Weight-based loading of vancomycin in patients on hemodialysis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We evaluated weight-based loading doses of vancomycin and resulting initial prehemodialysis concentrations. Modeling demonstrated modest correlation between dose administered, age, and initial concentration achieved. Actual body weight-based loading of vancomycin predictably achieves therapeutic initial concentrations in patients who receive hemodialysis.

Factors influencing vancomycin loading dose for hospitalized hemodialysis patients: prospective observational cohort study.
BACKGROUND The increasing use of vancomycin to treat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has resulted in reduced susceptibility of MRSA to this drug. It is important to optimize vancomycin dosing in patients who are undergoing hemodialysis to attain a pre-hemodialysis serum concentration sufficient to eradicate MRSA, in accordance with recent guideline recommendations. OBJECTIV...
متن کاملThe Impact of Intraluminal Vancomycin Adminstration on Prevention of Hemodialysis CatheterRelated Infections
Introduction: Percutaneously inserted double-lumen central venous hemodialysis catheters provide the nephrologist with an excellent temporary access for an immediate hemodialysis treatment and preserve the peripheral veins for the future creation of a permanent arteriovenous vascular access. Unfortunately catheterrelated infections are usually common. In this study, the impact of intra luminal ...

Background. Current guidelines for systemic vancomycin dosing recommended using actual body weight (ABW) regardless of body mass index (BMI). We sought to evaluate the effect of this dosing strategy in obese patients with BMI ≥35. Methods. Retrospective cohort study of patients ≥18 years old with a BMI ≥35 hospitalized between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2013 with at least 3 doses of intra...
متن کاملInitial vancomycin dosing recommendations for critically ill patients undergoing continuous venovenous hemodialysis.
BACKGROUND Delaying appropriate antimicrobial therapy for critically ill patients increases the risk of death. Currently, there are insufficient data to guide initial vancomycin dosing for patients undergoing continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD). OBJECTIVE To develop practical recommendations for initial dosing of vancomycin, based on the pharmacokinetics of this drug in critically ill ...
