Milrinone Pharmacokinetics and Acute Kidney Injury (MIL-PK)

USE OF ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY BIOMARKERS TO PREDICT IMPAIRED MILRINONE PHARMACOKINETICS IN CHILDREN FOLLOWING CARDIAC SURGERY

Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in 40% of children following heart surgery. Serum creatinine (Scr) is a late biomarker of AKI, rising 24-48 hours after surgery. Thus, for medicines excreted in the urine, AKI could potentially lead to toxic levels in the blood. Urinary biomarkers have the ability to detect AKI earlier. Whether early detection of AKI through urinary biomarkers can predict altered drug levels is unknown.

Milrinone is used to improve heart function after surgery, but accumulates in AKI resulting in low blood pressure. Dose adjustments are not currently possible because of the late rise in SCr, and are based on clinical parameters that may lead to clinically relevant over or under-dosing. Thus, this study will address an important knowledge gap being the first to use elevations of AKI biomarker concentrations to anticipate increased milrinone levels.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Acute kidney injury
AKI defined by an elevation in urinary AKI biomarkers
No acute kidney injury
No AKI defined by normal urinary AKI biomarkers

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Biomarker elevation and milrinone clearance
Time Frame: By 24 hours
The primary outcome variables for Aim 1 are an elevation in urinary AKI biomarkers to predict a 25% reduction in milrinone clearance.
By 24 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Creatinine elevation and milrinone clearance
Time Frame: by 72 hours
The secondary outcome variables for Aim 2 include a 50-75% increase in SCr to predict a 25% reduction in milrinone clearance
by 72 hours

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Hemodynamic parameters and AKI
Time Frame: by 72 hours
Parameters of hemodynamic function defined by a decrease in central venous pressure of > 5cmH20, and/or a decrease in superior vena cava saturation by >10% at 12-36 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass. These surrogate markers of clinical outcome will be correlated with the following: operative mortality, longer time to achieve negative fluid balance, higher vasoactive inotrope score and longer intensive care and hospital length of stay.
by 72 hours
