Foreword
Dialysis of Drugs has been a popular clinical tool for nearly two decades. This resource is used around the world by nurses, pharmacists, physicians and other professionals caring for dialysis patients. Since writing the rst edition, my goal has been to provide the busy clinician the best available answer to the common question of whether a medication is removed from the blood by dialysis and whether a replacement dose may be required following dialysis. This information enhances the safe and effective use of medications in a complex and therapeutically challenging patient. With great pleasure, I now transfer responsibility for the future publication of Dialysis of Drugs to two long-time colleagues, George Bailie and Nancy Mason. Dr. Bailie and Dr. Mason are very experienced nephrology pharmacists who will continue to meet the informational needs of dialysis professionals regarding drug dialyzability. Knowing their skill and knowledge of pharmacotherapy in dialysis patients, I am condent that Dialysis of Drugs will continue to be a valuable resource in the future. Curtis A. Johnson, PharmD December 2010 Editorial note: As this booklet went to print in early 2011, Curt Johnson lost his valiant battle with cancer. We will remember Curt as the ultimate professional and friend, and we will miss him. This issue of Dialysis of Drugs is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Curt Johnson.

I FOREWORD

2011 Dialysis of Drugs

Preface
Drug removal during dialysis is frequently of interest to those caring for patients receiving hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. The extent of drug dialyzability determines whether supplemental dosing is necessary during or following dialysis. The accompanying table is a reference regarding the effect of either form of dialysis on drug clearance. This table should be used as a general guideline. The drugs included in the table are parent drugs. In some cases, these drugs are converted to pharmacologically active or toxic metabolites for which little dialysis information is known. Therefore, for a few drugs, a primary metabolite is also included in the table. When available, serum drug measurements may be appropriate for dosing individual patients. In all cases, patients should be monitored for clinical efcacy and toxicity.

What Determines Drug Dialyzability?


The extent to which a drug is affected by dialysis is determined primarily by several physicochemical characteristics of the drug that are briey described in the text that follows. These include molecular size, protein binding, volume of distribution, water solubility, and plasma clearance. In addition to these properties of the drug, technical aspects of the dialysis procedure also may determine the extent to which a drug is removed by dialysis.

Molecular Weight
Dialysis is dependent upon the use of a dialytic membrane: either a synthetic membrane with xed pore size, as in hemodialysis, or a naturally occurring peritoneal membrane, as in peritoneal dialysis. The movement of drugs or other solutes is largely determined by the size of these molecules in relation to the pore size of the membrane. As a general rule, smaller molecular weight substances will pass through the membrane more easily than larger molecular weight substances. A common assumption is that pore size of the peritoneal membrane is somewhat larger than that of the hemodialysis membrane. This would explain the observation that larger molecular weight substances appear to cross the peritoneal membrane to a greater extent than the hemodialysis membrane.

I PREFACE

Protein Binding
Another important factor determining drug dialyzability is the concentration gradient of unbound (free) drug across the dialysis membrane. Drugs with a high degree of protein binding will have a low plasma concentration of unbound drug available for dialysis. Uremia may have an effect on protein binding for some drugs. Through mechanisms not completely understood, protein binding may decrease in uremic serum. Should this change in binding be substantial, increased dialyzability of free drug may occur.

2011 Dialysis of Drugs

Because the primary binding proteins for most drugs (albumin, 1-acid glycoprotein) are of large molecular size, the drug-protein complex is often unable to cross the dialysis membrane, especially the hemodialysis membrane. Since the peritoneal membrane does permit the passage of some proteins, there may be some limited drug-protein removal with peritoneal dialysis. Increased protein concentrations often occur in peritoneal efuent during episodes of peritonitis.

Volume of Distribution
A drug with a large volume of distribution is distributed widely throughout tissues and is present in relatively small amounts in the blood. Factors that contribute to a large volume of distribution include a high degree of lipid solubility and low plasma protein binding. Drugs with a large volume of distribution are likely to be dialyzed minimally.

Water Solubility
The dialysate used for either hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis is an aqueous solution. In general, drugs with high water solubility will be dialyzed to a greater extent than those with high lipid solubility. Highly lipid-soluble drugs tend to be distributed throughout tissues, and therefore only a small fraction of the drug is present in plasma and accessible for dialysis.

