pharmacokinetics of Doripenem during CVVHDF(intensive care patients continuous venovenous haemodiafiltration), MARS(extracorporeal liver assist device, using a hollow fiber dialysis column in which blood of the patient is dialyzed across an albumin coated membrane, while at the same time maintaining a constant flow of albumin rich dialysate in the extracapillaray compartment) and intermittent hemodialysis.
