Study aim
-
Evaluation of prevalence of Augmented renal clearance (ARC) and serum concentration of Meropenem with two different dosing regimens in patients with ARC
-
Design
-
Pre-post intervention, randomized, open label clinical trial
-
Settings and conduct
-
On the first day of the study, patients will be evaluated according to Augmented renal clearance (ARC) and Augmented renal clearance in trauma intensive Care (ARCTIC) scoring systems and for patients who categorized as high-risk based on these systems, 12-hour creatinine clearance will be measured on days 0, 3, 7,10 and 14. Subjects with creatinine clearance 130 ml/min and above will be recruited. For patients who will be treated with meropenem 3g daily (1 gram three times a day), based on physician in charge decision, after 24 hours, blood samples will be drawn, one hour after end of the infusion (peak concentration) and half an hour before receiving the next dose (trough concentration), in order to measure the meropenem serum concentration.Then the dosage adjustment will be done and will increase to 6g daily (2 grams three times a day). Next set of same blood samples will be drawn 24 hours after dose change to measure new peak and trough meropenem serum concentrations.
