Infections During Organ Replacement Therapy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Multiple-dose Pharmacokinetics of Doripenem During Continuous Venovenous Hemodiafiltration and Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System in ICU Patients and During Hemodialysis in Longterm Hemodialysis Patients.
The study is conducted to investigate the pharmacokinetics of Doripenem during CVVHDF (Continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration), MARS (Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System) and intermittent hemodialysis.
