Introduction • The heart pumps approximately 25% of CO into
the kidneys• Any drug in the blood will eventually reach the
highly vascularized kidneys• May potentially cause drug-induced renal failure• The drug may be filtered or secreted into the
lumen of the renal tubules• The concentrated drug exposes the kidney tissue
to far greater drug concentration per surface area
![Page 4: Drugs and The Kidney](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681670b550346895ddb776b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Clinical Presentation
• Drug-induced renal disease can mimic renal disease from other causes, such as autoimmune disease & infection
• A thorough PEx & medical Hx should be performed• Increase in serum Cr & BUN• Additional urine tests: Pr excretion, Cr concentration,
osmolality or Na excretion• A thorough & accurate review of all medications,
including all prescription, over-the-counter & herbal medications
• Importance of dose & duration of exposure• Rule out all other causes of kidney failure

Pseudo Renal Failure• ↑ BUN due to protein catabolism– Steroids, tetracyclines
• ↑ SCr due to competitive inhibition of cr secretion– Trimethoprim, Cimetidine
• Trimethoprim– 15-35% rise SCr fully expressed after 3 days–More sig in pts with pre-existing renal dysfunction– Can occur with normal doses– Completely reversible when drug is discontinued

Mechanisms of nephrotoxin-inducedARF
• Direct nephrotoxicity– Tubuloepithelial injury– ATN (e.g.,aminoglycosides)– Osmotic nephrosis (e.g., hypertonic solutions, IV IG)
• Interstitial nephritis– Acute allergic interstitial nephritis (e.g., penicillins)– Chronic interstitial nephritis (e.g., calcineurin inhibitors)– Papillary necrosis (e.g., NSAIDs)
• Glomerular disease– Glomerulonephritis (e.g., gold, penicillamine, ACE inhibitors)– Renal vasculitis (e.g., hydralazine)
• Obstructive uropathy– Crystalline nephropathy (e.g., acyclovir, indinavir)
• Indirect nephrotoxicity– Decreases intrarenal blood flow (e.g., ACE inhibitors, NSAIDs)

Pre-renal causes• Vasoconstriction–Contrast agents–Amphotericin, noradrenalin,
immunosuppressive agents such as tacrolimus & cyclosporine– Iodinated contrast media, in particular, have
been shown to inhibit the synthesis of nitric oxide in renal artery smooth muscle
![Page 14: Drugs and The Kidney](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681670b550346895ddb776b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

• Incidence– Negligible when renal function is normal (even if diabetic)
– 4 -11% in patients with Cr 1.5 – 4.0 mg/dL
– 50% if Cr > 4.0 mg/dL and in diabetic nephropathy • Diagnosis
– Characteristic rise in plasma Cr following administration of the agent

Nephrotic syndrome
• Abnormal amounts of Pr in the urine• Drugs : NSAIDs, penicillamine & gold,…. • Damage the glomerulus & alter the ability of
the glomerulus to prevent Pr from being filtered
• Stopping the drug may resolve the damage to the glomerulus

NSAIDs/COX II Inhibitors
• Physician would like to switch previous patient from Naproxen to Celecoxib
• Are Cox II inhibitors less likely to cause ARF compared to NSAIDs?
![Page 29: Drugs and The Kidney](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681670b550346895ddb776b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

NSAIDs/COXibs• Use with caution in CKD (grade 3 or greater)• Inhibit renal vasodilatory prostaglandins E2 & I2 – Produced by COX-2
• Reversible reduction in GFR– Higher risk if intravascular volume depletion– Management: D/C drug, use alternate analgesia
• HTN– Edema, sodium and water retention– Mean increase SBP 5 mm Hg
• Hyperkalemia Risk– Blunting of PG-mediated renin release
![Page 31: Drugs and The Kidney](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681670b550346895ddb776b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Osmotic nephrosis
• A morphological pattern with vacuolization & swelling of the renal proximal tubular cells.
• The term refers to a nonspecific histopathologic finding rather than defining a specific entity.
• It has a broad clinical spectrum that includes AKI & CKD in rare cases.
• High doses of mannitol, soucrose-containing IVIg, contrast dye , dextrans & starches are nephrotoxic
• Mechanism: uptake of these large molecules by pinocytosis into the proximal tubule cells.
![Page 32: Drugs and The Kidney](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681670b550346895ddb776b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Post-renal failure• Usually results from a mechanical barrier
to moving urine from the collecting tubules into the bladder • Mechanical obstruction :–Bladder retention (in BPH, Neurogenic
bladder)–Kidney stones–Drugs that precipitate in the kidney (acyclovir,
ganciclovir)
![Page 33: Drugs and The Kidney](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681670b550346895ddb776b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
DRUGS OF ABUSE
• Cocaine & heroin• Cocaine use can cause renal artery
thrombosis (clotting), severe HTN & interstitial nephritis
• Long-term cocaine use can lead to CRF• Tobacco use increase the progression
rate of CKD• Long-term tobacco use also increases the
risk of kidney cancer

