Abstract

The pharmacokinetics of ceftizoxime (CZX) and of cefotaxime (CTX) were studied in five children and five adults after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Delayed clearance of CZX (clearance of 0.21 to 1.26 ml/min per kg [body weight]) and CTX (clearance of 0.40 to 1.49 ml/min per kg) occurred in 7 of the 10 OLT patients. We conclude that abnormal CZX and CTX clearance is common after OLT and may be associated with minimal change in serum creatinine.
