Chloramphenicol hemodialysis clearance

R A Blouin, W G Erwin, M P Dutro

    Therapeutic Drug Monitoring
    |January 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Hemodialysis minimally impacts chloramphenicol levels in patients with kidney failure. Routine dosage adjustments for this antibiotic are not typically necessary during dialysis.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacokinetics
    • Nephrology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic requiring careful dosing in patients with impaired renal function.
    • Hemodialysis is a common treatment for end-stage renal disease, potentially affecting drug clearance.
    • Altered protein binding can influence drug efficacy and toxicity, especially in renal impairment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the dialysis clearance of chloramphenicol in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
    • To assess changes in plasma protein binding of chloramphenicol during hemodialysis.
    • To evaluate the clinical significance of these pharmacokinetic changes for chloramphenicol dosing.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of predialysis, intradialysis, and postdialysis plasma samples for chloramphenicol concentrations.
    • Measurement of dialysis clearance rates for chloramphenicol.
    • Determination of plasma protein binding percentages before and after hemodialysis.

    Main Results:

    • Slow decline in plasma chloramphenicol levels during hemodialysis.
    • Measured dialysis clearance rates of 21.2 ml/min and 24.2 ml/min.
    • Reduced plasma protein binding of chloramphenicol post-hemodialysis (from ~40-44% to ~25-35%).

    Conclusions:

    • Hemodialysis demonstrates a limited capacity to significantly reduce plasma chloramphenicol concentrations.
    • The observed alterations in protein binding during hemodialysis may not necessitate routine chloramphenicol dose adjustments.
    • Further investigation into the clinical implications of altered protein binding is warranted.
