Vancomycin-associated acute kidney injury in Hong Kong in 2012-2016.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:To study the incidence of vancomycin-associated acute kidney injury (VA-AKI) in Hong Kong and identify risk factors for VA-AKI. METHOD:Patients with vancomycin prescription and blood level measurement in 2012-2016 were identified using the Hong Kong Hospital Authority Clinical Data Analysis and Reporting System. Acute kidney injury was defined using KDIGO criteria. Patients without creatinine measurements, steady-state trough vancomycin level or who had vancomycin treatment ?60 and newborn and infants, respectively. Baseline creatinine, serum trough vancomycin level, systematic disease history including respiratory failure, hypertension, congestive heart failure, chronic renal failure, anemia and type II diabetes, and concomitant diuretics, piperacillin-tazobactam (PTZ) and meropenem prescription were significantly higher in VA-AKI patients older than 12?years. Logistic regression showed that older age group, higher baseline creatinine, serum trough vancomycin level, respiratory failure, chronic renal failure and congestive heart failure, concomitant diuretics, PTZ and meropenem prescription, and longer hospital stay were all associated with increased risk of VA-AKI. CONCLUSION:The incidence of VA-AKI in Hong Kong is low but shows no decline. Patients with higher baseline creatinine, multi-organ diseases and multiple drugs administration should have their vancomycin level monitored to decrease the risk of VA-AKI.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Vancomycin associated acute kidney injury (vAKI) is a well known complication in pediatric patients. Identification and characterization of the incidence and risk factors for vAKI in the pediatric population would assist clinicians in potentially preventing or mitigating vAKI. METHODS AND MATERIALS:A 6 year retrospective cohort study was designed. Patients were included if they were < 19 years of age, received vancomycin as inpatients, and had a baseline SCr and one other SCr drawn during and up to 72 hours after the discontinuation of vancomycin. Data collection included patient demographics, vancomycin doses and length of therapy, vancomycin serum concentrations, and concomitant medications. The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria were used to characterize acute kidney injury. Descriptive statistical methods were used and ordinal logistic regression was employed to determine variables significantly associated with vAKI. RESULTS:A total of 7,095 patients met study criteria (55.4% male, median age 4.1 years (IQR 0.67-11.2 years)). Mechanical ventilation was used in 7.9% (n = 563) and mortality was 4.9% (n = 344). A total of 153 concomitant medications were identified. A median of 5 (IQR 3-7) SCr values were obtained and median SCr prior to vancomycin was 0.39 (IQR 0.28-0.57) mg/dL (CrCl 134±58 mL/min/1.73m2). Vancomycin was administered for a median of 2 (IQR 1-3) days (14.9±1.6 mg/kg/dose). vAKI was present in 12.2% (n = 862: KDIGO stage 1 (8.30%, n = 589), KDIGO stage 2 (1.94%, n = 138) KDIGO stage 3 (1.89%, n = 134)). Mean vancomycin serum concentration at 6-8 hours after a dose for patients with vAKI (10.7±8.9 mg/L) was significantly, but not clinically different for patients with no vAKI (7.5±6.3 mg/L). (p<0.05) Ordinal logistic regression identified total dose of vancomycin, vancomycin administration in the intensive care unit, and concomitant medication administration as significant for vAKI. In particular, concomitant administration of several different medications, including nafcillin, clindamycin, and acetazolamide, were noted for strong associations with vAKI. (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Moderate to severe acute kidney injury due to vancomycin is infrequent in children and associated with concomitant medication use and total dose of vancomycin. Serum vancomycin concentrations are not useful predictors of vAKI in the pediatric population.

Project description:The objective of this study was to investigate the current situation of vancomycin (VAN)-associated acute kidney injury (VA-AKI) in China and identify the risk factors for VA-AKI, as well as to comprehensively examine the risk related to concurrent drug use. Further, we assessed the outcomes of patients who developed VA-AKI and the risk factors for these outcomes. Finally, we aimed to provide suggestions for improving the prevention and treatment of VA-AKI in China.We conducted a retrospective observational study of inpatients who had been treated with VAN between January 2013 and December 2013 at Peking University First Hospital. AKI was defined as an increase in SCr of ?0.3 mg/dl (?26.5 ?mol/l) within 48 hours or an increase to ?1.5 times the baseline certainly or presumably within the past 7 days. VA-AKI was defined as the development of AKI during VAN therapy or within 7 days following the termination of VAN therapy. In addition, we compared patients with NO-AKI, who did not develop AKI during their hospitalization, with those with VA-AKI.Of the 934 patients treated with VAN during their hospital stay, 740 were included in this study. Among those excluded, 38.1% (74/194) were excluded because of a lack of data on serum creatinine (SCr). Among the included patients, 120 had confirmed VA-AKI, with an incidence of 16.2% (120/740). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that an elevated baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (odds ratio [OR] = 1.009; p = 0.017) and concomitant vasopressor therapy (OR = 2.942; p = 0.009), nitrate use (OR = 2.869; p = 0.007), imipenem-cilastatin treatment (OR = 4.708; p = 0.000), and contrast medium administration (OR = 6.609 p = 0.005) were independent risk factors for VA-AKI; in addition, the receipt of orthopedic/trauma/burn surgery (OR = 0.3575; p = 0.011) and concomitant compound glycyrrhizin use (OR = 0.290; p = 0.017) were independent protective factors for VA-AKI. Multiple logistic regression analysis also demonstrated that among the patients who developed VA-AKI, coronary heart disease (CHD) (OR = 12.6; p = 0.006) and concomitant vasopressor therapy (OR = 15.4; p = 0.001) were independent risk factors for death. We also evaluated the factors influencing improvement of renal function. Multiple logistic regression analysis demonstrated that CHD (OR = 8.858, p = 0.019) and concomitant contrast medium administration (OR = 9.779, p = 0.005) were independent risk factors and that simultaneous ?-blocker treatment (OR = 0.124, p = 0.001) was an independent protective factor for improvement of renal function.Patients treated with VAN received insufficient monitoring of SCr and inadequate therapeutic drug monitoring. We recommend that hospitals increase their investment in clinical pharmacists. An elevated baseline eGFR and concomitant vasopressor therapy, nitrate use, imipenem-cilastatin treatment, and contrast medium administration were independent risk factors for VA-AKI; in addition, orthopedic/trauma/burn surgery and concomitant compound glycyrrhizin use were independent protective factors for VA-AKI.

