| Main Objective: Primary objective. Describe the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of colistin, determining the drug levels in the plasma compartment of critically ill patients admitted to intensive care, suffering from serious infections that require the use of this drug as well as continuous renal replacement therapy.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives. In addition, we will evaluate: 1) the extent of colistin removal by continuous renal replacement therapy, 2) the clinical and microbiological response, 3) the emergence of resistant pathogens, 4) the rate of Clostridium difficile infections and 5) any fungal colonization.;Primary end point(s): Colimycin plasma levels after IV infusion;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 0 - 12 hours | — |
