Tobramycin and Gentamicin Concentrations in the Serum of Normal and Anephric Patients

RESUMO
The serum half-life of tobramycin was found to be the same as that of gentamicin in patients with similar renal function. The values ranged from 2 hr in normal volunteers to 53.4 hr in anephric patients. Both drugs were readily removed from the serum by the Kiil artificial kidney, with a 70% reduction in serum concentrations during a 12-hr dialysis period.