Plasma Clearance
The inherent metabolic clearancethe sum of renal and nonrenal clearanceis often termed

the plasma clearance of a drug. In dialysis patients, renal clearance is largely replaced by dialysis clearance. If nonrenal clearance is large compared to renal clearance, the contribution of dialysis to total drug removal is low. However, if renal (dialysis) clearance increases plasma clearance by 30% or more, dialysis clearance is considered to be clinically important.

I PREFACE

Dialysis Membrane
As mentioned previously, the characteristics of the dialysis membrane determine to a large extent the dialysis of drugs. Pore size, surface area, and geometry are the primary determinants of the performance of a given membrane. The technology of hemodialysis has evolved, and new membranes have been introduced for clinical use. Interpretation of published literature should be tempered with the understanding that newer hemodialysis membranes may have different drug dialysis characteristics. Little can be done to alter the characteristics of the peritoneal membrane.

Blood and Dialysate Flow Rates


The hemodialysis prescription includes the desired blood and dialysate ow rates. As drugs normally move from blood to dialysate, the ow rates of these two substances may have a pronounced effect on dialyzability. In general, increased blood ow rates during hemodialysis will deliver greater amounts of drug to the dialysis membrane. As the drug concentration increases in the dialysate, the ow rate of the dialysis solution also becomes important in

overall drug removal. Greater dialysis can be achieved with faster dialysate ow rates that keep the dialysate drug concentration at a minimum. During peritoneal dialysis, little can be done to alter blood ow rates to the peritoneum. However, dialysate ow rates are determined by the volume and frequency of dialysate exchange in the peritoneum. At low exchange rates, drug concentrations in the dialysate will increase during the time in which the dialysate resides in the peritoneum, thus slowing additional movement of drug across the membrane. More frequent exchanges will favor increased drug dialyzability, provided the drugs physicochemical characteristics permit its movement across the peritoneal membrane.

Special Considerations
HIGH PERMEABILITY DIALYSIS Much of the information contained in this guide has been obtained from studies conducted under conditions of standard hemodialysis that employed conventional dialysis membranes. Changes in dialysis technology have led to more permeable dialysis membranes and the opportunity to employ higher blood and dialysate ow rates. These technologies are often referred to as high permeability, highefciency, and high-ux dialysis. The United States Food and Drug Administration has classied high permeability dialysis membranes as those whose in vitro ultraltration coefcient (KUf) is greater than 8 mL/hour/mm Hg.
8 SEE DISCLAIMER REGARDING USE OF THIS GUIDE

Commonly included in this group of dialysis membranes are polysulfone, polyacrylonitrile, and high-efciency cuprammonium rayon dialyzers. Changes in dialysis membranes and changes in blood and dialysis ow rates may have clinically important effects on drug removal through the membrane. There are an increasing number of studies that examine the effects of high permeability dialysis on drug dialyzability. Results of these studies conrm predictions that drug removal from plasma is often enhanced as compared with more traditional dialysis membranes. Studies with high permeability dialysis also demonstrate that removal of drug from plasma often exceeds the transfer of drug from tissues to plasma. As a result, a rebound of plasma drug concentrations following the conclusion of dialysis may occur as blood-tissue drug equilibration occurs. Patients receiving high permeability dialysis may require more drug compared with those receiving standard hemodialysis. Due to the many technical and physiological variables, individualized therapeutic drug monitoring may be necessary. The reader is referred to the primary literature for further details. CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY Another therapeutic development that will affect drug dialyzability is continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). These techniques are largely used in the management of acute renal failure in critically ill patients. As compared to intermittent conventional dialysis

(ICD), continuous therapies provide better hemodynamic stability as well as superior volume, electrolyte and acid-base status. Drug transport in CRRT is provided by diffusion and/or convection. With diffusion, a drug moves from blood to countercurrent dialysate through a concentration gradient across a semi-permeable membrane. In convection, there is removal of solvent containing the drug (ultraltrate) via positive hydrostatic pressure. Continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD) is the major diffusive technique, while continuous venovenous hemoltration (CVVH) or slow continuous ultraltration (SCUF) are convection-based. Continuous venovenous hemodialtration (CVVHDF) has the advantage of combining both principles. Veno-venous procedures have largely replaced arterio-venous procedures by providing higher ultraltration (UF) rates with decreased complications. As for ICD, many factors contribute to drug clearance in CRRT. Efuent ow: Efuent ow rate is determined by the sum of both ultraltration (UF) and dialysate ow rates, depending on the type of CRRT used. Dialysis usually favors clearance of small solutes (urea, lithium) whereas larger drugs, like vancomycin, are better removed by convection. In standard CRRT, maximal drug clearance is limited by the efuent rate (usually varying between 10-75 mL/min). At high rates, drug requirements can even exceed the usual dosage administered to patients with intact renal function, as with uconazole.
10 SEE DISCLAIMER REGARDING USE OF THIS GUIDE

