title: The effect of hemodialysis on omeprazole plasma concentrations in the anuric patient: a case report.
abstract: Omeprazole, a drug suppressing gastric acidity secretion was given intravenously at a dose of 40 mg/day to an anuric patient. Pharmacokinetics data indicate that without hemodialysis treatment, the dose can be reduced by 40% without any danger of loss of effectiveness. During hemodialysis however, the full dose must be given. Controlled long-term studies will be required to determine the exact dose for continued treatment.
