Dosing: Antimicrobial Dosing in Intermittent & Continuous Hemodialysis

Indication Intermittent Hemodialysis Continuous Hemodialysis*
Oropharyngeal Infection 100 mg IV/PO x1 now, then post-HD 200 mg IV/PO q24h
Esophageal Infection 200 mg IV/PO x1 now, then post-HD 400 mg IV/PO q24h
Severe Infections

400 mg IV/PO x1 now, then post-HD

 

800-1200 mg IV/PO per day, divided q12-24h

*Data suggests that fluconazole clearance in patients receiving CVVHD is higher than in patients with normal renal function, necessitating use of higher dosing. These recommendations have not been evaluated for other continuous renal replacement modalities (ex. CVVH) and may not apply. 

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.