Post-dilution vs pre-dilution: If hemoltration is performed in post-dilution, the replacement uid is administered distal to the lter whereas it is administered before the lter in predilution. Pre-dilution reduces solute clearance by approximately 10-20% (usually affecting larger molecules to a greater extent) but is not restricted by high-level hematocrit in the lter and can therefore be used for high UF. Newer machines can incorporate both functions, rendering drug clearance estimation more complex. Blood ow: As opposed to ICD, blood ow has little impact on drug clearance in CRRT. There is no signicant increase in urea clearance when blood ow is increased from 100 mL/min to 250 mL/min. However, blood-ow dependent clearance may be observed at high efuent ow rates. Filters: Filters have various physical characteristics that provide different advantages when compared to one another. In general, newer hemolters have larger surface areas and higher convective permeability. Adsorption of certain drugs, like aminoglycosides and levooxacin, may occur with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membranes while other drug-membrane interactions, such as the charge of the lter material, will also further inuence clearance. Finally, hemolter drug permeability is at its highest right after installation; as the lter ages, clotting and blood components coating the lters surface reduce solute removal. These factors are difcult to quantify and predict clinically.

I SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

2011 Dialysis of Drugs

Drug molecular weight: Although molecular weight is an important limiting determinant of drug dialyzability in ICD, it becomes less signicant during CRRT because of the use of high-ux hemolters and the added effect of convection that permit passage of larger molecules up to 50,000 Da. Protein binding: Drugs that are highly bound to plasma proteins are not subject to signicant removal during CRRT because the drug-protein complex surpasses pore size of the lter. Hyperbilirubinemia, hypoalbuminemia, renal failure and blood pH (all common variables in intensive care patients) can affect the fraction of unbound drug which will further change the likelihood of drug removal. The unbound fraction of drug is often correlated with the sieving coefcient, dened as the ratio of drug concentration in the ultraltrate to the pre-lter plasma water concentration of the drug. Volume of distribution: As is true with ICD, drugs with a large volume of distribution (Vd) are unlikely to be removed to a great extent during CRRT. Drugs with an elevated Vd are essentially conned outside the plasma compartment and hence little of total body stores will be eliminated during CRRT, even if reported drug plasma clearance and extraction are signicant. However, since CRRT is a slower process than ICD, once drug is removed from the vascular component, there is more time for transfer of drug from tissues. This reequilibration process provides a continuous drug pool that can be readily cleared by CRRT.
12 SEE DISCLAIMER REGARDING USE OF THIS GUIDE

Competing elimination pathways: Extracorporeal clearance of any drug must be weighed against its endogenous clearance in order to predict efciency of CRRT removal. If a drug has a high hepatic clearance (in excess of 150 mL/ min), it is unnecessary to adjust dose for CRRT. Similarly, if residual renal function is signicant (not unusual on initiation of CRRT) it becomes important, albeit difcult, to factor its effect on total clearance. Unfortunately, few in vivo studies have been published regarding drug removal in CRRT and even fewer were done using newer membranes and higher UF rates (up to 75 mL/min) as advocated by recent survival studies. Although hourly drug removal is generally signicantly lower than ICD, hence less attractive for overdose situations, weekly drug extraction in CRRT can be up to 5 times greater than ICD. Only the maintenance dose needs to be adjusted in CRRT (the drug loading dose mainly depends on the Vd and usually doesnt require modication). Considering all the numerous factors inuencing pharmacokinetics in CRRT, drug dosing in the intensive care setting is very unpredictable but can be roughly estimated by the following methods, all of which have unavoidable shortcomings: A) Mathematical estimation of drug clearance While several complex formulas do exist in the literature, they are handicapped by unstable parameters (blood ow and sieving coefcient are rarely constant during treatment). The following simpler equation offers an acceptable estimation of the required dose:

B) Available data retrieved from case reports or, preferably, prospective studies Unfortunately, available data are sparse and are not always readily applicable in intensive care patients with extreme characteristics and comorbidities (hepatic failure, shock, sepsis, etc.). Furthermore, technical equipment and prescription parameters have greatly evolved in the last years, making older reports unusable for dosing estimations. C) The total creatinine clearance method Total creatinine clearance during CRRT can be measured as the sum of creatinine clearances from both CRRT and residual renal function. This total can then be correlated with drug dosing tables for patients with impaired renal function. Unfortunately, this method is not applicable for drugs that undergo tubular reabsorption or secretion (as with penicillin antibiotics, for example). Whatever the method chosen, it is advisable, when available, to monitor plasma levels of drugs with a low therapeutic index to guide prescriptions.

