Under stable kidney function, creatinine is produced at a constant rate by the body depending on the absolute amount of muscle mass [57]. However, analysis of creatinine clearance is crucial to examine renal function, especially in patients with chronic kidney disease [58]. G...

[59] found that one-third of the patients in ICU had an amikacinCmax< 60 mg/L with the recommended dose of 15 mg/kg of total body weight. This suggests the need for dose optimization based on creatinine clearance, total body weight and positive 24-h fluid balance in order to reach ...
