Reports from Ehime University describe recent advances in drug development

A report, "Estimation of the initial dose setting of vancomycin therapy with use of cystatin C as a new marker of renal function," is newly published data in Therapeutic Drug Monitoring. "In recent years, it has been suggested that the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can be predicted on the basis of serum cystatin C concentrations and that this measurement is more sensitive than serum creatinine concentration as a marker of renal function. In this study, to investigate the clinical utility of the initial dose setting of vancomycin by the population mean method with use of serum cystatin C as a marker of renal function, we compared the correlations between measured vancomycin...
