Atención farmacéutica en pacientes ingresados con insuficiencia renal / Pharmaceutical care in renal insufficiency inpatients

Objetivos: Valorar los resultados de un programa de ajuste posológico en pacientes hospitalizados con enfermedad renal, describir los medicamentos mayoritariamente implicados y determinar el grado de aceptación de la intervención farmacéutica realizada. Método: Estudio prospectivo, de intervención no aleatorizada, de 15 meses de duración en pacientes hospitalizados con función renal alterada (Creatinina sérica > 1,4 mg/dL) y en tratamiento con medicamentos que precisan ajuste en insuficiencia renal. La variable principal fue el porcentaje de adecuación posológica según la tasa de filtrado glomerular. También se evaluó la aceptación global por servicio clínico, el grupo farmacoterapéutico más prescrito de forma inadecuada, las monitorizaciones farmacocinéticas que se derivaron de la intervención y el carácter educativo de la misma. Resultados: Se identificaron un total de 384 pacientes de los que 341 presentaban un aclaramiento de creatinina entre 10-50 ml/min. Se revisaron 2.807 medicamentos prescritos, de éstos, 2.052 no requerían ajuste posológico en insuficiencia renal y 508 estaban correctamente ajustados. 247 prescripciones eran susceptibles de un ajuste posológico de las cuales 164 prescripciones era necesario un ajuste posológico concreto. Se realizaron recomendaciones posológicas en 200 ocasiones, y se aceptaron un total de 131. Los fármacos con mayor número de intervenciones fueron la enoxaparina, levofloxacino, amoxicilina-clavulánico y digoxina. Conclusiones: La implantación del programa de atención farmacéutica ha tenido una buena aceptación entre los facultativos prescriptores, siendo los antibióticos el grupo farmacológico más susceptible de realizar un ajuste posológico sobre una mayoría de pacientes con insuficiencia renal moderada (AU)

Background and objective: To asses the outcomes of posological adjust program in renal impairment inpatients, describe the drugs more usually involved, and determine the degree of acceptance of the pharmaceutical intervention made. Material and method: A fifteen months-prospective study, in renal insufficiency inpatients (serum creatinine > 1,4 mg/dL) treated with drugs that needs posological adjustment. The primary outcome was the ratio of adequate dosage of the treatment, according with the glomerular filtration rate. We also evaluated the global acceptation rate, the drugs inadequate prescribed more frequently, phamacokinetic analysis derived from the pharmaceutical intervention and its educative character. Results: 384 patients were identified, and 341 of them presented a glomerular filtration rate between 10-50 ml/min. 2.807 prescribed drugs were reviewed, and 2.052 of them didn’t require posological adjustment in renal insufficiency, 508 prescribed drugs were correctly adjusted. 247 pres - criptions were susceptible of posological adjustment and 164 of them, needed a concrete posological adjustment. We performed 200 posological recommendations, and 131 were accepted. The drugs with a higher number of interventions were enoxaparine, levofloxacin, amoxicillin-clavulanic and digoxin. Conclusions: The implementation of the pharmaceutical care program was accepted between physicians, being antibiotics the group more susceptible of doing a posological adjustment in most patients with renal impairment (AU)
