Abstract

Introduction: Vancomycin is a wide useable antibiotic against gram-positive bacteria species in different clinical setting particularly in Hemodialysis patients. Objectives: The present study aimed to assess the serum level of Vancomycin before and after Hemodialysis. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on patients who were hospitalized and medicated by Vancomycin with the loading dose of 1000 mg followed by the maintenance dose of 500 mg after each dialysis session every other day. All patients were dialyzed with a low-flux dialyzer membrane. Half an hour before and immediately after dialysis, 2 mL blood sample was taken and stored at-20° C until assaying the level of Vancomycin. Results: The average reduction in the serum level of Vancomycin was totally 17. 65 ± 1. 69%. The mean reduction in the serum level of Vancomycin was significantly higher in the patients aged higher than 60 years, as compared to other ones. But the level of drug was independent to gender or body mass index. Conclusion: Using low-flux dialyzer membranes, the average reduction in the serum level of Vancomycin is expected to be in the range of 12. 43% to 21. 56% that age was directly associated with the average reduction of the level of Vancomycin. Therefore, adjusting and monitoring the serum level of drug in old ages even in the cases of using low-flux dialyzer membranes is recommended.
