Background Little information is available on the disposition of vancomycin during chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD) in children. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the disposition of vancomycin following intraperitoneal (IP) administration in children receiving short-dwell [ e.g., automated PD (APD)] and long-dwell [ e.g., continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD)] PD. Methods A 6-hour exchange containing vancomycin 500 mg/L, using an exchange volume of 1100 mL/m2 body surface area (BSA), was followed by 4-, 6-, and 8-hour antibiotic-free exchanges. The 8-hour exchange was followed by three to four 90-minute antibiotic-free exchanges. Serial blood and dialysis effluent samples were obtained and analyzed for vancomycin concentration by high-pressure liquid chromatography. Pharmacokinetic parameters were computed using noncompartmental methods. Results The bioavailability of vancomycin during a 6-hour IP exchange was 70% ± 5%, resulting in a delivered dose of 12.0 ± 1.8 mg/kg, and a 6-hour serum vancomycin concentration of 23.3 ± 7.2 μg/mL. Total body vancomycin clearance measured 10.72 ± 4.52 mL/minute/1.73 m2 BSA, while clearance attributable to PD measured 2.78 ± 1.08 mL/min/1.73 m2 BSA and accounted for 29% ± 11% of total vancomycin clearance. Dialysis clearance during long-dwell (CAPD) and short-dwell (APD) regimens was similar, measuring 2.46 ± 1.04 and 3.09 ± 1.28 mL/min/1.73 m2 BSA, accounting for 25% ± 13% and 32% ± 12% of total body clearance respectively. Conclusions Intraperitoneal absorption and dialysis clearance of vancomycin in children receiving PD are similar to those reported in adult dialysis patients. In contrast, total body clearance of vancomycin appears to be increased and the elimination half-life decreased in children, due to increased elimination by non-renal nondialysis routes. For intermittent IP vancomycin therapy in children with peritonitis, an IP load containing vancomycin 1000 mg/L (or 30 mg/kg), followed a single full-fill (1100 mL/m2 BSA) daily exchange, containing vancomycin 250 mg/L (or 7.5 mg/kg), from day 2 until the end of treatment will maintain a vancomycin dialysate concentration of >4 μg/mL.

ABSTRACT The pharmacokinetic characteristics of piperacillin sodium were studied in five volunteers undergoing on-line hemodiafiltration (HDF). The subjects were given 2 g of piperacillin sodium intravenously over 1 min and placed on on-line HDF for 4 h starting at 60 min after the piperacillin infusion. Noncompartmental models were employed for estimation of the pharmacokinetic parameters, and intradialytic piperacillin clearance was calculated by the recovery method. The mean volume of distribution and the elimination half-life were 0.27 ± 0.13 liter/kg (mean ± standard deviation) and 1.1 ± 0.6 h, respectively. The total body clearance of piperacillin was 0.19 ± 0.08 liter/h/kg. Piperacillin clearance through on-line HDF was 0.11 ± 0.06 liter/h/kg. The mean serum piperacillin concentration was 4.0 ± 1.9 μg/ml at the end of the 4-h on-line HDF session. The concentration of infused piperacillin recovered in the dialysate was 527 ± 236 mg (26.3% ± 11.8%). We suggest the replacement of 500 mg of piperacillin after each on-line HDF session.

Seven adult patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) received one dose of pefloxacin, a novel quinolone antibiotic, orally and intravenously on two separate occasions to characterize the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of the drug. Concentrations of both pefloxacin and its active metabolite N-desmethylpefloxacin (norfloxacin) were measured in serum and dialysate by HPLC. Half-life, total body clearance and peritoneal clearance were determined. The overall elimination half-life was 19.9h. Relative to the IV dose the bioavailability following oral administration of pefloxacin was 76%. The mean serum and dialysate concentrations were similar up to 24 h after the oral or IV dose. After a 6 h dwell time the dialysate concentration of pefloxacin was 2.24 mg/L which is above the MICgo for most bacteria responsible for peritonitis in CAPD patients. The peritoneal clearance of pefloxacin averaged 2.5 mL/min. Serum concentrations of the metabolite norfloxacin were less than 0.5 mg/L during the 24 h study period. We conclude that pefloxacin might be equally effective in the treatment of peritonitis of CAPD after oral or IV administration. Since the peritoneal clearance contributes insignificantly to the elimination of pefloxacin during CAPD, the proposed maintenance regimen of an oral or IV 400 mg dose/day seems to be a reasonable therapy for infections in CAPD patients.

