Prevalence
Chronic Kidney Disease
“Chronic kidney disease is a worldwide
public health problem affecting more
than 50 million people, and more than
1 million of them are receiving kidney
replacement therapy.”

When to Study Renal impairment?
Renal impairment studies are considered necessary when1. Renal impairment is likely to significantly alter the PK
(and PD) of the drug and its active metabolites
2. A dosage adjustment is likely to be required for safe
and effective use of the drug in such patients
3. It is likely to be used in such patients
In particular, a study….with renal
impairment is recommended when
the drug (metabolites) ..
1. Narrow therapeutic index
2. Elimination primarily by renal
mechanisms (excretion or
metabolism)

Conclusion from the Survey (1)
1) The 1998 guidance had an impact on
the determination of need to conduct a
renal impairment study, study design and
labeling: renal studies conducted in
- 71% of oral NME (36/51)
- 13 out of 14 NMEs with predominantly
renal pathway (the remaining one postmarketing)
12
Shiew-Mei Huang
Conclusion from the Survey (2)
2) More studies are needed for
hemodialysis patients (44% studied
in dialysis patients)
3) There appeared to be PK changes
in renal impairment for NMEs that
are predominantly metabolized
and/or transported; the effect of
renal impairment on drug
metabolism and transport needs to
be understood better
13
Shiew-Mei Huang
Proposed Recommendations (1)
When a study is needed?
Renal Studies need to be
conducted for drugs that are
metabolized/transported, in
addition to drugs that are
renally eliminated

Proposed Recommendations (3)
Renal function be evaluated by the following:
• MDRD (Modified Diet in Renal Disease)
is the preferred method
• Cockcroft-Gault equation should be
used as a reference
17
Shiew-Mei Huang
Proposed Recommendations (4)
ESRD (hemodialysis) patients
ESRD patients need to be studied for
most investigational drugs
- Pre-dialysis to evaluate the effect of
renal impairment on drug clearance
[considered as the worst case scenario]
- During dialysis to evaluate the effect
of dialysis on drug removal (unless the
drug has a large Vd)

Chronic Renal Disease (CKD):
Public Health Problem in US
• 26 million people currently have kidney damage,
regardless of the cause, for three or more
months (JAMA 298; 2047, 2007);
• Risk factors included age>60y, hypertension,
diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and family
history
• Outcome can be progression to kidney failure
and premature death caused by cardiovascular
disease.
• CKD is diagnosed primarily as decreased GFR

