  • Meropenem at Recommended Dose Can Cause Potential Risk for Seizure in Hemodialysis Patient
    Case Report Annals of Short Reports Published: 30 Sep, 2019 Meropenem at Recommended Dose Can Cause Potential Risk for Seizure in Hemodialysis Patient Abdullah Al-Hwiesh1*, Amani Alhwiesh1, Eman Fathi2, Fadwa Mohamed2, Manar Elsayed2, Jamielou Almazan2, Abdullah Alrashidi2, Fatimah Aldehiam2, Azeeza Aldwaihi2, Saad Alqhtani2, Hussin Alsharani2 and Nadia Aluauda3 1Department of Nephrology, King Fahd Hospital of the University, Saudi Arabia 2Department of Nephrology, Security Force Hospital Damam, Saudi Arabia 3Department of Nephrology, Damman Central Hospital, Saudi Arabia Abstract Dosage adjustment of meropenem is usually recommended in hemodialysis patient and about 30% of meropenem is cleared during regular hemodialysis session. However, most of published trials excluded patients on regular hemodialysis. Little is known about the exact dosage of meropenem to ovoid central nervous system toxicity. Here we report a 65 year old Saudi lady known case of end stage renal failure on regular hemodialysis was admitted due to pyelonephritis and was started on meropenem as recommended dose, developed tonic clonic convulsion after seventh dose of meropenem and the seizure completely aborted after discontinuation the offending drug. The recommended dosage of 500 mg daily in hemodialysis patients may be still too high in particularly Asians patient, owing to their relative small body mass index. Keywords: Meropenem; Seizure; ESRD; Hemodialysis Introduction Seizures are episode of transient neurologic change due to hyper excitation of neuronal activity in the brain. Seizures are divided into two types: provoked and unprovoked seizure. Provoked seizure occurs with a recognized cause and is not expected to recur in the absence of that particular cause, OPEN ACCESS whereas unprovoked seizure occurs without a recognized cause [1].

  • Status Epilepticus
    Status Epilepticus By Aaron M. Cook, Pharm.D., BCPS, BCCCP Reviewed by Gretchen M. Brophy, Pharm.D., FCCP, BCPS; Matthew J. Korobey, Pharm.D. BCCCP; and You Min Sohn, Pharm.D., M.S., BCPS, BCCCP LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Evaluate factors that may affect treatment success in patients with status epilepticus. 2. Distinguish gaps in the literature related to optimal status epilepticus treatment. 3. Evaluate therapeutic strategies for super-refractory status epilepticus. 4. Assess the impact of timing of status epilepticus treatment initiation, and develop strategies to optimize effective treatment. DEFINITIONS OF STATUS EPILEPTICUS ABBREVIATIONS IN THIS CHAPTER Status epilepticus is defined as continuous seizure activity for EEG Electroencephalogram greater than 5 minutes or consecutive seizures without regaining GABA g-Aminobutyric acid consciousness over 5 minutes. Status epilepticus is common in ICH Intracerebral hemorrhage the epilepsy population and is often associated with acute, severe NMDA N-methyl-D-aspartate neurological injury or illness such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), TBI Traumatic brain injury intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), meningitis, or pharmacologic toxic- Table of other common abbreviations. ity/withdrawal. Overall, the incidence of status epilepticus is about 12 per 100,000 individuals, a value that has increased 50% since the early 2000s (Dham 2014). Status epilepticus is often divided into “convulsive” status epilepticus (in which the patient has obvi- ous clinical manifestations of seizures, mental status impairment, or postictal focal neurological deficits) and “nonconvulsive” status epi- lepticus (in which the patient has no obvious clinical manifestations of seizure, but seizure activity is revealed on electroencephalogram [EEG]). Refractory status epilepticus is defined as status epilepticus that persists despite treatment with at least two antiepileptic drugs.

Recarbrio (imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam) Review: Recarbrio is a combination of imipenem (a carbapenem beta lactam antibiotic), cilastatin (prevents renal metabolism of imipenem), and relebactam indicated in adult patients with complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI) or complicated intra-abdominal infection (cIAI) causes by susceptible gram-negative pathogens. Relebactam is a β- lactamase inhibitor with no intrinsic antibacterial activity but which prevents the degradation of imipenem by certain β-lactamases. An efficacy evaluation relies in part on previous findings of efficacy of imipenem in the treatment of cUTI and cIAI. Carbapenems, including imipenem, are often used as last resort for serious infections with multi-drug resistant gram negative organisms but have increasing incidences of resistance due in part to carbapenemase, a β-lactamase with the capability of cleaving β-lactam amide bonds.
