Ceftazidime is poorly bound to plasma proteins, is not metabolized and is excreted mostly by glomerular filtration. Its elimination half-life is about 1.5-2 hours, and their kinetics are modified by renal impairment. The dosage recommended in adult is 1 to 2 g 8-hourly, to be adjusted to the needs of individual cases. The interval between doses must be extended to 12 hours in patients with mild renal impairment and to 36-48 hours in those with severe renal failure. A supplementary dose of ceftazidime is required at the end of each haemodialysis session. In patients under chronic peritoneal dialysis, the loading dose (10 mg/kg) is followed by continuous administration of 5 mg/kg into each dialysis cavity.

D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
