    Abstract:
    The kinetics of aminoglycosides (amikacin, netilmycin, gentamicin, tobramycin) were investigated in patients with end-stage renal disease who were on systemic hemodialysis. Their decrease in the blood revealed in pre-dialysis and dialysis periods was exponential. After dialysis termination there was a gradual aminoglycoside increase as compared to the end-dialysis period, which was of linear character and depended on the degree of these agents' dialysis clearance. The cause of the phenomenon is likely to be higher aminoglycoside blood elimination rate than their entering the blood from tissues. A method is proposed to calculate an additional dose of aminoglycosides, taking into account their higher concentrations in the postdialysis period, under permanent monitoring of their blood levels.