Purpose. To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of acetazolamide (ACTZ) in peritoneal dialysis patients, ACTZ 500 mg was administered intravenously to 7 healthy subjects (HV) and 8 peritoneal dialysis patients (CAPD). Methods. Population PK/PD modeling was performed with ACTZ serum (total and unbound), urine and dialysate concentrations, intra-ocular pressure (IOP) and covariates. A multi-compartment PK model (accounting for non-linear protein binding) and an inhibitory Emax (maximal change in IOP) PD model were selected. Results. As expected, renal clearance (which almost equals total body clearance) was severely decreased in CAPD (1.2 vs 80.3 L/h) and the elimination half-life of total ACTZ was prolonged (20.6 vs 3.4 hours). The protein binding was significantly altered with a mean free fraction 4.2% in HV and 8.6% in CAPD. Moreover protein binding of ACTZ was concentration dependent in both HV and CAPD. Despite a higher free fraction of ACTZ, the Emax was lower in CAPD: 4.4±1.4 vs 7.4±2.8 mmHg. Conclusion. Both PK and PD are significantly altered in dialysis patients.

OBJECTIVE: To report the disposition of foscarnet in a patient undergoing peritoneal dialysis. CASE SUMMARY: A 34-year-old man with AIDS received foscarnet for the treatment of esophageal cytomegalovirus. We characterized the clearance of foscarnet in this patient during continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis (CCPD) and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). DISCUSSION: The foscarnet half-lives during CCPD and CAPD were 41.4 and 45.8 hours, respectively. These values are significantly greater than the half-life of 4.5 hours observed in patients with normal renal function and about half that reported in anuric patients undergoing hemodialysis during the interdialytic period. The CCPD and CAPD clearances of foscarnet were 5.8 and 4.5 mL/min, respectively; the CAPD clearances of creatinine and urea nitrogen were 4.1 and 6.0 mL/min, respectively. The patient's estimated total body clearance values of foscarnet during CCPD and CAPD were 9.8 and 8.8 mL/min, respectively. Thus, CCPD and CAPD augmented the patient's residual clearance of foscarnet by 145% and 105%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Since incremental increases in residual clearance of 30% or more generally will result in clinically significant changes in a drug's serum concentration, foscarnet dosage needs to be individualized for patients receiving peritoneal dialysis.

The influence of age on the disposition of theophylline was studied in 95 adult patients (nonsmokers) with bronchial asthma requiring oral theophylline therapy: 17 patients age ≥39 years, 50 patients age 40–59 years, and 28 patients < 60 years. A decrease was observed in total body clearance together with an increase in the elimination half-life of theophylline parallel to the advance in age of the patients. The apparent volume of distribution of theophylline was similar in the three groups of patients. According to the results obtained, recommendations are made regarding the dosage regimens of theophylline in elderly patients.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the pharmacokinetics and tolerance of ciprofloxacin after the administration of single intravenous doses of 200, 300, and 400 mg. DESIGN: Double-blind, three-period, randomized, crossover trial. SETTING: Private, university-affiliated, hospital-based, clinical research center. PATIENTS: Normal healthy male volunteers, 18–40 years of age. INTERVENTIONS: Subjects received 200-, 300-, and 400-mg single intravenous doses of ciprofloxacin via 30-minute infusions in random sequence. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Serum ciprofloxacin concentrations were determined by HPLC after each dose and the results were used to derive pharmacokinetic parameters. Tolerance was assessed by reported and observed adverse events, urine microscopic examinations for crystals, and examination of intravenous infusion sites. RESULTS: The mean area under the time curve (AUC) values displayed linearity with respect to the administered dose. No statistical differences were observed in total body clearance, steady-state volume of distribution, or elimination half-life with respect to dose administered. The mean total body clearance, steady-state volume of distribution, or elimination half-life ranged from 36 to 41 L/h, 146 to 169 L, and 3.5 to 3.7 h for the 200-, 300-, and 400-mg doses, respectively. Adverse effects, including venous irritation (four subjects) and crystalluria (two subjects), were mild and did not require withdrawal of any subject from the study. CONCLUSIONS: Intravenous ciprofloxacin in doses ranging from 200 to 400 mg demonstrated linear pharmacokinetics. These single doses were well tolerated, although cases of transient venous irritation and crystalluria were observed.

