Accurately estimating kidney function is essential for the safe administration of renally cleared drugs such as ganciclovir. Current practice recommends adjusting renally eliminated drugs according to the Cockcroft-Gault equation. There are no data on the utility of the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations in ganciclovir dosing. To evaluate which renal function equation best predicts ganciclovir clearance.
The performance of the Cockcroft-Gault equation, isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS)-traceable 4-variable MDRD study (MDRD4-IDMS) equation and CKD-EPI equation in determining ganciclovir clearance were assessed retrospectively in patients treated with ganciclovir from 2004-2015. The MDRD4-IDMS and CKD-EPI equations adjusted to individual body surface area (MDRD4-IDMS·BSA and CKD-EPI·BSA, respectively) were also evaluated. Patients with intravenous ganciclovir peak and trough concentrations in their medical records were included in the study. Ganciclovir clearance was calculated from serum concentrations using a one-compartment model. The five equations were compared based on their predictive ability, the coefficient of determination, through a linear regression analysis. The results were validated in a group of patients.
One hundred patients were included in the final analysis. Seventy-four patients were analysed in the learning group and 26 in the validation group. The coefficient of determination was 0.281 for Cockcroft-Gault, 0.301 for CKD-EPI·BSA, 0.308 for MDRD4-IDMS·BSA, 0.324 for MDRD4-IDMS and 0.360 for CKD-EPI. Subgroup analysis also showed that CKD-EPI is a better predictor of ganciclovir clearance. Analysis of the validation group confirmed these results.
The CKD-EPI equation correlates better with ganciclovir clearance than the Cockcroft-Gault and MDRD4-IDMS equations, even the clinical difference between the equations is scarce.
准确评估肾功能对于安全使用经肾脏清除的药物(如更昔洛韦)至关重要。目前的实践建议根据 Cockcroft-Gault 方程调整经肾脏消除的药物。关于 Modification of Diet in Renal Disease(MDRD)和 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration(CKD-EPI)方程在更昔洛韦剂量中的应用,尚无数据。评估哪种肾功能方程最能预测更昔洛韦清除率。
回顾性评估 2004 年至 2015 年接受更昔洛韦治疗的患者中,Cockcroft-Gault 方程、同位素稀释质谱法(IDMS)-可溯源 4 变量 MDRD 研究(MDRD4-IDMS)方程和 CKD-EPI 方程在确定更昔洛韦清除率方面的性能。还评估了针对个体体表面积调整的 MDRD4-IDMS 方程(MDRD4-IDMS·BSA)和 CKD-EPI 方程(CKD-EPI·BSA)。本研究纳入了病历中有静脉更昔洛韦峰浓度和谷浓度的患者。使用一室模型从血清浓度计算更昔洛韦清除率。通过线性回归分析比较了这 5 种方程的预测能力,即决定系数。在一组患者中验证了结果。
最终分析纳入 100 例患者。74 例患者在学习组中进行分析,26 例患者在验证组中进行分析。Cockcroft-Gault 的决定系数为 0.281,CKD-EPI·BSA 的决定系数为 0.301,MDRD4-IDMS·BSA 的决定系数为 0.308,MDRD4-IDMS 的决定系数为 0.324,CKD-EPI 的决定系数为 0.360。亚组分析还表明,CKD-EPI 是更昔洛韦清除率的更好预测指标。验证组的分析结果证实了这些结果。
与 Cockcroft-Gault 和 MDRD4-IDMS 方程相比,CKD-EPI 方程与更昔洛韦清除率的相关性更好,即使这些方程之间的临床差异很小。
