Abstract
Introduction: Caspofungin pharmacokinetics may be altered in critically ill patients. In vitro studies suggest significant drug adsorption with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membranes during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).
Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 66 plasma caspofungin concentrations (pCASconc) from 35 ICU patients between 2021 and 2024, comparing those on PAN-CRRT (n = 19) versus those without (n = 47).
Results: Caspofungin is mainly prescribed for candidemia (40%) and invasive Candida infections (25.7%). Median pCASconc at 12 h was similar between groups, but at 18 and 24 h, it was significantly higher in the PAN-CRRT group [5.3 (4.1-6.9) vs. 3.3 (1.9-3.7) mg/L, p = 0.04 and 5.3 (3.9-5.8) vs. 3.1 (2.5-4.5) mg/L, p = 0.01, respectively]. ECMO use was more frequent in PAN-CRRT patients (75% vs. 21.7%, p = 0.01). Persistent candidemia occurred in three patients (one in PAN-CRRT, two in non-PAN-CRRT).
Conclusion: This study found no evidence of caspofungin depletion with PAN-CRRT, warranting further research on clinical outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Infectious Diseases and Therapy is an international, open access, peer-reviewed, rapid publication journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of infectious disease therapies and interventions, including vaccines and devices. Studies relating to diagnostic products and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
Areas of focus include, but are not limited to, bacterial and fungal infections, viral infections (including HIV/AIDS and hepatitis), parasitological diseases, tuberculosis and other mycobacterial diseases, vaccinations and other interventions, and drug-resistance, chronic infections, epidemiology and tropical, emergent, pediatric, dermal and sexually-transmitted diseases.
