title: [Gentamicin level in the prostate and its pharmacokinetics in patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy].
abstract: The study involved 15 male patients with periurethral prostatic adenoma without complete anuresis. The patients were given 80 mg of gentamicin intramuscularly one day before surgery and 80 mg in a one-hour infusion immediately before an operation. Gentamicin blood concentrations were measured. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated and dosage schemes for each patient basing on the antibiotic blood levels. Gentamicin levels in removed adenomas were also determined. Adenomas weighed between 18.0 and 45.8 grams while gentamicin concentration ranged from 1.31 to 3.8 micrograms/mL. It was found that gentamicin concentration in adenomas depend upon their weight. Moreover, pharmacokinetic parameters of this antibiotic exert negligible effect on its levels in adenoma.
