10 - 50 mL/min < 10 mL/min
All indications

2 g IV q8h*

2 g IV q12h 1 g IV q12h  

*2 g IV q6h may be considered for meningitis in select patients based on clinical judgement (e.g. obesity, young age, augmented renal clearance, etc), or in select resistant gram-negative infections in combination with ceftazidime-avibactam (infuse both over 3 hours).
If used in combination with ceftazidime-avibactam and dosing intervals are the same, simultaneous administration is preferred.

Dosing: Antimicrobial Dosing in Intermittent & Continuous Hemodialysis

Indication

Intermittent Hemodialysis

Continuous Hemodialysis
All Indications 2 g IV x1 now, then qPM 2 g IV q12h

Dialysis Notes

Intermittent HD assumes high-flux hemodialysis. CRRT assumes CVVHD with ultrafiltration rate 2L/h and residual native GFR < 10 mL/min.  For detailed view of dialysis dosing and evidence, see Dosing in Hemodialysis document.

Aztreonam lacks cross-reactivity with most other beta-lactams; however, most patients who have a recorded beta-lactam allergy can receive another beta-lactam through screening, test dosing, or skin testing. See Inpatient Allergy Guidelines