Standardized tables for ICD should never be used to estimate CRRT clearance because of the notable differences between both procedures. This practice could ultimately lead, for example, to antibiotic failure in the septic patient. The following table is a summary of commonly used drugs in the CRRT setting, with respect to protein binding, volume of distribution, endogenous non-renal clearance and fractional clearance of extracorporeal therapy (CRRT clearance divided by total clearance). Little data exists with higher replacement therapies (in excess of 50 mL/min). If efuent rate is 25 mL/ min, CRRT clearance can be estimated by: Equation 2) ClCRRT=FREC25*Clanuric/(1-FREC25)

PLASMAPHERESIS Plasmapheresis is another special consideration in which drug removal from plasma may be of concern. This technique is used for the treatment of certain immunologic, infectious, and metabolic diseases, as well as for the removal of toxins that cannot be removed by hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Plasmapheresis removes plasma from the patient with replacement by crystalloid or colloid solutions. Solutes such as drug molecules that are present in the plasma may be removed from the patient. Unfortunately, little is known about the specic pharmacokinetic effects of plasmapheresis. The procedure may

be most likely to remove substances that are lipophilic, that are highly protein-bound, and that have a small volume of distribution. The reader is referred to reference 4. SUMMARY Drug dialyzability is determined by a complex interaction of many factors, including the characteristics of the drug and the technical aspects of the dialysis system. Published studies on drug dialyzability should specify the conditions that pertain during dialysis. Results from these studies should be applied with caution to other dialysis conditions.

About This Guide


These guidelines are designed to provide extensive, easy-to-read information regarding the dialyzability of drugs. Numerous literature sources have been used in preparing the guidelines. For many drugs, including newlyapproved medications, investigational agents and medications available in other countries, no studies have been done to determine the effect of dialysis on drug removal. In some cases, the available data may conict. Conditions of dialysis used in published studies may not necessarily reect current dialysis procedures and technology. Variations in the duration of dialysis, ow rates, dialysis membranes, and whether peritoneal dialysis is continuous or intermittent will all affect drug removal. This educational review will distinguish between conventional hemodialysis and high permeability (often called high20 SEE DISCLAIMER REGARDING USE OF THIS GUIDE

ux) hemodialysis where such data are available. However, the review does not contain information on drug dialyzability with CRRT (See Special Considerations) or with plasmapheresis. For additional information on specic drugs, the reader should consult the primary literature. A designation of Yes in the Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis columns indicates that dialysis enhances plasma clearance by 30% or more. Supplemental dosing may be required or dosing after dialysis should be considered. No indicates that dialysis does not have a clinically important effect on plasma clearance. Supplemental dosing is usually not required. As a general principle, usual methods of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) provide relatively low drug clearances during any given dialysate exchange. However, cumulative drug removal may require dosage supplementation at appropriate intervals. Relatively little research has examined peritoneal drug clearance in PD techniques that utilize automated systems employing large volumes of short dwells at night, often accompanied by one or more longer daytime dwells (APD). Similarly, little data exists on the effects of tidal peritoneal dialysis on drug clearance. A few studies have conrmed that clearance of some drugs is increased by APD due to the increased drug concentration gradient between blood and dialysate. Increased drug dialyzability may occur with increased peritoneal dialysate ow rates or in the presence of peritonitis.

A designation of U indicates that no dialysis studies have been published, or that there is very limited information (such as case reports), but that the authors of this guide have concluded that signicant drug removal during dialysis is unlikely based upon the physicochemical characteristics of the drug, which are primarily a high degree of protein binding, a large molecular weight, or a large volume of distribution. A designation of L indicates that no published data exist on the removal of the drug during high permeability dialysis or that there is very limited information (such as case reports). However, the authors have extrapolated data from studies using conventional dialysis to conclude that signicant drug removal is likely to occur during high permeability dialysis. A designation of ND indicates that no (or very limited) data are available on drug dialyzability. In some cases, the literature reports the use of a high permeability, or high-ux, dialysis membrane, however the type of membrane is not specied.

