Incidence and Predictors of Nephrotoxicity Associated with Intravenous Colistin in Overweight and Obese Patients

Abstract: Intravenous colistin is used to treat resistant Gram-negative infections and is associated with nephrotoxicity. In overweight and obese adults, a paucity of data exists regarding the incidence and predictors of such toxicity. A retrospective nested case-control study was performed over 35 months for patients receiving intravenous colistin for >72 h with a body mass index (BMI) of >25 kg/m 2 . The objective was to investigate the incidence and predictors of nephrotoxicity. Severity of acute kidney injury was de… Show more

“…To our knowledge, this is the first study to compare and validate the performances of various models for predicting the risk of colistin-associated nephrotoxicity. In our study, the independent risk factors for nephrotoxicity included age, duration of therapy, and daily dose by ideal body weight (IBW), which are consistent with other models (6,(9)(10)(11)(12). Interestingly, we also found cystic fibrosis to be protective against the development of nephrotoxicity.…”

“…In more recent years, studies have used the risk, injury, failure, loss, and end-stage renal disease (RIFLE) criteria as a standardized definition for acute kidney injury (8). The rates of colistin-associated nephrotoxicity in these studies are more consistent, with a range between 31% and 48% (5,6,(9)(10)(11)(12). However, the reported risk factors associated with nephrotoxicity vary considerably in these studies.…”

“…In a series of 30 patients, nephrotoxicity was detected in 50% of the patients with concomitant vancomycin and only in 30% of patients without this antibiotic, although the difference was not statistically significant [29]. Obesity or the use of intravenous contrast has been associated with the development of renal dysfunction in patients treated with colistin intravenously [30,31]. In our series, rates of obese patients or the administration of intravenous contrast were not different in patients with colistin alone compared with those who received combined therapy.…”

“…The development of AKI during polymyxin therapy has been associated with an even worse prognosis for patients with XDR-GNB infections (2,(10)(11)(12). Therefore, it is important to determine whether different polymyxins have different nephrotoxicity profiles in the clinical context.…”
