Tested in two peritoneal dialysis solutions: (1) Dianeal with dextrose 2.5% and (2) Dianeal with dextrose 4.25%, both with heparin sodium 0.5 to 14.3 units/mL. Variable compatibility results have been reported for this combination depending on the vancomycin hydrochloride concentration and the peritoneal dialysis solution.

Variable activity depending on the specific peritoneal dialysis solution used. No antibiotic activity was found when vancomycin hydrochloride was added to the dextrose-containing peritoneal dialysis solutions Dianeal PD4 and Physioneal 40. The best activity was found in Nutrineal PD4 and to a lesser extent Extraneal, although the activity was still lower than in the activity in a growth-promoting medium used as a control.
|
Antibiotic concentrations tested were 1 to 8 times the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the antibiotic. Four Baxter peritoneal dialysis solutions used in this testing: 1. Dianeal PD4 (lactate buffered with dextrose 1.36%) 2. Physioneal 40 (lactate and bicarbonate buffered with dextrose 1.36%) 3. Nutrineal PD4 (lactate buffered with amino acids) 4. Extraneal (lactate buffered containing icodextrin) Human serum albumin was added to a concentration of 2 mg/mL and pH was adjusted to 7.4 with sodium hydroxide to simulate and 4- to 6-hour dwell. Variable compatibility results have been reported for this combination depending on the vancomycin hydrochloride concentration and the peritoneal dialysis solution.
