title: Effect of decreased renal function on the pharmacokinetics of ceftazidime.
abstract: The pharmacokinetics of ceftazidime after a 1-g bolus dose were studied in 11 subjects, with creatinine clearances ranging from 113 to 6 ml/min. Concentrations of ceftazidime in serum were determined by microbiological assay. These data were fitted to a two-compartment open model, and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated. Correlation of ceftazidime clearance with creatinine clearance was excellent (r = 0.99).
