Summary:

      Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 5 (CKD5) patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis are at an
      increased risk for developing bloodstream infections. Vancomycin is traditionally used as
      first-line therapy for treating these infections, but the emergence of less-susceptible
      bacterial strains necessitates the consideration of alternative antibiotic therapy.
      Telavancin is a new antibiotic that has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against
      gram-positive bacteria, including vancomycin-intermediate staphylococcus aureus. While dosing
      recommendations for telavancin are available for patients with normal kidney function, there
      are no published recommendations for CKD5 patients receiving hemodialysis. A pharmacokinetic
      study is needed to characterize the pharmacokinetic parameters of telavancin in these
      patients to determine the extent of drug removal by hemodialysis and to establish dosing
      recommendations for CKD5 patients on maintenance hemodialysis.
