摘要
We evaluated the relationship between gentamicin pharmacokinetics and glomerular filtration rate in newborn infants to estimate the appropriate interval of administration in neonates with renal insufficiency. Gentamicin half-life (Gt1/2) could be predicted from plasma creatinine concentration (P(Cr)) (r = 0.78); the prediction was minimally but significantly increased (r = 0.81) by adding postconceptional age to a multiple regression analysis. Infants with a postconceptional age of 29 weeks or more and a P(Cr) of 1 mg/dl or more had significantly greater trough and peak gentamicin levels than those with a P(Cr) less than 1 mg/dl. If gentamicin is indicated in a patient with renal insufficiency, the interval of administration should be 2-3 Gt1/2, which can be estimated from P(Cr) (Gt1/2 = 2.0 + 7.7 P(Cr)). The interval can then be adjusted according to peak and trough gentamicin levels.
