Metformin and radiocontrast

• Background:– causes lactic acidosis (rare but life threatening)– risk is higher in AKI or CKD G5– radiocontrast risks AKI (small but significant)

9/29/2016 20

ACR recommendations:

•Category I:  If eGFR ≥30 and no AKI, continue Metformin. No need to check Creatinine following contrast.•Category II: If CKD G4 or G5 or AKI, and/or undergoing arterial catheter studies that might result in emboli (atheromatous or other) to the renal arteries, hold metformin during or prior to the procedure, and for 48 hours after, until Creatinine has been re‐checked and found to be normal.

FDA press release 4/8/2016

•Discontinuemetformin at the time of or before an iodinated contrast imaging procedure in patients with an eGFR between 30 and 60 mL/minute/1.73 m2 ; in patients with a history of liver disease, alcoholism, or heart failure; or in patients who will be administered intra‐arterial iodinated contrast. Reevaluate eGFR 48 hours after the imaging procedure; restart metformin if renal function is stable.

Metformin and Radiocontrast in CKD

* iCentra advisories being created.* Will likely review eGFR level if available or  prompt its estimation when a contrast study is ordered.* PCP’s responsibility to discontinue Metformin when eGFR is < 30 ml/min

Questions1. 48 yr old male with type 2 diabetes, hypertension and 

dyslipidemia, is seen on routine follow up. His weight is stable. He smokes ½ ppd, does not drink and walks 3 miles every other day.  He is on Metformin 1000 mg bid, Glimepiride 2 mg daily, Ramipril 10 mg daily, HCTZ 25 mg qd, and Atorvastatin 20 mg daily. 

BMI 28, BP 128/74, ACR 320 mg/g, A1c 6.8. His ACR 4 months prior was 15 mg/g. 

Which of the following might be the reason for his worsening albuminuria?a. BP 128/74b. Smoking ½ pack a day of cigarettesc. HCTZ 25 mg qdd. Atorvastatin 20 mg daily

Summary

•Test regularly  (monitor progression, complications and treatment)• Control BP

• < 140/90, if ACR < 30• < 130/80 if ACR> 300 and perhaps 30‐300 as well

• Prescribe ACEI/ ARB for ACR > 30 in Diabetics or ACR > 300 in others