Definition of Impaired Renal Function
– NKF/KDOQI guidelines:
• GFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for 3 months are classified
as having chronic kidney disease, irrespective of the
presence or absence of kidney damage.
• GFR <90 mL/min/1.73 m2 would be abnormal in a
young adult. On the other hand, a GFR of 60–89
mL/min/1.73 m2 could be normal from approximately
8 weeks to 1 year of age and in older individuals.
• It is not certain whether individuals with chronically
decreased GFR in the range of 60 to 89 mL/min/1.73
m2 without kidney damage are at increased risk for
adverse outcomes, such as toxicity from drugs
excreted by the kidney or acute kidney failure.
32
GFR vs Urinary clearance
For a substance (m) that is excreted in the
Urine: Um x V = GFR x Pm–TRm+ TSm
• GFR= (UmxV+TRm-TSm)/Pm
• For an ideal filtration marker
–TRm= 0; TSm= 0
–GFR= (Um xV)/Pm
Um: urine concentration of substance m
V: urine volume rate
Pm: plasma concentration of m
TRm: tubular reabsorption of m
TSm: tubular secretion of m
33
Ideal markers for GFR
measurement
GFR=Um x V/Pm
(Pm and Um= plasma and urine concentrations of marker; V=urine flow
rate)
•
•
•
•
•
Freely filterable at the glomerulus
Neither secreted nor reabsorbed by the tubules
Steady state concentrations in blood
No extrarenal route of excretion
Easily and accurately measured
34
Exogenous marker: Inulin
Exogenous marker: Inulin
• Gold standard
• Constant infusion and bladder catheterization for
good reproducibility
• Significant blood sample volume
• Assay is difficult to do
• Expensive and time consuming
• Limited to investigational research
35
Exogenous markers: unlabeled markers and
radio-labeled tracers (e.g. iothalamate,
EDTA, iohexol, DTPA)
• Low bias, high precision and reproducible
measurement
• Difficult to do in a routine clinical practice
• Can be used when concomitant drugs (e.g.
trimethoprim, cimetidine) interfere with
elimination of endogenous creatinine
36
Endogenous marker: Cystatin C
• May have possible advantages over serum creatinine
due to constant rate of production and its intrarenal
handling
• Sensitive marker for early and mild changes of GFR
• Greater intra-individual variability than Scr
• Urinary clearance can not be measured
• Influenced by age, gender, weight, height, smoking
status, the level of c-reactive protein and corticosteroid
use
• Not recommend currently for CKD
• CystatinC equations may be accepted in the future
37
Endogenous markers:
Creatinine/Ccr
• Secreted by proximal tubular cells as well as
filtered by the glomerulus
• Generation primarily determined by muscle
mass and dietary intake
• Need 24-hour urine collection and blood
sampling during the collection period
• Cumbersome for timed urinary collection
• Susceptible to error
38
Equations Used to Estimate GFR
(eGFR)
• Derived with the use of regression techniques to
model the observed relation between the serum
level of creatinine and the measured GFR
• Included several variables such as age, gender,
race, and body size (overcome the limitations of
the use of serum creatinine)
• Study populations consisting predominantly of
patients with CKD and reduced GFR
39
NKF-KDOQI recommendation
Adults
Cockcroft-Gault equation:
GFR (ml/min) = (140-age) X Weight /72 x Scr X(0.85 if female)
MDRD (modification of diet in renal disease) equation:
GFR (ml/min/1.73 m2) = 186 X (SCr) -1.154 X (Age) -0.203 X
(0.742 if female) X (1.210 if black)
Children
Schwartz equation: GFR (ml/min) = 0.55 x length/Scr
Counahan-Barratt equation: GFR (ml/min/1.73m2)= 0.43 X Length/Scr
40
Cockcroft-Gault vs MDRD (1)
Equation Development of eGFR
• Cockcroft-Gault: Derived from 249 men with Ccr from 30
to 130 ml/min in 1973.
• MDRD: Derived from 1628 patients with CKD in 1999
and re-expressed in 2005 for use with a standard serum
creatinine assay
41
Cockcroft-Gault vs MDRD (2)
Studied Populations
• Gender: Males and Females
• Race: blacks, whites and Asians
• Diseases: Healthy, CKD, Diabetes with and without
kidney disease, Kidney-transplant recipients, and
potential kidney donors
42
Cockcroft-Gault vs MDRD (3)
Variables
• Cockcroft-Gault : Age, gender, and body mass
GFR (ml/min) = (140-age) X Weight/72 xScrX(0.85 if female)
• MDRD: Age, gender, race, and body mass (albumin and urea)
GFR (ml/min/1.73 m2) = 170 X (SCr) -0.999 X (Age) -0.175 X (0.762 if
female) X (1.1800 if black) X (BUN) -0.270 X (Alb) +0.318 (Equation 7)
GFR (ml/min/1.73 m2) = 186 X (SCr) -1.154 X (Age) -0.203 X (0.742 if
female) X (1.210 if black) (Abbreviated equation)
GFR (ml/min/1.73 m2) = 175 X (SCr) -1.154 X (Age) -0.203 X (0.742 if
female) X (1.210 if black) (will be used after creatinine standardization)

Cockcroft-Gault vs MDRD (5)
Stevens al. NEJM 2006; 354: 2473-83
45
Cockcroft-Gault vs MDRD (6)
Accuracy
• Overall, MDRD are more accurate than the CockcroftGault in some studies whereas the two are similar in
other studies
• MDRD is reasonably accurate in non-hospitalized
patients with CKD
• Cockcroft-Gault is less accurate than the MDRD in older
and obese people
• Both are less accurate than the measured GFR in
population without CKD (GFR > 60 ml/min/1.73m2) such
as type I diabetes without microalbuminuria and potential
kidney donors
46
Cockcroft- Gault vs MDRD (7)
Major Limitations for both equations
• Unusual body habitus or diet: e.g. Overestimation of eGFR in
patients with low muscle mass or low meat diet
• In non-steady state (rapidly changing kidney function)
• Patients with estimated GFR > 60 ml/min/1.73m2
• Medication
47
Cockcroft- Gault vs MDRD (8)
Recommendation from Scientific Communities
• National Kidney foundation: Among adults, the MDRD
Study equation may perform better than the
Cockroft-Gault equation.

48
When Clearance Measurements May Be Necessary to
Estimate GFR (recommended by KDIGO)
• Extremes of age (elderly, children)
• Extremes of body size (obesity, type 2 diabetes, low
body mass index, ie, <18.5 kg/m2)
• Severe malnutrition (cirrhosis, end-stage renal failure)
• Grossly abnormal muscle mass (amputation, paralysis)
• High or low intake of creatinine of creatine (vegetarian
diet, dietary supplements)
• Pregnancy
• Rapidly changing kidney function
• Prior to dosing (high toxicity drugs, excreted by the
kidney)
• Prior to kidney donation
