Measuring Creatinine Clearance Is the Most Accurate Way for Calculating the Proper Continuous Infusion Meropenem Dose for Empirical Treatment of Severe Gram-Negative Infections among Critically Ill Patients

Measuring Creatinine Clearance Is the Most Accurate Way for Calculating the Proper Continuous Infusion Meropenem Dose for Empirical Treatment of Severe Gram-Negative Infections among Critically Ill Patients

Assessment of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is necessary for dose adjustments of beta-lactam that are excreted by the kidneys, such as meropenem. The aim of this study was to compare the daily dose of 24 h-continuous infusion (CI) meropenem when GFR was calculated by means of measured creatinine...
