摘 要:BACKGROUND Vancomycin is the most commonly used drug for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus *** empirical clinical doses of vancomycin based on non-obese patients may not be optimal for obese *** SUMMARY This study reports a case of vancomycin dosing adjustment in an obese patient(body mass index 78.4 kg/m2)with necrotizing fasciitis of the scrotum and left lower extremity accompanied with acute renal *** adjustment was performed based on literature review and factors that influence pharmacokinetic parameters are *** results of the blood drug concentration monitoring confirmed the successful application of our dosing adjustment strategy in this obese *** body weight is an important consideration for vancomycin administration in obese patients,which affects the volume of distribution and clearance of *** alterations of pharmacokinetic parameters dictate that vancomycin should be dose-adjusted when applied to obese *** the same time,the pathophysiological status of patients,such as renal function,which also affects the dose adjustment of the patient,should be *** Monitoring vancomycin blood levels in obese patients is critical to help adjust the dosing regimen to ensure that vancomycin concentrations are within the effective therapeutic range and to reduce the incidence of renal injury.
