Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Measuring pharmakokinetecs of ampicillin / sulbactam and amoxicillin / clavulanic acid during haemodialysis;Secondary Objective: Comparison of development of liver enzyme serum levels during therapy with both drug combinations;Primary end point(s): Pharmacokinetics of ampicillin / sulbactam and amoxicillin / clavulanic acid in haemodialysis: area under the curve (AUC), half-life (t1/2), maximum and minimum plasma concentration (Cmax, Cmin), total body clearance (Cltot), hemofiltration clearance (ClHF), sieving coefficient and the elimination fraction.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3.5 and 4 hours post infusion on day hemodialysis day 2 (HD2), and 0, 0.5 and 1 hour post infusion on HD3 to 7 | — |
