- An adult male patient (52 yr, 75kg) whose serum creatinine is 2.4mg% is to be given gentamicin sulfate for a confirmed gram-negative infection. The usual dose of gentamicin in adult patients with normal renal function is 1 mg/kg every 8 hrs by multiple IV bolus injections. Gentamicin sulfate (Garamycin®) is available in 2-mL vials containing 40 mg gentamicin sulfate per mL. Calculate:
a. The creatinine clearance in this patient by the Cockcroft and Gault method and
b. The appropriate dosage regimen of gentamicin sulfate for this patient in mg and mL.

Her past medical history showed that she is a chronic kidney disease(CKD). Her renal function test lab result was not immediately available at the time of her admission to the hospital. She was going to be started on vancomycin 1 g IV every 12 hours for the severe pneumonia. After a loading-dose (1 g IV), two blood samples were taken from MK at 8 and 10 hours during the elimination phase (β-phase) and the plasma concentrations were found to be 14.88 and 14.21 mg/mL, respectively. Based on the concentrations given above and by referring the elimination rate constant table and/or the nomogram, calculate the following:a) Adjusted dose of vancomycin, while keeping the dosing interval constant. b) Adjusted dosing interval of vancomycin (τ), while keeping the dose constant.A solution containing 500,000 units of polymyxin B sulfate in 10 mL of sterile water for injection is added to 250 mL of D5W to make a total volume of 260 mL.
