Abstract

Serum amikacin concentrations were compared in infected renal transplant recipients that were compared in infected renal transplant recipients that were dosed using a creatinine-based nomogram (group I) or an individual computer-assisted pharmacokinetic dosing method (group II). A total of 30 treatment courses were administered. Mean postinfusion peak levels were 22 microgram/ml in group I and 23.4 microgram/ml in group II. Mean serum trough levels were 8.8 microgram/ml and 5.5 microgram/ml in groups I and II, respectively. Both peak and trough serum levels were significantly more often in the acceptable therapeutic (peak 20-32 microgram/ml) and nontoxic (through less than 10 microgram/ml) ranges in group 11 patients. Seventy-seven per cent of group II and 38% of group I peak levels were in the therapeutic range, while 87% of group II and 70% of group I trough levels were less than 10 microgram/ml. Ototoxicity developed with similar frequency in both groups and occurred significantly more often with a peak level greater than 32 microgram/ml. Declining renal function, usually as a result of allograft rejection, occurred in seven (44%) group I and only three (25%) group II patients but could not be exclusively related to amikacin...Continue Reading
