This document provides an introduction to hepatic impairment studies. It discusses the role of the liver in pharmacokinetics including absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs. Common liver diseases and their effects on pharmacokinetics are also described. The objectives and recommended designs of hepatic impairment studies are outlined, including categorization of impairment using the Child-Pugh score and dose adjustment recommendations based on area under the curve comparisons. Both single-dose and multiple-dose study designs are discussed.
In this presentation I have tried to explain in brief about the dosage adjustment in renal disorders, how to carry out this process and the important formulae which are used in it.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Cephalosporins (mostly 3rd gen) Most Cephalosporin
Clindamycin Aminoglycosides
Chloramphenicol Macrolides
Metronidazole Fluoroquinolones
Mafcillin Penicillins
3. Role of Liver on
Pharmacokinetics
Absorption: especially for oral drugs
Distribution: plasma protein binding, tissue binding and
lipid solubility
Metabolism: conversion of pro-drugs into drugs (inactive to
active drug), conversion of active drug into inactive (for
excretion)
Excretion: biotransformation for renal excretion and direct
excretion via gall bladder (colon)
Kidney removes chemical from circulating
blood by filtration.
Liver remove chemical by circulating blood
by metabolism.
Even if they are excreted renally, they are
metabolized in the liver
4. Metabolism and Biotransformation
or Xenobiotics Metabolism
Metabolism
Hepatic Enzymatic
Extra
Hepatic
Enzymatic
Non-
enzymatic
The liver transforms fat-
soluble metabolite/toxins into
a water-soluble form so they
can be released:
Either through the kidneys
(elimination through the
urine)
Or, into the bile (elimination
through the colon) This transformation
occurs during a two-
phase process:
Phase I or oxidative phase
(by cytochrome P448 and
P450 systems)
Phase II by conjugative
phase
5. Common Hepatic Diseases
Liver Disease
Acute
(common cause Hep
A, B, paracetamol
overdose)
Chronic
(common cause Hep
B, C, alcohol)
Cirrhosis
Condition that results from
permanent damage or scarring of
the liver.
Alcoholic Cirrhosis
If the liver is required to detoxify
alcohol continuously, liver cells may
be destroyed or altered resulting in
fat deposits (fatty liver) and more
seriously, either inflammation
(alcoholic hepatitis) and/or
permanent scarring (cirrhosis).
Viral hepatitis
The most common forms world-
wide are hepatitis A, B and C.
Fatty Liver Obesity
6. Hepatic Impairment
May alter absorption
Alter metabolism (also
affect kidney function)
Altered excretion
Altered PK (which may alter
PD)
This may lead to:
drug accumulation (most
often)
Change on safety, efficacy
and toxicity profile
failure to form an active
metabolite (less often)
7. Why Hepatic Impairment Study is
Required?
Unpredictable: No
correlation of extent
of impairment Vs
amount of
accumulation (for an
individual drug)
No general rule can
be set for dosage
modification
To establish the
correlation of PK with
degree of hepatic
impairment, trial
should be conducted
The correlation is
assessed by
comparing the PK
of drug metabolite
in patients with
impairment with
matched controlled
healthy volunteers.
Possible reasons of
unpredictability:
No standardized method to
extent of impairment
Extent of involvement of liver
Type of liver disease
Nature of drug
8. When to conduct HI Study?
Conducted only after the SAD and MAD study is done
and complete PK profile in healthy volunteers is
established
The timing of these trials is generally before or in
parallel with Phase II
However sponsors prefer to conduct HI study after
Phase II study (after confirmation of efficacy
assessment in at-least one study)
9. Objective of HI Study
To assess the influence of hepatic impairment on PK of drug and
metabolites
To assess the influence of hepatic impairment on PD
when co-response data is not available; or
there is a concern that hepatic imp may alter PD response
To assess the influence of hepatic impairment on safety and
tolerability of the study drug
To allow recommendations for dose modifications
Yes
No

12. Categorization of Hepatic
Impairment
Laboratory criterion: like Bilirubin and Albumin,
Prothombine time
Clinical variables: like ascities or encephalopathy,
nutritional status, peripheral status and histological
evidence of fibrosis or combinations of variables
Child-Turcotte Score: proposed the scoring system by
using laboratory as well as clinical variables in 1964.
Primarily for alcoholic cirrhosis and portal hypertension
Child-Pugh Score: modified by Pugh et al in 1972. They
replaced criterion of nutritional status with the prothrombin
time or INR, and assigned scores of 1-3 to each variable.
No single measure or group of measures has gained widespread clinical
use

13. Acceptable Classification of
Degree of Hepatic Impairment?
Both FDA’s and EMA’s guidelines recommend use
of the Child-Pugh Score for categorization
Originally used to predict mortality during surgery
Also used to determine the prognosis, strength of
treatment and the necessity of liver
transplantation.

Score?

19. Single Dose or multi dose?
Single-dose HI study - when the PK exhibit linear and time-
independence over the anticipated dose range
A multiple-dose study - when the PK exhibit non-linear or time
dependence over the anticipated dose range
In multiple dose study, PK assessment is appropriately carried out
at steady state
Editor's Notes
Why, When, How, Our HI Study, Lesson Learnt. Study Team
Absorption: Bile (secreted by hepatocytes and stored in gall bladder) emulsification of fats by bile turns the large clumps of fat into smaller pieces that have more surface area and are therefore easier for the body to digest.
Example of extra hepatic metabolism: Vancomycin
Alter kidney function which can lead to accumulation of drugs or its metabolite even when the kidney is not primarily responsible for elimination
Altered level of metabolit may cause normal drug doses to have toxic effect
No general rules are available for modifying drug dosage in patients with liver disease
narrow therapeutic range: having little difference between toxic and therapeutic doses
Kidney impairment is well categorized by ceatinine clearance
Dr C.G. Child and Dr J.G. Turcotte of the University of Michigan first proposed the scoring system in 1964 in a textbook on liver disease.[2] It was modified by Pugh et al in 1972 in a report on surgical treatment of bleeding from oesophageal varices.[3] They replaced Child's criterion of nutritional status with the prothrombin time or INR, and assigned scores of 1-3 to each variable.[1]
Ascites: accumulation of fluid in theperitoneal cavity.
Encephalopathy: is an altered mental state
Primary biliary cirrhosis, or PBC, is a chronic, or long-term, disease of the liver that slowly destroys the medium-sized bile ducts within the liver.
