Pharmacodynamic Characteristics of Nephrotoxicity Associated With Vancomycin Use in Children.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Limited studies incorporating population-based pharmacokinetic modeling have been conducted to determine pharmacodynamic indices associated with nephrotoxicity during vancomycin exposure in children. METHODS A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted from September 2003 to December 2011 at 2 hospitals. Nephrotoxicity was defined as an increase in serum creatinine concentration (SCr) by ≥0.5 mg/dL, or ≥50% increase in baseline SCr, either persisting for ≥2 consecutive days. A 1-compartment model with first-order kinetics was used in NONMEM 7.2 to estimate trough concentrations (Cmin) and area under the curve over 24 hours (AUC). Univariate, classification and regression tree (CART), and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify factors contributing to nephrotoxicity. RESULTS The analyses included 680 pediatric subjects with 1576 vancomycin serum concentrations. Based on univariate analysis, median Cmin (14.2 [interquartile range, IQR, 7.1-25.4] vs 8.4 [IQR, 5.5-12.4] mcg/mL; P = .001) and AUC (544 [IQR, 359-801] vs 378 [IQR, 304-494]; P < .001) were significantly higher in the nephrotoxic group compared with the non-nephrotoxic group. Using CART, we discovered that subjects with doses ≥60 mg/kg per day and AUC >1063 mg-h/L had a significantly higher occurrence of nephrotoxicity (P = .005). Adjusting for intensive care unit stay and concomitant nephrotoxic drugs, steady-state vancomycin Cmin ≥15 mcg/mL (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1-5.8; P = .028) and AUC ≥800 mg-h/L (aOR, 3.7; 95% CI, 1.2-11.0; P = .018) were associated with increased risk of nephrotoxicity. CONCLUSIONS Our study describes the pediatric exposure-nephrotoxicity relationships for vancomycin. Vancomycin Cmin ≥15 mcg/mL and AUC ≥800 mg-h/L in children are independently associated with a > 2.5-fold increased risk of nephrotoxicity and may provide justification for use of alternative antibiotics in selected situations.

Is peak concentration needed in therapeutic drug monitoring of vancomycin? A pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic analysis in patients with methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus pneumonia.
BACKGROUND We analyzed the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship of vancomycin to determine the drug exposure parameters that correlate with the efficacy and nephrotoxicity of vancomycin in patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia and evaluated the need to use peak concentration in therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). METHODS Serum drug concentrations of 31 hos...
متن کاملHow much vancomycin dose is enough for the MRSA infection in pediatric patients with various degrees of renal function?
Today, an increase in vancomycin dose has been proposed to ensure efficacy. However, the risk of nephrotoxicity will increase with the dose. This study was aimed at evaluating the dosage regimens of vancomycin in pediatric patients based on pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) and to optimize dosage individualization. Population pharmacokinetics analysis was performed on 155 Chinese childr...

OBJECTIVES Polymyxin B is an active agent against many MDR Gram-negative bacteria, but nephrotoxicity is a major hindrance to its widespread use. To guide its optimal use, we determined the risk factors for nephrotoxicity onset associated with polymyxin B. METHODS In a multicentre, retrospective, cohort study, we evaluated adult patients with normal renal function who received ≥72 h of polymy...
متن کاملThe Whole Price of Vancomycin: Toxicities, Troughs, and Time
Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic that is active against Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Nephrotoxicity, which is usually reversible, is the most serious common adverse effect of vancomycin. Vancomycin-associated nephrotoxicity prolongs hospital stays, imposes a need for additional antibiotics and, in rare circumstances, dialysis treatment, a...
