Critical illness and associated sequelae can cause severe metabolic disturbances. The effects these have on hepatic drug metabolism are poorly understood. In vivo, enzyme specific drug probes are used to measure changes in hepatic drug metabolism but they require multiple blood sampling and are time consuming. We suggest that a single measurement, 4 h after intravenous administration of midazolam is a reliable indicator of integral plasma midazolam exposure or area under the curve (AUC) in critically ill patients. We also explore the hypothesis that acute kidney injury (AKI) directly impairs hepatic metabolism of drugs in critically ill patients.
