Acute kidney injury in cystic fibrosis patients treated with intravenous colistimethate sodium or tobramycin.
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy 2022 June 10
OBJECTIVES: Colistimethate sodium and tobramycin are important systemic antibiotics for treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) pulmonary exacerbations but can induce acute kidney injury (AKI). We characterize the rate of AKI in CF patients treated with systemic colistimethate sodium compared with tobramycin.
METHODS: This single-centre, retrospective cohort study included hospitalized CF patients treated with IV colistimethate sodium or tobramycin. The primary outcome was AKI defined using the RIFLE criteria. Multivariate logistic regression using a mixed model was performed to identify variables that were independently associated with AKI.
RESULTS: Overall, 156 patients representing 507 care encounters were included. The OR of AKI was not increased with IV colistimethate sodium relative to IV tobramycin after adjusting for other potential predictor variables (aOR 1.00; 95% CI 0.16-6.03). The frequency of AKI was 9.5% across all encounters, 6.9% with IV colistimethate sodium and 9.9% with IV tobramycin, with RIFLE category R (risk) being the most common stage, accounting for 4.2% of encounters with IV colistimethate sodium and 9.2% with IV tobramycin. The concomitant use of another nephrotoxin (aOR 2.51; 95% CI 1.27-4.95) or the combination of vancomycin and piperacillin/tazobactam (aOR 5.95; 95% CI 2.05-17.3) were both associated with increased odds of AKI.
CONCLUSIONS: Systemic treatment with colistimethate sodium or tobramycin in the CF patient population is associated with a similar rate of nephrotoxicity. However, clinicians should be mindful of the increased risk for AKI in patients treated with either IV colistimethate sodium or IV tobramycin when used concurrently with other nephrotoxic agents, particularly the combination of vancomycin and piperacillin/tazobactam.