Extracorporeal Therapies for Treatment of Drug Overdose


Drug elimination by extracorporeal therapies (ECT) is an area of growing interest in acute overdose. Use of these techniques may provide excellent drug clearance as compared to endogenous clearance, even in patients with intact kidney function. Although ECT can readily remove the agent responsible for toxicity, there still a lack of solid data showing improved outcomes of ECT over regular supportive measures (such as hydration and gut decontamination). Benets of ECT should be weighed against potential risks of the procedure, pharmacokinetics of the drug, time to initiate therapy, and valuable alternatives to ECT. Absolute prerequisite indications to ECT are the following: The drug must be toxic The drug must have properties amenable to ECT removal (e.g. low protein binding) The overdose must be severe as suggested by serum biochemistry (toxic serum concentrations), exposure (dose ingested) or clinical status (coma, cardiovascular compromise or hypoventilation). Furthermore, ECT can also be considered if the patients condition deteriorates despite maximal supportive therapy, if there is no alternative effective treatment (antidotes), or if the patient has inadequate endogenous elimination mechanisms (hepatic or renal failure).

Drug elimination by ECT is dependent upon several parameters (described starting on page 3), with some notable differences in poisoning situations: Drugs with a high Vd are usually not cleared signicantly by ECT but, in acute overdose, recently absorbed drug may not be fully distributed in tissues, hence mostly conned to plasma i.e. the actual Vd is lower than expected. Furthermore, although high protein binding usually limits extracorporeal removal, in overdose, high drug concentration can saturate binding sites, permitting clearance of unbound drug by hemodialysis or other techniques. Hemodialysis is by far the most widely available ECT modality and can be organized quickly by the physician while entailing few risks. In addition to drug removal, hemodialysis has the added advantage of correcting associated metabolic abnormalities (acid-base and electrolytes), which are common in drug overdose. Generally, high-ux dialyzers are preferred in cases of poisonings because they can improve clearances of some toxins better than standard dialysis membranes. Veno-venous access is usually provided by dual-lumen catheters inserted in the internal jugular, subclavicular or femoral vein. The former two sites require X-ray conrmation of the catheter placement (hence delay), while use of the latter is associated with higher blood recirculation (loss of efciency). Dialysate and blood ow rates should be maximized whenever possible. Volume removal

(or ultraltration) is rarely necessary because poisoned patients are generally hypovolemic and subject to hypotension, unless there is pulmonary edema or oliguric renal failure. Since intoxicated patients have different metabolic parameters compared to chronic kidney disease patients, notably hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, and acidosis, the dialysate bath must be prescribed with care. In methanol overdoses, it is even possible to add ethanol to the dialysate. The extracorporeal circuit is fully anticoagulated in order to maximize efciency unless the patient is at major risk for bleeding. In such a case, tight heparinization or saline ushes are practical alternatives. Duration of the dialysis session will depend on desired clinical or biochemical surrogates, but is at least 4-6 hours in most cases. Drugs that have a large Vd can be redistributed after hemodialysis, producing a rebound effect, often requiring another session for further removal. Hemoltration uses convection compared to diffusion for hemodialysis. This technique is usually provided as a continuous veno-venous procedure, and has the particular advantage of removing larger molecules (up to 50,000 Da) and offering continuous drug removal while being better tolerated than conventional dialysis. The continuous nature of hemoltration reduces the likelihood of drug rebound. Unfortunately, hourly clearance is signicantly inferior to high-ux dialysis. Therefore, hemoltration is usually reserved for use in

situations when hemodialysis is contraindicated or unavailable. Hemoperfusion, a process by which drugs are adsorbed through a charcoal membrane, offers excellent drug clearance, especially for protein bound toxins. Unfortunately, hemoperfusion is seldom available, entails more complications (thrombocytopenia), is more costly and necessitates regular replacement of the charcoal cartridges. There is also anecdotal evidence supporting the use of plasmapheresis or molecular absorbent recirculating systems for acute overdose, but these methods are costly and have yet to show marked improvement over conventional hemodialysis. Peritoneal dialysis does not provide sufcient drug clearances to be considered for poisoning situations. Drugs or other substances for which ECT can be life-saving in intoxications include ethylene glycol, isopropranol, lithium, methanol, salicylates, valproic acid and theophylline. Drugs or other toxins for which ECT may be considered include aminoglycosides, carbamazepine, chloral hydrate, heavy metals (in association with chelation therapy), metformin, methotrexate, paraquat, phenobarbital, phenytoin, and vancomycin.
