Vancomycin Trough Levels: Cause or Result of Acute Kidney Injury?
clearance of vancomycin to the clearance of the gold standard glomerular filtration rate (GFR) marker inulin is 0.89 in normal volunteers at steady state with endogenous creatinine as a filtration marker the ratio is 0.79 [5] . Therefore, the vancomycin clearance is a better GFR marker than is the creatinine clearance. Thus the interpretation of trough levels needs to be based on the renal func...
متن کاملElevated Vancomycin Trough Concentration: Increased Efficacy and/or Toxicity?
Vancomycin susceptibility of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has been changed over time and its average minimum inhibitory concentration increased from 1.5 to 1.75 mg/L. A recently published guideline by the American Society of Health Pharmacist recommended a daily dose of 15-20 mg/kg every 8 to 12 hours of vancomycin to achieve a trough concentration between 15-20 mg/L for treatmen...

متن کاملDifferent Vancomycin Immunoassays Contribute to the Variability in Vancomycin Trough Measurements in Neonates
Substantial interassay variability (up to 20%) has been described for vancomycin immunoassays in adults, but the impact of neonatal matrix is difficult to quantify because of blood volume constraints in neonates. However, we provide circumstantial evidence for a similar extent of variability. Using the same vancomycin dosing regimens and confirming similarity in clinical characteristics, vancom...
متن کاملTrough Concentrations of Vancomycin in Patients Undergoing Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
To investigate the appropriateness of the current vancomycin dosing strategy in adult patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), between March 2013 and November 2013, patients who were treated with vancomycin while on ECMO were enrolled. Control group consisted of 60 patients on vancomycin without ECMO, stayed in medical intensive care unit during the same study period and with t...
