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-dose PK study was conducted in seven patients on CAPD.

Quantifying home medication regimen changes and quality of life in patients receiving nocturnal home hemodialysis.

Medication regimen simplification may improve adherence in end-stage kidney disease. The effect of nocturnal home hemodialysis (NHHD) on medication burden is unknown. A retrospective pilot study of NHHD patients was conducted.

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intravenous daptomycin during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

Background And Objectives: This study sought to (1) characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of intravenous (i.v.) daptomycin among patients receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD); (2) identify optimal i.

Use of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles to determine optimal administration of daptomycin in patients receiving standardized thrice-weekly hemodialysis.

This study identified optimal daptomycin dosing for patients receiving thrice-weekly hemodialysis (HD). Twelve adult patients on HD received daptomycin at 6 mg/kg of body weight intravenously (i.v.
