Q: 63 year old male with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is admitted to ICU with herpes pneumonitis. What precaution should be taken while prescribing Acyclovir?
Answer: To dose after hemodialysis (HD) session
Almost 50-60% of acyclovir is lost in hemodialysis. In ICU, things get trickier when ESRD patients are on continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Acyclovir clearance depends on various factors like filter type and flow rate. Response to acyclovir is more guided by clinical response and side effects, than targeted trough level. Help from pharmacy service should be sought in such situations.
