Cefamandole kinetics in uremic patients undergoing hemodialysis.

A single intravenous 15 mg/kg dose of cefamandole was given to 6 patients in chronic renal failure before hemodialysis, and 3 were examined during an interdialysis period. Mean cefamandole clearance by hemodialysis was 24 +/- 12 ml/min; 35 +/- 15% of the dose was recovered in the dialysate. The cefamandole half-life (1 1/2) on dialysis was 4.0 +/- 0.29 hr; off dialysis it was 13.9 +/- 4.2 hr. High urine concentrations of cefamandole in these patients suggests usefulness in urinary tract infection.

Removal of phenytoin by hemodialysis in uremic patients.

The removal of phenytoin by hemodialysis was determined in seven uremic patients. Four patients were receiving phenytoin sodium for therapeutic purposes; three received one dose each intravenously to quantitate its disposition in uremia. The drug was measured in whole blood, plasma, saliva, and dialysate. Only 2% to 4% of the intravenous dose was recovered in the dialysate. Phenytoin clearance by dialysis was 7 to 14 ml/min; plasma clearance was 53 to 133 ml/min. Since hemodialysis contributes little toward shortening to 11-to-18-hour half-life of phenytoin in the uremic patients, no supplemental dose is necessary for uremic patients undergoing hemodialysis.
