Background:Vancomycin has a narrow therapeutic window, and an increase in its serum concentration-to-dose ratio during treatment can cause renal toxicity. Therefore, this study was aimed at finding a marker to identify patients at risk of increasing serum vancomycin during treatment.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study of patients treated with vancomycin at Kanazawa University Hospital, Japan, from April 2012 to May 2015. Spearman correlation coefficients were calculated to determine the correlations between changes in vancomycin concentration-to-dose ratio and initial values or changes in laboratory data and other parameters. In addition, a multiple regression analysis was conducted.Results:One hundred ninety-nine patients for whom 2 or more points of data on therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of intravenous vancomycin treatment were available and did not undergo dialysis were included in the study. Changes in vancomycin concentration-to-dose ratio were associated with C-reactive protein (CRP) and sodium (Na) levels on the initial day of TDM and with changes in white blood cell count, Na, and estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs). Multiple regression analysis helped identify CRP and Na levels on the initial day of TDM and change in eGFR as independent influencing variables.Conclusions:A high serum CRP level on the initial day of TDM is an independent predictor of increasing vancomycin concentration-to-dose ratio in patients receiving intravenous vancomycin treatment, even if eGFR remains unchanged.BACKGROUNDVancomycin (VCM) is used to treat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection, 1, 2 but it has a narrow therapeutic index (10–20 mg/L). Therefore, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of VCM levels in serum is mandatory to maximize efficacy and minimize toxicity, as well as to prevent the development of antimicrobial resistance. 3–7 Because VCM is primarily eliminated through glomerular filtration, it is essential to consider renal function when designing a VCM dosing plan. 8 However, we observed elevation in serum VCM concentrations in several patients with stable renal function. This can be exemplified by a case in our hospital: a 76-year-old woman with infective endocarditis received mitral valve replacement, and intravenous VCM was initiated at a dose of 500 mg twice daily. The serum VCM concentrations increased from 12.1 to 20.0 mg/L on day 10–13, although her condition improved steadily after the operation, and her serum creatinine (SCr) level remained unchanged (1.0–0.92 mg/dL). Eventually, she developed VCM-associated nephrotoxicity on day 18 (SCr was 1.53 mg/dL). Although the factors influencing VCM pharmacokinetics (PK) have been studied in some specific populations, including patients with hepatic disorder, obesity, and cancer, 9–11 the factors that may cause altered VCM PK in patients with unaffected kidney function remain unclear. Because pathological factors such as obesity and cancer are not expected to change drastically during the relatively short periods of VCM treatment, this study focused on clinical laboratory data as potential markers for predicting an increase in serum VCM concentration-to-dose ratios, with the aim of identifying patients at risk for vancomycin toxicity during treatment. The identification of new factors influencing serum VCM concentrations, in addition to existing biomarkers such as SCr, would be helpful for optimizing individualized VCM dosing schedules. Therefore, the aim of this study was to find a marker to predict patients at risk of increasing serum vancomycin concentrations during treatment, by investigating the relationship …
