Background
Colistin is a relevant antibiotic for infections by multiresistant microorganisms. However, it is not exempt from serious renal adverse events, e.g.: acute kidney injury (AKI). The present study describes the hydroelectrolytic disorders associated with the prescription of colistin.
Methods
Retrospective cohort design. Data were obtained from January 2021 to December 2022. Patients who received colistin for at least 48 hours were included. Patients with chronic renal support therapy or acute kidney injury prior to starting colistin were excluded.
Results
23 patients were evaluated, with an average age of 55.96 years, men 60.86%. The most frequently isolated microorganism was P. aeruginosa (56.52%). The reported findings were: euvolemic hyponatremia (39.13%), hypochloremia (43.47%), hypokalemia (52.17%), hypocalcemia (100%), hypophosphatemia (63.63%), and hypomagnesemia (95.23%). 11 patients (47.82%) developed AKI. When comparing the development of electrolyte disturbances between patients with and without AKI, hypomagnesemia was more frequent in the AKI group. There was a constant increase in the renal elimination of potassium, phosphate, and magnesium.
Conclusion
A high incidence of hydroelectrolytic imbalance associated with colistin was found. Interestingly, 100% of patients developed hypocalcemia and the majority had hypomagnesemia and hypophosphatemia. Urinary biochemical evaluation for potassium, phosphate and magnesium provides data highly suggestive of acute tubular dysfunction, an event rarely reported in the literature, which causes high comorbidity if the imbalance is not treated.
