RESUMEN

Purpose:

Kidney disease (KD) is defined as an abnormality of the kidney in the structure or function with implications for the health, which can occur abruptly, and either resolve or become chronic. This status use to require medication dosage adjustment. Inappropriate prescribing is a common drug-related problem. The aim of this study is to evaluate the acceptance rate through pharmaceutical interventions with implementation of a daily cross-validation procedure in electronic prescription in patients with KD, susceptible to suffer a drug-related problem (DRP).

Methods:

A nine month-prospective study, in renal insufficiency inpatients (serum creatinine >1.7 mg/dl) treated with drugs that require dosage adjustment.

Results:

539 patients with renal failure were identified, 135 of them needed any adjust in their prescription. We performed 179 dosage recommendations, 104 of which were accepted. Most of the recommendations were done in patients with G4 renal damage. Dose modification was the adjustment most widely required. 25 active ingredients were analyzed and the drugs with higher number of interventions were spironolactone, ranitidine, meropenem and allopurinol. General Internal Medicine was the unit with most interventions and acceptance rate.

Conclusions:

Pharmaceutical intervention stands out as a strategy to improve the population’s pharmacotherapeutic quality taking into account the integration of assisted electronic prescription systems to facilitate a fast and immediate intervention in decision-making in these situations. (AU)
ABSTRACT

Objetivos:

Evaluar la tasa de aceptación de las intervenciones farmacéuticas con la implementación de un procedimiento diario de validación cruzada en prescripción electrónica de pacientes con IR susceptibles de sufrir un problema relacionado con la medicación (PRM). Material y

método:

Se trata de un estudio prospectivo de nueve meses de duración realizado en un hospital general universitario de 400 camas en pacientes con insuficiencia renal (creatinina sérica >1,7mg/dl) tratados con medicamentos que pueden requerir un ajuste posológico. La variable principal fue la tasa de aceptaación de las intervenciones farmacéuticas.

Resultados:

Se identificaron 539 pacientes con insuficiencia renal durante el período de estudio, 135 de ellos necesitaron algún ajuste en su prescripción. Se realizaron 179 recomendaciones farmacéuticas, 104 de las cuales fueron aceptadas. La mayoría de las recomendaciones se realizaron en pacientes con insuficiencia renal G4. Se analizaron 25 principios activos y los fármacos con mayor número de intervenciones fueron espironolactona, ranitidina, meropenem y alopurinol. El servicio con más intervenciones y tasa de aceptación fue Medicina Interna. (AU)
