Comparison of Vancomycin Clearance Between Augmented Renal Clearance and Normal Renal Function in Critically Ill Infants: A Population Pharmacokinetics Study

Guang-Ming Huang et al.

Summary: Augmented renal clearance, characterized by enhanced renal perfusion and glomerular hyperfiltration, is common in critically ill infants. This study compared vancomycin clearance between infants with augmented renal clearance and those with normal renal function, and provided optimized dosing recommendations. Infants with augmented renal clearance had significantly higher clearance rates than those with normal renal function, indicating the need for higher vancomycin doses.

Ensuring Sufficient Trough Plasma Concentrations for Broad-Spectrum Beta-Lactam Antibiotics in Children With Malignancies: Beware of Augmented Renal Clearance!

Pascal Andre et al.

Summary: In children with malignancies, intermittent administration of meropenem and piperacillin often leads to insufficient concentration exposure, even at maximal recommended daily dosage. This failure can be attributed in part to augmented renal clearance (ARC). Thorough assessment of renal function, resolute dosage adjustment, continuous infusion whenever possible, and systematic therapeutic drug monitoring are recommended in order to address this issue.

Population Pharmacokinetics of Intravenous Acyclovir in Oncologic Pediatric Patients

Natalia Maximova et al.

Summary: This study investigated the population pharmacokinetics of intravenous acyclovir in oncologic children. The results showed that body weight and renal function had significant effects on the clearance and distribution of the drug. Standard dosing regimens may be ineffective in some patients, while prolonged or continuous intravenous infusions increased the probability of achieving effective concentrations and reduced the risk of toxicity.

Glomerular filtration rate in critically ill neonates and children: creatinine-based estimations versus iohexol-based measurements

Nori J. L. Smeets et al.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the prevalence of AKI and ARC in critically ill children using iohexol-based mGFR and SCr-based eGFR methods, and investigate the performance of different SCr-based eGFR methods. The results showed that AKI prevalence was higher and ARC prevalence was lower when using mGFR, and age- and sex-dependent equations had the highest accuracy for diagnosing AKI and ARC.

Risk factors associated with augmented renal clearance in a mixed intensive care unit population: a retrospective study

Emily Bing et al.

Summary: Age below 50 years, lower serum creatinine upon intensive care admission, and trauma were identified as independent risk factors for augmented renal clearance in critically ill patients. The model had acceptable discrimination in predicting augmented renal clearance.

Safety of Quinolones in Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Siyu Li et al.

Summary: This study assessed the risk of using quinolones in children and provided evidence for clinicians to support decision making. The overall incidence rate of adverse drug events in children using systemic quinolones was 5.39% with gastrointestinal reactions being the most common. Musculoskeletal adverse drug events in children using quinolones were uncommon.

Cefepime population pharmacokinetics and dosing regimen optimization in critically ill children with different renal function

Noemie de Cacqueray et al.

Summary: The study aimed to build a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model for cefepime in critically ill children and optimize individual initial dosing regimens. The results showed that body weight and estimated glomerular filtration rate were associated with drug clearance. According to the simulations, continuous intravenous infusion of cefepime was more likely to achieve the PK target in patients with renal failure, while intermittent intravenous infusion was adequate for patients with normal or augmented renal clearance. Close therapeutic drug monitoring is necessary for cefepime treatment.

Continuous infusion of piperacillin-tazobactam significantly improves target attainment in children with cancer and fever

Sabine F. Maarbjerg et al.

Summary: This study evaluated piperacillin pharmacokinetics and probability of target attainment with continuous infusion in children with febrile neutropenia, finding that continuous infusion was the only dosing regimen to achieve optimal target attainment for P. aeruginosa breakpoint, highlighting its potential advantages over conventional intermittent administration and extended infusion regimens.

E. Salvador et al.

Summary: The study aimed to establish a population PK model for cefazolin in critically ill children for optimal dosing regimens. Results indicated that continuous infusion of cefazolin was the best scheme to achieve the PK target of 100% fT (>4 x MIC), especially for children with normal or augmented renal function.

Unraveling the Contribution of Fluid Therapy to the Development of Augmented Renal Clearance in a Piglet Model

Laura Dhondt et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of continuous intravenous fluid administration on renal function and pharmacokinetics of renally excreted drugs using a piglet animal model. The findings suggest that fluid administration can increase the clearance of certain renally excreted drugs, leading to decreased systemic exposure. Further research is needed to confirm these results in children.

Population pharmacokinetics of vancomycin in paediatric patients with febrile neutropenia and augmented renal clearance: development of new dosing recommendations

Yuko Shimamoto et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of augmented renal clearance (ARC) on vancomycin clearance in paediatric patients with febrile neutropenia following HSCT. It was found that children aged 6 months to 6 years with ARC may require an initial vancomycin dose up to 35%-65% higher than current dosing guidelines to achieve optimal target attainment.

Scoping review of augmented renal clearance in critically ill pediatric patients

Denise H. Rhoney et al.

Summary: This scoping review summarized the evidence on Augmented Renal Clearance (ARC) in pediatric patients, revealing a variable prevalence of ARC in this population likely due to the lack of a standard definition and age-related factors not being consistently considered in studies. ARC was shown to impact the pharmacokinetics of antibiotics commonly used in pediatric patients, potentially requiring adjustments to standard dosing regimens.
