This paper is a review of the literature describing drug disposition in
patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) during either intermittent
peritoneal dialysis (IPD) or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).
The removal of drugs by peritoneal dialysis and drug absorption after
intraperitoneal adminis tration are examined. Detailed pharmacokinetic data
extracted from the literature are presented in tabular form and are
accompanied by specific dosage recommendations for dialyzed patients. Accepted
literature values for parameters reflecting the effects of ESRD alone are also
included. The construction of a rational dosage regimen with emphasis on the
use of the aminoglycosides and the cephalosporins is described.
