Progressive hypoalbuminemia during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis: single centre report

Amikacin pharmacokinetics during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

The pharmacokinetics of amikacin were investigated in five stable patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Each patient was studied after the administration of 7.5 mg of amikacin per kg by both the intravenous (i.v.) and intraperitoneal (i.p.) route, allowing a 1-month washout period between doses. No differences in amikacin half-life, volume of distribution, total ...

Paediatric continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

Ten children in end-stage renal failure were treated by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). This represents a total of 3.4 patient years. Biochemical control was good, and parent and patient acceptability high. Peritonitis was the chief complication, but after the institution of a specific CAPD education and training programme the incidence declined 10-fold. We regard CAPD as an e...

Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis--a preliminary report on 7 patients.

Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) was first described. I However, it was only after Oreopoulos 2 and eo-workers modified and introduced their technique in 1978, did CAPD gain wide acceptance. Since then, it has established itself as a modality of therapy for patients with endstage renal disease around the world, but mainly in the developed countries. 3.4 Its popularity is due to ...

Listeria monocytogenes peritonitis during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD)

Ertapenem pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

Scant data exist for the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ertapenem in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). The goals of this study were to characterize the PK profile of ertapenem during CAPD, determine the extent of ertapenem penetration into the peritoneal cavity, and quantify the probability of the target attainment (PTA) profile in the serum and peritoneal cavity. A single...
