Warfarin dosing in patients with impaired kidney function.
BACKGROUND In patients with kidney impairment, warfarin, a drug metabolized primarily by the cytochrome P-450 system, is initiated at similar doses and managed similarly as in the general medical population. Unfortunately, few data exist to guide dose adjustment in patients with decreased kidney function. Here, we determine the degree of warfarin dose reduction associated with kidney impairment...
متن کاملEstimating baseline kidney function in hospitalized patients with impaired kidney function.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Inaccurate determination of baseline kidney function can misclassify acute kidney injury (AKI) and affect the study of AKI-related outcomes. No consensus exists on how to optimally determine baseline kidney function when multiple preadmission creatinine measurements are available. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS The accuracy of commonly used methods for...

متن کاملDevelopment and Comparison of Warfarin Dosing Algorithms in Stroke Patients.
PURPOSE The genes for cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) and vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) have been identified as important genetic determinants of warfarin dosing and have been studied. We developed warfarin algorithm for Korean patients with stroke and compared the accuracy of warfarin dose prediction algorithms based on the pharmacogenetics. MATERIALS AND METHODS A tota...
متن کاملGenetic-based dosing in orthopedic patients beginning warfarin therapy.
High variability in drug response and a narrow therapeutic index complicate warfarin therapy initiation. No existing algorithm provides recommendations on refining the initial warfarin dose based on genetic variables, clinical data, and international normalized ratio (INR) values. Our goal was to develop such an algorithm. We studied 92 patients undergoing primary or revision total hip or knee ...
