Effect of Kidney Function on Drug Kinetics and Dosing in Neonates, Infants, and Children

Abstract: Neonates, infants, and children differ from adults in many aspects, not just in age, weight, and body composition. Growth, maturation and environmental factors affect drug kinetics, response and dosing in pediatric patients. Almost 80 % of drugs have not been studied in children, and dosing of these drugs is derived from adult doses by adjusting for body weight/size. As developmental and maturational changes are complex processes, such simplified methods may result in subtherapeutic effects or adverse events. … Show more

“…Little pharmacokinetic information is available for children younger than 5 years of age. Because renal function reaches the adult level by 2 years of age [51], lenalidomide clearance in children ≥2 years of age is not anticipated to be highly different from that in adults.…”

“…It is well known that the neonatal kidney function is impaired compared with adults due to immature glomerular filtration and tubular function and reduced kidney perfusion pressure [16]. Moreover, mitochondrial diseases are associated with renal functional impairment, despite normal serum creatinine levels [17].…”

“…Studies reported to-date using PBPK models have mostly been limited to investigating impact of changes in GFR and plasma protein binding in renally impaired patients on the CL R (39,40,62). However, CL R may reduce linearly with GFR for many drugs, even when secretion or reabsorption contributes, in accordance with the intact nephron hypothesis (63,64).…”
