Removal of vancomycin administered during dialysis by a high ‐flux dialyzer

Discussion: When using a polyarylethersulfone, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and polyamide high‐flux HD membrane with a 24R Polyflux dialyzer, vancomycin can be administered during the last hour of dialysis if the dose that is prescribed for intra‐dialysis dosing is empirically increased to account for intra‐dialytic drug removal.
