Introduction
• The heart pumps approximately 25% of CO
into the kidneys
• Any drug in the blood will eventually reach
the highly vascularized kidneys
• May potentially cause drug-induced renal
failure
• The drug may be filtered or secreted into the
lumen of the renal tubules
• The concentrated drug exposes the kidney
tissue to far greater drug concentration per
surface area
Clinical Presentation
• Drug-induced renal disease can mimic renal disease
from other causes, such as autoimmune disease &
infection
• A thorough PEx & medical Hx should be performed
• Increase in serum Cr & BUN
• Additional urine tests: Pr excretion, Cr
concentration, osmolality or Na excretion
• A thorough & accurate review of all medications,
including all prescription, over-the-counter &
herbal medications
• Importance of dose & duration of exposure
• Rule out all other causes of kidney failure
Pseudo Renal Failure
• ↑ BUN due to protein catabolism
– Steroids, tetracyclines
• ↑ SCr due to competitive inhibition of cr
secretion
– Trimethoprim, Cimetidine
• Trimethoprim
– 15-35% rise SCr fully expressed after 3 days
– More sig in pts with pre-existing renal dysfunction
– Can occur with normal doses
– Completely reversible when drug is discontinued
Mechanisms of nephrotoxin-induced
ARF
• Direct nephrotoxicity
– Tubuloepithelial injury
– ATN (e.g.,aminoglycosides)
– Osmotic nephrosis (e.g., hypertonic solutions, IV IG)
• Interstitial nephritis
– Acute allergic interstitial nephritis (e.g., penicillins)
– Chronic interstitial nephritis (e.g., calcineurin inhibitors)
– Papillary necrosis (e.g., NSAIDs)
• Glomerular disease
– Glomerulonephritis (e.g., gold, penicillamine, ACE inhibitors)
– Renal vasculitis (e.g., hydralazine)
• Obstructive uropathy
– Crystalline nephropathy (e.g., acyclovir, indinavir)
• Indirect nephrotoxicity
– Decreases intrarenal blood flow (e.g., ACE inhibitors, NSAIDs)

Pre-renal causes
• Vasoconstriction
– Contrast agents
– Amphotericin, noradrenalin,
immunosuppressive agents such as
tacrolimus & cyclosporine
– Iodinated contrast media, in particular, have
been shown to inhibit the synthesis of nitric
oxide in renal artery smooth muscle
Radiocontrast Agents
 Ionic vs. Nonionic
 High (1500-1800)
Low (600-850)
Iso-osmolal (~ 290 mOsm/kg))
Radiocontrast Agents
•
Pathogenesis:
– Renal Vasoconstriction
(Adenosine, Endothelin)
– Tubular Injury
Oxidative stress induced damage
Radiocontrast Agents
• Risk Factors:
– Underlying renal disease (Cr >1.5mg/dl)
– Diabetic nephropathy, HF,
Hypovolemia
– Multiple Myeloma
– Dose (lower doses safer but not
necessarily safe)
Radiocontrast Agents
•
Incidence
– Negligible when renal function is normal (even if
diabetic)
– 4 -11% in patients with Cr 1.5 – 4.0 mg/dL
– 50% if Cr > 4.0 mg/dL and in diabetic nephropathy
•
Diagnosis
– Characteristic rise in plasma Cr following
administration of the agent
–
Radiocontrast Agents
Prevention:
– Use of alternative diagnostic
procedures in high risk patients
– Avoidance of volume depletion or
other nephrotoxins
– Low-doses of low- or iso-somolar
agent
– IV saline

• 65 year old male with H/o HTN, ventricular arrythmias
controlled on Amiodarone, OA on NSAIDs. presents with
puffiness on face on waking up. Has bilateral pitting edema.
• U/A: 3+ pr, RBC 3-5/HPF, WBC 15-20/HPF
• 24 h urine pr : 4 g
• BUN: 80 mg/dl , Cr: 5 mg/dl , Serum Albumin : 2.8 g/dl, TSH : Nr
• The most likely Diagnosis?
A) Amiodarone induced hypothyroidism
B) RPGN
C) NSAIDs induced nephrotic syndrom & interstitial nephritis
• The most likely Management & Follow up?
Nephrotic syndrome
• Abnormal amounts of Pr in the urine
• Drugs : NSAIDs, penicillamine & gold,….
• Damage the glomerulus & alter the ability of
the glomerulus to prevent Pr from being
filtered
• Stopping the drug may resolve the damage to
the glomerulus

– Slowly progressive ; Asymptomatic,
sometimes hematuria, flank pain, or urinary
infections.

