Elimination
Eliminated primarily by glomerular
filtration in the kidney
 Half-life
 Adults: 2-4 hours
 Children: 0.5-2.5/Neonates: 2-9 hours
 Prolonged in renal insufficiency
 Removed by hemodialysis (~ 10% per
hour); removed less by peritoneal
dialysis

Tri-phasic Elimination
Alpha – distribution of drug from blood to
tissues
Beta – elimination of drug through the
kidneys
Gamma – very slow release of drug from
tissue binding sites (kidneys, ears);
concentration not detectable by current
assays

Aminoglycoside Blood Draws

Peak-30 minutes after end of infusion
(dose usually infused over 30 minutes)

Trough-immediately prior to dose (in
reality most schedule the trough 30
minutes prior to next dose)

2) Determine dosing weight
3) Estimate volume of distribution (Vd)
4) Estimate creatinine clearance
5) Estimate elimination rate constant (ke)
6) Estimate serum half-life (t1/2)
7) Calculate dosing interval

Patient Case #1
A 35 year old WF is admitted to the
hospital with a diagnosis acute
pyelonephritis. The physician in charge
orders ampicillin 1g iv q4h and gentamicin
(to be dosed by pharmacy). Her TBW is
70 kg and height is 160 cm. Serum
creatinine is 0.7 mg/dl on the day of
admission.

2-Dosing Weight



Ideal body weight (IBW)
IBW (males) =
50 kg + 2.3 (ht-inches > 60 in)
50 kg + 0.9 (ht-cm >150 cm)
IBW (females) = 45.5 kg + 2.3 (ht-inches > 60 in)
45.5 kg + 0.9 (ht-cm >150 cm)
Adjusted body weight (ABW) - if TBW > 20% over
IBW
ABW= IBW + [(TBW-IBW) 0.4]
If TBW < IBW, use TBW for all calculations

Estimate based on population equation
Dettli Equation:
ke (h-1) = 0.00293 (CrCl) + 0.014 (gent/tobra)

8-Calculate Dose
Dose = (Cpmaxdesired)(ke)(Vd)(ti)(1-e-keτ )
(1-e-keti)

Serum Drug Concentration Evaluation
1) Plot measured concentrations on graph
2) Determine patient’s true PK parameters: ke, t1/2, Cpmax,
Cpmin, Vd
3) Adjust dose and/or interval to achieve desired serum
drug concentrations
Cpmax = extrapolated peak
Cpmin = extrapolated trough, true trough
Used to
calculate Vd
Clinical peak=1/2 hour after end of infusion (this is our
targeted peak for efficacy determination)

∆ t = τ – infusion time – time from
measured trough to true trough – time
from measured peak to true peak
Extrapolated peak occurs at end of
infusion, t = difference between ext.

e-(ke)(t)
Clinical peak = Cpmaxe –ke(0.5)



Renal/ototoxicity associated with sustained
trough > 2 mcg/mL
Repeat trough level every 5-7 days
depending on:
 changes in patient’s renal function
 changes in SCr
 changes in urinary output
Monitor for ototoxicity:
 hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo

Aminoglycoside Pulse Dosing

Rationale:
 Concentration-dependent killing
 Post-antibiotic effect
 Period of continued bacterial growth
suppression despite serum levels less
than MIC of organism
 Tissue penetration
 Toxicity related to sustained elevated
troughs
 Renal accumulation is saturable

Aminoglycoside Pulse Dosing




Gentamicin and tobramycin
 7 mg/kg based on dosing weight
Amikacin
 15-20 mg/kg based on dosing weight
Obtain random level and apply to nomogram
Repeat random level every 5-7 days (based on
clinical judgment)
 More frequent if Scr rises ≥ 0. 5 mg/dL above
baseline

27
Once-a-day Aminoglycosides
These values are double for amikacin.

Clinical Pearls





Carefully assess sampling and dose administration times for
accuracy
Don’t allow sample to sit for extended periods of time at room
temperature
Review nursing notes to identify:
 problems with administration (IV access, patient off the floor)
 changes in urine output
Visit the patient to assess:
 accuracy of physical description (height, weight, age)
 disease resolution (WBC count, fever)
Monitor culture and sensitivity results to determine
appropriateness of aminoglycoside
