipid soluble drugs (eg phenytoin,valproate, diazepam) as they have larger Vd Longer duration of action as they are bound to the body longer -Lower dose or frequency interval required Delafuente et al. Consult Pharm

6 PK CHANGES IN ELDERLY Distribution - albumin concentrations (malnourished/frail/prolonged illness) More unbound drugs Higher serum concentrations of free drug -Uremic toxins protein binding affinity for drugs (eg penicillins, phenytoin,theophylline) = free (unbound)drug concentrations Delafuente et al. Consult Pharm

7 Metabolism PK CHANGES IN ELDERLY -Drugs undergoes metabolism in the liver via Phase 1 and Phase 2 reactions -Aging causes liver to be smaller poorer liver blood perfusion -Phase 1 (oxidation/reduction/hydrolysis) liver metabolism is in older patients -CYP system is responsible for Phase 1 reactions of many medications. >50% of drugs undergo CYP3A4 metabolism -Phase 2 reactions : not affected with aging Delafuente et al. Consult Pharm

8 PK CHANGES IN ELDERLY Elimination -as CrCl drug clearance by tubular secretion and glomerular filtration -Renal function may be overestimated due to low muscle mass Delafuente et al. Consult Pharm

9 PD CHANGES IN ELDERLY -Blunted baroreflex responses - inotropic and chronotropic responses to β 1 adrenergic stimulation -Increased sensitivity to agents that act on the central nervous system (CNS) Delafuente et al. Consult Pharm

10 ADJUSTING MEDICATIONS IN GERIATRIC CKD -General rule of thumb: Start low, Go s l o w -Avoid long acting agents in elderly -Some dosage adjustments may be based on CrCl (derived from Cockcroft-Gault equation) or egfr -Beers Criteria *Adjustments quoted in the following slides are for non-dialysis CKD patients 10