NSAIDs/COX II Inhibitors
• Physician would like to switch previous
patient from Naproxen to Celecoxib
• Are Cox II inhibitors less likely to cause
ARF compared to NSAIDs?
NSAIDs/COXibs
• Use with caution in CKD (grade 3 or greater)
• Inhibit renal vasodilatory prostaglandins E2 & I2
– Produced by COX-2
• Reversible reduction in GFR
– Higher risk if intravascular volume depletion
– Management: D/C drug, use alternate analgesia
• HTN
– Edema, sodium and water retention
– Mean increase SBP 5 mm Hg
• Hyperkalemia Risk
– Blunting of PG-mediated renin release
Osmotic nephrosis
• A morphological pattern with vacuolization &
swelling of the renal proximal tubular cells.
• The term refers to a nonspecific histopathologic
finding rather than defining a specific entity.
• It has a broad clinical spectrum that includes AKI &
CKD in rare cases.
• High doses of mannitol, soucrose-containing IVIg,
contrast dye , dextrans & starches are nephrotoxic
• Mechanism: uptake of these large molecules by
pinocytosis into the proximal tubule cells.
Post-renal failure
• Usually results from a mechanical barrier
to moving urine from the collecting
tubules into the bladder
• Mechanical obstruction :
– Bladder retention (in BPH, Neurogenic
bladder)
– Kidney stones
– Drugs that precipitate in the kidney
(acyclovir, ganciclovir)
DRUGS OF ABUSE
• Cocaine & heroin
• Cocaine use can cause renal artery
thrombosis (clotting), severe HTN &
interstitial nephritis
• Long-term cocaine use can lead to CRF
• Tobacco use increase the progression
rate of CKD
• Long-term tobacco use also increases the
risk of kidney cancer
Crystal-Induced ARF
• Acyclovir (antiviral agent )
• Indinavir (antiretroviral agent, protease
inhibitor)
• Methotrexate (antineoplastic agent,
antimetabolite)
• Sulfonamide antibiotics
• Triamterene
Crystal-Induced ARF
Sulfonamide crystals
Indinavir sulfate
urinary crystals

Case
• 52 yo male with Type 2 DM
• Baseline cr 1.8 mg/dl; BP 145/90
• Enalapril 10 mg daily started & 2 weeks
later: BP 135/80
• Serum cr 2.2 mg/dl
Optimal Use of ACEI/ARB
• Cr ↑ 1.8 to 2.2 mg/dl in 2 wks
– Accept 20-30% increase in serum cr within 1-2
months of initiation
• In fact, this could be an indication that the drugs are
exerting their desired actions to help preserve renal
function
• Check serum cr 1-2 wks after initiation, then in 2-4 wks
• If > 30% change, decrease ACEI/ARB dose by 50% &
repeat Ser Cr in 4 wks (exclude hypovolemia/NSAIDs, etc)
• If > 50% rise in Ser Cr – rule out RAS
• Repeat serum cr in this patient in 1-2 wks to
ensure it has stabilized
Case
• 82 yo female with osteoarthritis
• Admitted to hospital for CAP &
dehydration
• Meds: Losartan 100mg daily + Naproxen
250mg BID
• Cr 3 mg/dl
Optimal Use of ACEI/ARB
• Cr on admission 3 mg/dl in patient with
CAP & dehydration
– Discontinue NSAID & hold ARB until
infection treated & patient is rehydrated/cr
reduced
• Resume ARB & monitor serum cr
Causes of AKI after Initiation of
Therapy with ACE Inhibitor or ARB
• BP insufficient for adequate renal perfusion
– Poor cardiac output
– Low systemic vascular resistance (e.g., as in sepsis)
– Volume depletion (GI loss, excess diuretic use, …)
• Presence of renal vascular disease*
– Bilateral renal artery stenosis
– Stenosis of dominant or single kidney
– Afferent arteriolar narrowing (caused by HTN, cyclo..)
– Diffuse atherosclerosis in smaller renal vessels
• Vasoconstrictor agents (NSAIDs, cyclosporine)
Prevention: General Rules
• Be aware of nephrotoxic potential of
specific drugs
• Identify patients at risk
• Be aware of increased risk in elderly
• Asses the benefit/risk ratio for Rx of
potentially nephrotoxic drug
• Monitor the RFT if necessary
Prevention: General Rules (Cont’d)
• Avoid dehydration
• Limit dose & duration of treatment
• Adjust the dose based on changes in GFR
• Avoid a combination of potentially
nephrotoxic drugs
Conclusion
• Many drugs cause AKI
• Increase the risk of drug-induced AKI:
– Age (particularly over 65 years)
– Pre-existing renal impairment
– Comorbidities such as DM, HF, liver cirrhosis
– Hypovolaemia
• Addressing potential risk factors
• Understanding of the mechanisms of
nephrotoxicity involved
