The pharmacokinetic parameters of amikacin and ceftazidime were assessed in four patients undergoing hemofiltration for septic shock. The parameters were assessed during hemofiltration and in the interim period. The concentration-time profiles of these two drugs in plasma, urine, and ultrafiltrate were investigated after intravenous perfusion (30 min). In all cases a 1-g dose of ceftazidime was administered; for amikacin, the dosage regimen was adjusted according to the patient's amikacin levels (250 to 750 mg). Concentrations of drug in all samples were assayed by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection for ceftazidime and by enzyme multiplied immunoassay for amikacin. The elimination half-life (t1/2) and the total clearance of amikacin ranged from 31.1 to 138.2 h and from 5.4 to 8.9 ml/min, respectively, during the interhemofiltration period in anuric patients. Hemofiltration substantially decreased the t1/2 (3.5 +/- 0.49 h) and increased the total clearance (89.5 +/- 11.8 ml/min). The hemofiltration clearance of amikacin represented 71% of the total clearance, and the hemofiltration process removed, on average, 60% of the dose. During hemofiltration, the elimination t1/2 of ceftazidime (2.8 +/- 0.69 h) was greatly reduced and the total clearance increased (74.2 +/- 11.2 ml/min) compared with those in the interhemofiltration period (9 to 43.7 h and 7.4 to 16.8 ml/min, respectively). About 55% of the administered dose was recovered in the filtrate, and the hemofiltration clearance of ceftazidime was 46 +/- 14.3 ml/min. A redistribution phenomenon (rebound) in the amikacin and ceftazidime concentrations in plasma (35 and 28%, respectively) was reported after hemofiltration in two patients. The MICs for 90% of the most important pathogens were exceeded by the concentrations of the two drugs in plasma during the whole treatment of these patients.