• Acyclovir (antiviral agent )• Indinavir (antiretroviral agent, protease
inhibitor)• Methotrexate (antineoplastic agent,
antimetabolite) • Sulfonamide antibiotics• Triamterene

Crystal-Induced ARF
![Page 36: Drugs and The Kidney](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681670b550346895ddb776b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Case • 52 yo male with Type 2 DM• Baseline cr 1.8 mg/dl; BP 145/90• Enalapril 10 mg daily started & 2 weeks
later: BP 135/80• Serum cr 2.2 mg/dl
![Page 37: Drugs and The Kidney](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681670b550346895ddb776b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Optimal Use of ACEI/ARB• Cr ↑ 1.8 to 2.2 mg/dl in 2 wks– Accept 20-30% increase in serum cr within 1-2
months of initiation • In fact, this could be an indication that the drugs are
exerting their desired actions to help preserve renal function • Check serum cr 1-2 wks after initiation, then in 2-4 wks• If > 30% change, decrease ACEI/ARB dose by 50% &
repeat Ser Cr in 4 wks (exclude hypovolemia/NSAIDs, etc)• If > 50% rise in Ser Cr – rule out RAS
• Repeat serum cr in this patient in 1-2 wks to ensure it has stabilized
![Page 38: Drugs and The Kidney](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681670b550346895ddb776b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Case • 82 yo female with osteoarthritis• Admitted to hospital for CAP &
dehydration• Meds: Losartan 100mg daily + Naproxen
250mg BID• Cr 3 mg/dl
![Page 39: Drugs and The Kidney](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681670b550346895ddb776b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Optimal Use of ACEI/ARB
• Cr on admission 3 mg/dl in patient with CAP & dehydration–Discontinue NSAID & hold ARB until
infection treated & patient is rehydrated/cr reduced
• Resume ARB & monitor serum cr
![Page 40: Drugs and The Kidney](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681670b550346895ddb776b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Causes of AKI after Initiation ofTherapy with ACE Inhibitor or ARB
• BP insufficient for adequate renal perfusion– Poor cardiac output– Low systemic vascular resistance (e.g., as in sepsis)– Volume depletion (GI loss, excess diuretic use, …)
• Presence of renal vascular disease*– Bilateral renal artery stenosis– Stenosis of dominant or single kidney– Afferent arteriolar narrowing (caused by HTN, cyclo..)– Diffuse atherosclerosis in smaller renal vessels
• Vasoconstrictor agents (NSAIDs, cyclosporine)
![Page 41: Drugs and The Kidney](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681670b550346895ddb776b/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• Be aware of nephrotoxic potential of specific drugs • Identify patients at risk • Be aware of increased risk in elderly • Asses the benefit/risk ratio for Rx of potentially nephrotoxic drug•Monitor the RFT if necessary
Prevention: General Rules
![Page 42: Drugs and The Kidney](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681670b550346895ddb776b/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• Avoid dehydration• Limit dose & duration of treatment• Adjust the dose based on changes in GFR• Avoid a combination of potentially
nephrotoxic drugs
Prevention: General Rules (Cont’d)
![Page 43: Drugs and The Kidney](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681670b550346895ddb776b/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Conclusion• Many drugs cause AKI • Increase the risk of drug-induced AKI:– Age (particularly over 65 years)– Pre-existing renal impairment– Comorbidities such as DM, HF, liver cirrhosis– Hypovolaemia
• Addressing potential risk factors• Understanding of the mechanisms of
nephrotoxicity involved
