[Pharmacokinetics of sisomicin during hemosorption and hemodialysis].

The effect of hemosorption and hemodialysis on the pharmacokinetics of sisomicin was studied in 17 patients with acute and chronic renal insufficiency. The value of the antibiotic extraction coefficient in hemosorption was almost 2 times higher than that in hemodialysis. In patients on hemosorption, extracorporeal elimination of the antibiotic was of the saturation nature. It was characterized by systematic diminishing of the extraction coefficient, while in patients on hemodialysis, it did not depend on the time (the value of the extraction coefficient was constant). In this connection it is recommended that the rate of diminishing of the extraction coefficient in hemosorption be estimated. Since sisomicin is rapidly absorbed by the column it is not advisable to administer sisomicin to patients before hemosorption.
