Calculating estimated GFR • The different equations used for calculating estimated (e)GFR are not equivalent • aMDRD – current internationally accepted standard for reporting kidney function when the eGFR is abnormal • aMDRD factors 4 variables – age, sex, ethnicity and creatinine – to provide an eGFR • CG eGFR – the equation used in most drug dose adjustment algorithms in renal disease • CG and eGFR are not equivalent aMDRD: abbreviated modification of diet in renal disease; CG: Cockcroft-Gault; (e)GFR: (estimated) glomerular filtration
Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) staging Only one criterion is required to qualify for stage Mehta RL et al. Crit Care 2007; 11: 1 – 8
Multiple myeloma • Renal function a major determinant of Morbidity/Mortality • Around 50% have significant renal impairment at presentation • At new presentation around 4 pmp require dialysis • Myeloma and dialysis survival poor
Disease specific kidney injury in Myeloma • Cast Nephropathy (Myeloma Kidney) • Tubular epithelial cell injury +/- interstitial inflammation and fibrosis • AL Amyloidosis • Light Chain Deposition Disease • Fibrillary GN • Heavy Chain Deposition Disease • Cryoglobulinaemic glomerulonephritis
Co-factors for Acute Kidney Injury in Myeloma • Drugs • NSAIDS • Diuretics • Hypercalcaemia • Sepsis • Volume depletion/dehydration • Operative stress

Approach to AKI and suspected cast nephropathy • Screen ASAP with SPE and sFLC or UPE • Suspect cast nephropathy if sFLC>500mg/l or UPE BJP+ve • High quality supportive care • Prompt commencement of chemotherapy
Supportive Care • Optimise urine output • Correct hypercalcaemia • Correct acidosis • Avoid diuretics • Avoid nephrotoxic drugs
Chemotherapy • Start ASAP • Use dexamethasone and novel agents • There is increasing experience in bortezomib in severe renal failure
Early sFLC responses are a major determinant of renal recovery
Renal recovery from cast nephropathy and changes in sFLC levels in the first 21 days For an 80% chance of renal recovery there must be a 60% reduction in sFLC by day 21 39 patients with cast nephropathy: Birmingham + Mayo
Plasma exchange can remove intravascular FLC But does this translate into clinical benefit??
Plasma Exchange When Myeloma Presents as Acute Renal FailureA Randomized, Controlled Trial.Clark et al: Ann Intern Med. 2005;143:777-784.
MERIT – primary end-point(thanks to J Behrens and M Drayson)
~ 85% Myeloma Load - FLC generation extravascular ~15% intravascular
Does High Cut-Off (protein-permeable) dialysis provide an alternative approach to plasma exchange for the removal of FLC?
HCO Membrane - increased permeability for mid-molecules Convective permeability

Ideal timelines – personal view • Patient identified as at risk (AKI – unknown cause) • SPE and sFLC – urgent (same day) • Renal Biopsy if clinically suitable – urgent report • Urgent marrow if indicated by SPE/sFLC/Renal Biopsy • Immediate commencement of Dexamethasone followed by prompt addition of novel agent (e.g. Bortezomib)
Determinants of recovery from dialysis dependent renal failure: an international study
AKI secondary to cast nephropathy is a medical emergency analogous to RPGN secondary to vasculitis
Conclusions • Cast nephropathy secondary to myeloma and AKI is a medical emergency • Coordinated MDT working is required to optimise patient outcome • Early responses in serum FLC are required for a renal recovery • Effective chemotherapy is essential • The role of extra-corporeal removal of FLC is under evaluation
