Condition(s) targeted: Critically Ill; Acute Renal Failure; Acute Kidney Injury

Status: Recruiting

Sponsored by: Oslo University Hospital

Summary

The main purpose of the study is to examine if changes in pharmacokinetics of important antiinfectives in Critically Ill patients in need of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), causes inadequate concentrations in plasma. The effect of different modus of CRRT: CVVH and CVVHD will be compared, as well as type of filter, filter lifetime etc.

Hypothesis: The risk of incorrect dosage of antiinfectives - to low/ to high- is increased

in critically ill patients receiving CRRT. Inadequate plasma concentrations of antiinfectives may contribute to increased mortality in this group.

Clinical Details

Official title: Pharmacokinetics of Anti-infectives /Antibiotics in Critically Ill Patients in Need of Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) or Without CRRT

Study design: Observational Model: Cohort, Time Perspective: Prospective

Primary outcome: Sub-therapeutic levels of measured antiinfectiva

Secondary outcome:

SOFA-score

Mortality

Detailed description: The main purpose of the study is to examine if changes in pharmacokinetics of important antiinfectives in Critically Ill patients in need of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), causes inadequate concentrations in plasma. The effect of different modus of CRRT: CVVH and CVVHD will be compared, as well as type of filter, filter lifetime etc.

Hypothesis: The risk of incorrect dosage of antiinfectives - to low/ to high- is increased

in critically ill patients receiving CRRT. Inadequate plasma concentrations of antiinfectives may contribute to increased mortality in this group. The antiinfectives to be examined are meropenem, fluconazol, cefotaxim, ciprofloxacin, tazobactam-piperacillin, vancomycin,penicillin,cloxacillin. Endpoints: 1. Measured plasma concentrations of antiinfectives are sufficient for maximal microbial killing. 2. To identify the most important variability factors for plasma concentrations of antiinfectives in patients receiving CRRT 3. Establish and validate a routine for measurement of vital antiinfectives.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients admitted to ICU in need of antiinfectives: 1. in need of CRRT 2. without acute kidney failure 2. requirement for antiinfectives> 72 hrs 3. Age > 18 yrs 4. signed informed consent Exclusion Criteria: 1. Acute or chronic renal failure not in need of CRRT 2. Age < 18 yrs
