Clearance and Pharmacokinetics of Antibiotics With Different Protein-bound Levels in Renal Replacement Therapy

This prospective, single-center observational study is taken to evaluate the dialysis clearance and pharmacokinetics of antibiotics with three different protein-bound levels in patients receiving renal replacement therapy. As is known that the plasma protein binding rate affects the distribution, metabolism and elimination of the drug in the body, and is also an important factor affecting the removal during dialysis, the study selects meropenem, vancomycin and ceftriaxone, of which the protein-bound levels are respectively 2%, 55% and 85%, to represent three typical protein-bound levels. The primary dialysis methods being studied are intermittent hemodialysis(IHD) and hemodiafiltration(HDF). The dialysis pattern, the antibiotic choice and its dosage for each subject are made on clinical grounds. A total of 16 milliliters of blood and 60 milliliters of spent dialysate are collected from each subject for each dialysis pattern. The study will provide detailed information on the characteristics of the removal kinetics of the three antibiotics during dialysis, and evaluate whether the dosing regimens are the most appropriate to achieve therapeutic targets while minimizing the risk of toxicity.
