In the critical care setting, augmented renal clearance (ARC) is increasingly recognized as one of the leading causes of subtherapeutic antibiotic exposure [1]. However, commonly used formulas for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are inaccurate in patients with ARC and the 24-h urinary creatinine clearance (CrCL) remains the best available approach for optimizing empirical antimicrobial therapy [2]. On the other hand, no study has evaluated the clinical and prognostic value of the kinetic estimated GFR (KeGFR) in this context. We thus aimed to determine whether KeGFR could be a reliable alternative to measured CrCL in critically ill patients needing early initiation of an appropriate piperacillin dosing regimen.
For this purpose, we retrospectively analyzed 60 consecutive patients who underwent 24-h urinary CrCL measurements and therapeutic drug monitoring during the first 3 days of antimicrobial therapy of piperacillin administered 16 g/day continuously. The protocol pertaining to this substudy has been published elsewhere [3]. As previously described, the corresponding KeGFR was calculated as follows: \( \frac{\mathrm{Baseline}\ \mathrm{sCr}\ \mathrm{x}\ \mathrm{eGFR}}{\mathrm{Mean}\ \mathrm{sCr}}\times \left(1-\frac{24\ \mathrm{x}\ \Delta \mathrm{sCr}}{\Delta \mathrm{t}\ \mathrm{x}\ \mathrm{Max}\Delta \mathrm{sCr}/\mathrm{Day}}\right) \) with eGFR derived from the CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration) equation using serum creatinine (sCr) before admission, Δt fixed at 24 h between two sCr measurements, and maximal sCr increase per day approximated to 133 μmol/L [4]. ARC was defined by a measured CrCL ≥ 130 mL/min/1.73 m2. Piperacillin underdosing was arbitrarily defined by a free drug concentration ≤ 32 μg/ml at steady state.

Among the 180 samples analyzed, the incidence of ARC was 48% (median CrCL values = 124 [83–170] ml/min/1.73 m2) and the incidence of piperacillin underdosing was 51% (median piperacillin concentrations = 32 [22–47] μg/ml). The diagnostic agreement between KeGFR and CrCL was only moderate (κ = 0.48 [95% confidence interval 0.4–0.55]) (Fig. 1). Comparison between KeGFR and CrCL showed a mean bias of − 8.7 ml/min/1.73 m2 and limit of agreement from − 99 ml/min/1.73 m2 to 82 ml/min/1.73 m2. Finally, the area under the ROC curve generated for KeGFR was significantly lower than the one generated for measured CrCL for prediction of piperacillin underdosing (0.76 [0.68–0.83] vs 0.85 [0.79–0.91], p = 0.03; Fig. 2).

In conclusion, KeGFR is not interchangeable with measured CrCL for prediction of piperacillin underexposure in critically ill patients with ARC. Also, scarce data may suggest a better predictive value of Cockcroft-Gault compared to MDRD (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study) or CKD-EPI for identifying patients with ARC [5]; a measured CLCR should be performed to accurately guide drug dosing. This study emphasizes the need for dosing adjustment and therapeutic drug monitoring in patients with ARC.
