Single-dose ceftriaxone kinetics in functionally anephric patients

Abstract
The disposition profile of ceftriaxone was studied in 12 functionally anephric patients (creatinine clearance FNR) identical to those in healthy adults and only minor increases in their biologic t½(β) compared to normal (12 and 8 hr). These patients would require no dose adjustments in their dosing regimen. Two of the patients exhibited decreased ClFNR values and increased t½(α) of 20 and 34 hr. Anephric patients with impaired nonrenal elimination would require minor dose adjustments. Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (1983) 33, 633–641; doi:10.1038/clpt.1983.86
