Q1:Whatparametershouldbeusedinolder(frail??)patientstoestimatekidneyfunctionfordose

adaptationpurpose?

1.1Werecommend using estimation equations correcting for differences increatinine generation rather than plain serumcreatinine toassess renal function inolder patients (1A)1.2Werecommend there isinsufficient evidence toprefer one estimationequationoveranother asallestimation equations performequally poor andsubstantialmisclassification can occur with allequations inolder patientswith deviatingbodycomposition (1B).1.3Werecommend toactuallymeasure renal function if accurateandpreciseestimation ofGFRisneeded.

DrugDose Adaptation

BMCgeriatrics,2013

Q1:Whatparametershouldbeusedinolderpatientstoestimatekidneyfunctionfordoseadaptationpurpose?

• Advice for clinical practice:• kidney function can vary overtimeandshould be followed repetitively usingthesame equation• estimationequations can not be used inpatientswith acutechanges intheirkidney function• evenwhen usingestablished formulae inthis specific population, differentformulas can result indifferentclassifications• serumlevels ofdrugsdepend upon absoluterather thanbodysize correctedclearance• Allformula other than Cockcroft andGault require additional correction forBSAtoobtain absolutevalues• Fordrugswith anarrowtoxic/therapeutic range,regularmeasurement ofserumconcentrations can provideuseful information.However,differences inprotein bindingbetween uraemicvs nonuraemicpatients occur,which mightnecessitate theuse ofdifferenttargetlevels oftotal drugconcentration.
