Augmented renal clearance (ARC) is a pathophysiological phenomenon that can occur in critically ill patients, leading to enhanced renal function. It is defined as a creatinine clearance of >130 mL/min/1.73 m . ARC can lead to subtherapeutic levels of renally cleared drugs and subsequent treatment failure. In COVID-19, it has only been described in the literature in a few cases. We present the case of a 38-year-old critically ill patient with COVID-19 who developed ARC with an initial clearance of 226 mL/min/1.73 m , persisting for 30 days. He required high doses of sedatives and neuromuscular blocking agents, as well as increased doses of vancomycin and dalteparin, to reach adequate serum levels. This case emphasizes the importance for clinicians to consider ARC in the dosing of all renally cleared drugs, including antibiotics, low molecular weight heparins, and sedatives, to prevent subtherapeutic drug levels and treatment failure.
增强的肾清除率(ARC)是一种生理病理现象,可发生于危重症患者,导致肾功能增强。ARC 定义为肌酐清除率>130ml/min/1.73m 。ARC 可导致经肾脏清除的药物血药浓度低于治疗范围,从而导致治疗失败。在 COVID-19 中,仅有少数病例在文献中描述。我们报告了 1 例 38 岁危重症 COVID-19 患者,该患者发生 ARC,初始清除率为 226ml/min/1.73m ,持续 30 天。他需要使用高剂量镇静剂和神经肌肉阻滞剂,以及增加万古霉素和达肝素的剂量,以达到足够的血清水平。该病例强调了临床医生在为所有经肾脏清除的药物(包括抗生素、低分子肝素和镇静剂)给药时考虑 ARC 的重要性,以防止药物血药浓度低于治疗范围和治疗失败。
