1 Acute Kidney Injury (AKI): Definition and Diagnostic Criteria Formerly referred as acute renal failure Antimicrobial Safety: Spare the Kidneys Annie Wong-Beringer, Pharm.D., FIDSA Over 30 definitions for ARF used in literature 25% over baseline Scr to need for dialysis Difficultto to standardize care and design preventive and treatment strategies AKI complex disorder reflecting the entire spectrum of ARF An acute decline in kidney function secondary to an injury that causes functional and structural changes in the kidneys. Consensus development from the ADQI (major critical care and nephrology societies worldwide) for uniform standards for definition and classification of AKI RIFLE and AKIN criteria Disclosure AKIN Criteria for Diagnosis of AKI Annie Wong-Beringer reports the following relevant financial relationships: Research Grant Recipient: Pfizer Inc., Forest Inc. Ricci, Nat Rev Nephrol 2011 Learning Objectives Pathophysiology of AKI 1. Discuss the diagnosis, epidemiology, and pathophysiology of acute kidney injury (AKI). 2. Identify predisposing risk factors for antibiotic associated AKI High dose vancomycin Telavancin Colistin 3. Evaluate a monitoring plan to facilitate early detection of AKI. KIM 1 4. Develop an alternative treatment plan in the event AKI develops. Vaidya, Annu Rev Pharmacol Tox 2008 Page 1 of 8

2 Epidemiology of AKI AKI complicates 1% to 7% of all hospital admissions. ICU patients 20 30% develop AKI % mortality rate. 13% remained dialysis dependent for those who survived to hospital discharge. Nephrotoxic drugs contributing factors in 19 25% of cases of severe AKI. Pannu, Crit Care Med 2008 Vaidya, Annu Rev Pharmacol Toxicol 2008 Vancomycin Associated Nephrotoxicity (NT) Increasing reports of NT with high dose therapy. Uncommon at standard dose (Rybak, 1990) 5% vanco vs 11% AG vs 22% vanc + AG Risk factors: concomitant nephrotoxin, Tr > 10mg/L, prolonged duration (>21 d) Pathogenesis Dose and time dependent exposure causes proximal tubule necrosis and mitochondrial damage involving oxidative stress and potentially inflammation and complement activation. Dieterich, Tox Sci 2009 Arimura, Free Rad Biol Med 2012 Current Practice Management of infections caused by antibioticresistant pathogens have necessitated the use of more aggressive dosing or renal toxic antibiotics: High dose vancomycin (Trough mg/l) Telavancin Colistin (or polymixin) Review of Literature Majority of studies were retrospective in design Study definitions used (most common): High dose (HD): Tr 15 20mg/L or 4g/d NT: 50% in Scr over baseline or 50% in Clcr from baseline on2 consecutive measurements.

5 Summary: Safety of HD Vancomycin Therapy 1. NT associated with high trough is a function of intensity and duration of exposure, compounded by concomitant NTxns, vasopressors and physiological impairment. 2. High trough appears to be safe in the absence of factors for NT for limited duration (< 14 d), and dosed using IBW for obese patients. 3. High Dose empirical therapy does not pose signific risk, with NT onset of 4 8 days. 4. Vigilant monitoring to ensure trough levels < 20 ug/ml and for early signs of renal injury (i.e. abrupt change of 0.3 mg/dl in Scr or UOP within 48 h).

8 Spectrum of AKI Vaidya, Annu Rev Pharmacol Tox 2008 Clinical Qualification of Urinary Biomarkers for Diagnosis of AKI A panel of biomarkers will be necessary for clinical utility Disparate settings under which kidney injury occurs Different biomarkers provide different information on the location and extent of tubular injury & functional consequences of tubular injury Consortium clinical trials initiated to validate a panel of biomarkers for drug induced d daki aminoglycosides, cisplatin (U.S.) IV contrast (Europe) Endpoints: 1. Compare biomarker specificity and sensitivity to Scr in detecting nephrotoxic drug exposure 2. Validate threshold values for biomarkers in diagnosing AKI. Ferguson, Toxicol 2008 Goodsaid, CPT 2009 Urinary Biomarkers in Early Diagnosis of AKI Upon injury, enzymes present in the tubular epithelial cell may be released into the urine secondary to leakage from damage or secondary to intensified enzyme induction during the repair and regeneration process. Dose dependent correlated to degree of tissue damage present Enzyme detection may provide clues to the site and severity of tubular injury based on cellular origin of enzymes: Proximal vs tubule brush border, lysosome, or cytoplasm * Early markers of injury NOT necessary of kidney function * Specificity for AKI varies dependent on physiologic conditions * Urinary biomarkers may be unstable requiring fast and special processing Han, Kidney International 2008 Ferguson, Toxicol 2008 Goodsaid, CPT 2009 Summary Emergence of multidrug resistant pathogens necessitates use of nephrotoxic antibiotics NT a function of dose and duration Avoidable risks: concomitant nephrotoxins More studies needed to determine best weight to base dosing in obese patients Use of standardized diagnostic criteria of AKI will aid in earlier detection of AKI and for comparison of nephrotoxicity rates across studies and populations. Future monitoring can be optimized with use of a panel of urinary biomarkers that are more sensitive and specific than serum creatinine.
