Pharmacokinetics of metronidazole in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
After a single 500-mg intravenous dose of metronidazole, plasma and dialysate levels were measured over a 7.5-h period in five patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis for terminal renal failure. Approximately 10% of this dose was removed by dialysis during that period, and therapeutic levels were maintained in plasma. No routine adjustment in the dosage of metronidazole appears necessary in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.

Pharmacokinetics of metronidazole in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
The pharmacokinetics of metronidazole, its biologically active alcohol metabolite, and its inactive acid metabolite were studied in five noninfected patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and five patients undergoing hemodialysis. The latter were studied on off-dialysis days as a control group. Peritoneal dialysis caused insignificant changes in the apparent volume of dis...

Teh pharmacokinetics of gentamicin were studied in seven chronic renal failure patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Patients received 100 mg of gentamicin in 2 liters of dialysate during an initial pass, and serum and dialysate samples were collected for gentamicin determination. Approximately 49% of the amount introduced into the peritoneal cavity was absorbed systemi...
متن کاملA Comparative Study on Using Coiled Versus Straight Swan-Neck Tenckhoff Catheters in Patients Undergoing Peritoneal Dialysis
The key to successful long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) is permanent and safe access to peritoneal cavity. The two most commonly used Tenckoff catheters for PD are the straight and coiled catheters. The present study was undertaken to assess the catheter survival, catheter associated infections, and all cause mortality and to compare the straight with coiled catheters in PD. During April 1997-...

The pharmacokinetics of amikacin were examined in six bilaterally nephrectomized patients undergoing hemodialysis and in four patients with a minimal residual renal function undergoing peritoneal dialysis. The mean elimination half-life before the dialysis was 86.5 h in the anephric patients and 44.3 h in the patients with minimal residual kidney function. The results from the anephric patients...

The pharmacokinetics of cefamandole were studied in four patients with stable renal failure, two patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis, and four patients undergoing hemodialysis. Peak concentrations of cefamandole in serum were achieved 1 to 2 h after intramuscular injection in the patients with stable renal impairment, and the concentrations declined slowly, with half-life values of 12.3 to ...
