Hemodialysis clearance of cimetidine. 1978

N D Vaziri, and R L Ness, and C H Barton

Hemodialysis clearance of cimetidine was determined in three patients and was found to range between 41.34 to 75.91 ml/min. Notwithstanding its substantial dialyzability, the amount of cimetidine removed by four hours of hemodialysis constituted only 8% to 14% of the administered dose. Accordingly, major dose adjustment on the days of dialysis treatment, as suggested in the available literature, may not be necessary.