The present study was carried out to investigate disposition kinetics of moxifloxacin following single-dose intravenous (i.v.), intramuscular (i.m.), and subcutaneous (s.c.) administration at a dose rate of 5 mg/kg of body weight (b.wt.) in goats. Plasma samples collected after treatments were analyzed for drug concentration using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). After i.v. administration, distribution of the drug was rapid and wide as reflected by high steady-state volume of distribution. Drug elimination was relatively faster with a total body clearance of 0.59±0.03 L/h/kg. Following i.m. injection, the drug has shown the rapid and near-to-complete absorption with bioavailability of 98.20±3.96 per cent. The maximum plasma drug concentration (Cmax) of 1.21±0.04 μg/mL was attained at 1 h (Tmax). The drug was widely distributed as reflected by high apparent volume of distribution. The elimination half-life (t1/2β) of the drug was 6.26±0.08  h. Following s.c. administration, the drug was rapidly absorbed (Cmax: 1.16±0.02 μg/mL; tmax: 1 h) and slowly eliminated from the body. The elimination half-life and total body clearance (ClB) were 5.61±0.10 h and 0.60±0.03 L/h/kg, respectively. The bioavailability of moxifloxacin following s.c. administration was 90.44±3.96 per cent.

✓ Two patients requiring peritoneal dialysis were treated with epsilon-aminocaproic acid (EACA), an antifibrinolytic agent. Samples of serum and dialysate were assayed for EACA concentrations. Total body clearance, dialysis clearance, EACA half-life, and volume of distribution of EACA were calculated. Total body clearance of EACA was 26 ml/min, which is 25% of the drug clearance in patients with normal renal function. Our results suggest that patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis should receive 25% of the usual recommended dose of EACA. Dialysis clearance accounted for only 58% of total body clearance, suggesting an alternative route of elimination of EACA.

Hypothyroidism is a common disorder of small ruminants and is expected to alter the pharmacokinetics of drugs. Hypothyroidism was induced by feeding thiourea at the dose rate 50 mg.kg-1 daily for 28 days to goats. Disposition of lincomycin, after intravenous administration at dose rate 10 mg/kg, was investigated in hypothyroid goats to determine the potential dosage regimen against susceptible microorganisms. Blood samples were collected from 1 min to 24 h of drug administration. The drug was detected in plasma up to 8 h and lincomycin was rapidly distributed from blood to the tissue, as evidenced by the high value of the distribution coefficient (mean ± SEM) 12.3±1.09 h-1. The large Vd (1.78±0.18 L/kg) indicated vast tissue distribution of lincomycin in goats. The elimination half life, AUC and total body clearance were 3.99± 0.25 h, 33.2±1.71 ìg.h/mL and 0.31±0.02 L/h/kg, respectively. Based on results, lincomycin in hypothyroid goats is suggested to be repeated at 12 h interval for organisms sensitive to lincomycin having MIC up to 0.1 µg.ml-1.

Disposition of antimicrobials is known to be altered during disease conditions and fever is one of the common manifestations of bacterial infections in animals. The disposition of lincomycin (10 mg/kg, IV) during Echerichia coli endotoxin-induced fever in goats followed two compartment open model and drug was detected in plasma up to 8 h. The high AUC (39.5±6.21 mg.h/mL) indicated good antibacterial activity of lincomycin in goats. The volume of distribution and total body clearance were 3.35±0.45 L/kg and 0.28±0.03 L/h/kg, respectively. The long elimination half life 9.93± 2.83 h indicated persistence of drug for longer period in body. Lincomycin, is suggested to be repeated at 24 h interval for organisms sensitive to lincomycin having MIC up to 0.6 µg/mL for the treatment of bacterial infections manifested with fever in goats.
