CALCULATION OF A SAFE DOSE

ASSESSMENT #2: CALCULATION OF A SAFE DOSE USING THE BSA
Instructions: Determine if the order given by the doctor is safe for patients using the weight or the BSA, as needed.
Order: Garamicin 40mg IV q 8h for premature infants 8 days old and weighing 1,800 g. The recommended dose for neonates over one week of age is Garamycin 2 to 4.5mg/kg q 8 hr; and for preterm infants less than one week old, it is 4.5mg/kg q. 12 noon

What is the weight of the newborn in kg?

What is the safe daily dose?

What is the safe dose for every 8 hours?

Is the dose ordered by the doctor safe?

 

Order: Zantac 75 mg p.o. q. 6 hrs for a child who weighs 44 lbs and is 36 inches tall. The recommended pediatric dose is Zantac 250 to 500mg/m2/day in 4 divided doses.

Work up for kidney disease

You have a pleasant 48-year-old man come into your clinic for his annual physical kidney disease.  You have been following him for a number of years and his co-morbidities include HTN, relatively well-controlled DM2 with an HbA1c of 7.2, obesity, and tobacco abuse (1ppd and 40 pack-year histories).

 

He does have a family history of CKD, his brother is 62 and on dialysis and his father died of complications due to ESRD. He takes metformin only and two medications for HTN including HCTZ and metoprolol. Your assessment is benign in terms of physical examination.  He has no stigmata of underlying diabetic or hypertensive retinopathy and feels well otherwise.  Your lab work does uncover a worrisome trend, however.

 

Over the course of the last five years, his serum creatinine has gradually increased.  It was 1.1 in 2014 and today is now 1.5.

 

You are worried that his underlying co-morbidities are causing end-organ damage in the form of chronic kidney disease and he may have an underlying genetic factor contributing as well.

 

What are the stages of CKD? What is this patient’s GFR and how is it calculated?

 

 

In terms of counseling/intervention/testing what would be your next steps?  Would you order further lab work like a UA or 24-hour urine?  Why/why not?

 

Should you adjust his medications?  Which and why?

 

In terms of work up for kidney disease, would this patient warrant further work up like an ultrasound to look for structural causes given his family history?  What disease are you looking for and what potential interventions are there?
