Comparison of Liver Function in Terms of Different Parameters in Patients Receiving Imipenem Therapy in the Intensive Care Unit; Retrospective study

Öz

Introduction: Imipenem is a carbapenem antibiotic agent and, commonly used in intensive care units(ICU), it is known to affect kidney and liver functions. Imipenem may cause transient elevation of liver function test results and eosinophilia. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) enzyme levels are used to monitor liver functions. In addition, international normalization rate (INR) test is among the test parameters in chronic liver failure, Child-Pugh classification. In ‘European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) Clinical Practical Guidelines on the management of acute (fulminant) liver failure’ guideline, acute hepatitis parameters include the use of transaminase enzymes and insufficient liver functions (gallstones, coagulopathy, etc.). In our study, in the period of admission to ICU and imipenem treatment; 1) hemoglobin level, AST, ALT, gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bilirubin, urea, creatinine, albumin (Alb), calcium (Ca) changes, INR, prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial to detect increases and decreases in thromboplastin time (aPTT) data; and 2) it was aimed to compare the correlation of these changes with AST and ALT changes. The aim of this study was to provide a more rapid and faster follow-up of the adverse effects of treatment during the use of imipenem in the intensive care unit, and to contribute to the acquisition of data in order to detect combinations of alternative laboratory tests. Material ve Methods: After the approval of TUEK(institutional medical ethics committee ) Board of Health Sciences University Konya Training and Research Hospital, the records of patients who were treated in the Anesthesiology and Reanimation Intensive Care Unit between April 2017 and April 2019 were reviewed retrospectively from the hospital database. Data, age, sex, hemoglobin, AST, ALT, GGT, ALP, bilirubin, urea, creatinine, Alb, calcium, PT, INR and aPTT values of patients who received imipenem treatment in ICU were screened and recorded. Results and Discussion: ALT values were decreased and found statistically significant. However, the decrease in ALT was not clinically significant. AST / ALT≤1 suggests acute liver diseases, cholestatic jaundice, hepatitis C, and in case of alcoholic hepatitis, this ratio is expected to be greater than 2. It is an expected result in our study in the group of patients with the possibility of acute liver injury. Although the increases and decreases of these parameters were statistically, there was no correlation with AST and ALT changes. In our study, the strongest correlation was found between AST-adm and creatinine-adm values and AST-dis and creatinine-dis values.
