RESUMO
The pharmacology of cefamandole in seven patients with stable renal insufficiency and in eight patients undergoing hemodialysis was determined. All patients had creatinine clearances less than 5 ml/min. The half-life of cefamandole in those patients with stable chronic renal failure was 7.7 ± 2.2 h. The mean venous level 1 h after intravenous injection of a 1-g dose was 85.3 ± 32.0 μg/ml. The mean venous half-life of cefamandole during hemodialysis was 6.1 h. The venous serum level after 5.5 of hemodialysis was 50.4 ± 20.8 μg/ml. The mean coefficient of extraction was 0.155, and the mean clearance was 34.7 ml/min. The time interval between doses of cefamandole administered intravenously should be lengthened to 24 h in the presence of stable renal failure. No major change in dosage schedule is necessary for patients undergoing dialysis.