Project description:Vancomycin has been associated with acute kidney injury (AKI). However, the pharmacokinetic/toxicodynamic relationship for AKI is not well defined. Allometrically scaled vancomycin exposures were used to assess the relationship between vancomycin exposure and AKI. Male Sprague-Dawley rats received clinical-grade vancomycin in normal saline (NS) as intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections for 24- to 72-h durations with doses ranging 0 to 200 mg/kg of body weight divided once or twice daily. Urine was collected over the protocol's final 24 h. Renal histopathology was qualitatively scored. Urinary biomarkers (e.g., cystatin C, clusterin, kidney injury molecule 1 [KIM-1], osteopontin, lipocalin 2/neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin 2) were assayed using a Luminex xMAP system. Plasma vancomycin concentrations were assayed by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection. A three-compartment vancomycin pharmacokinetic model was fit to the data with the Pmetrics package for R. The exposure-response in the first 24 h was evaluated using Spearman's nonparametric correlation coefficient (rs) values for the area under the concentration-time curve during the first 24 h (AUC0-24), the maximum concentration in plasma during the first 24 h (Cmax0-24 ), and the lowest (minimum) concentration in plasma after the dose closest to 24 h (Cmin0-24 ). A total of 52 rats received vancomycin (n = 42) or NS (n = 10). The strongest exposure-response correlations were observed between AUC0-24 and Cmax0-24 and urinary AKI biomarkers. Exposure-response correlations (rs values) for AUC0-24, Cmax0-24 , and Cmin0-24 were 0.37, 0.39, and 0.22, respectively, for clusterin; 0.42, 0.45, and 0.26, respectively, for KIM-1; and 0.52, 0.55, and 0.42, respectively, for osteopontin. However, no differences in histopathological scores were observed. Optimal sampling times after administration of the i.p. dose were 0.25, 0.75, 2.75, and 8 h for the once-daily dosing schemes and 0.25, 1.25, 14.5, and 17.25 h for the twice-daily dosing schemes. Our observations suggest that AUC0-24 or Cmax0-24 correlates with increases in urinary AKI biomarkers.

Project description:Introduction: The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) related to vancomycin is variable, and several risk factors related to the treatment and patients may explain the nephrotoxicity. The role of urinary biomarkers in AKI related to vancomycin is unknown. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of urinary IL-18, KIM-1, NGAL, TIMP-2, and IGFBP7 as diagnostic and prognostic predictors of AKI related to vancomycin. Methods: A prospective cohort study of patients receiving vancomycin and admitted to wards of a public university hospital from July 2019 to May 2020 was performed. We excluded patients that had AKI before starting vancomycin, hemodynamic instability, inability to collect urine, and chronic kidney disease stage 5. Results: Ninety-four patients were included, and the prevalence of AKI was 24.5%, while the general mortality was 8.7%. AKI occurred 11 ± 2 days after the first vancomycin dose. The most frequent KDIGO stage was 1 (61%). There was no difference between patients who developed and did not develop AKI due to gender, length of hospital stay, dose, and time of vancomycin use. Logistic regression identified age (OR 6.6, CI 1.16-38.22, p = 0.03), plasmatic vancomycin concentrations between 96 and 144 h (OR 1.18, CI 1.04-1.40, p = 0.04), and urinary NGAL levels between 96 and 144 h (OR 1.123, CI 1.096-1.290, p = 0.03) as predictors of AKI. The time of vancomycin use (OR 4.61, CI 1.11-22.02, p = 0.03), higher plasmatic vancomycin concentrations between 192 and 240 h (OR 1.02, CI 0.98-1.06, p = 0.26), and higher cell cycle arrest urinary biomarkers TIMP-2 multiplied by IGFBP-7 between 144 and 192 h (OR 1.33, CI 1.10-1.62, p = 0.02; OR 1.19, CI 1.09-1.39, p = 0.04, respectively) were identified as prognostic factors for non-recovery of kidney function at discharge. Conclusion: AKI related to vancomycin was frequent in patients hospitalized in wards. Age, plasmatic vancomycin concentrations, and NGAL between 96 and 144 h were identified as predictors of AKI related to vancomycin use. Plasmatic vancomycin concentrations and urinary NGAL were predictors of AKI diagnosis within the next 5 days. The urinary biomarkers of cell cycle arrest TIMP-2 and IGFBP-7 and the duration of vancomycin use were associated with non-recovery of kidney function at hospital discharge moment.
