Sci Rep

December 2024

Internal Medicine Department - Nephrology, Botucatu School of Medicine, University São Paulo State-UNESP, District of Rubiao Junior, Botucatu, Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of vancomycin change during HD, increasing the risk of subtherapeutic concentrations.
