Mid-dosing interval concentration is important for polymyxin B exposure and acute kidney injury in critically ill patients.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to evaluate the association between polymyxin B (PMB) exposure and acute kidney injury (AKI) and analyze the risk factors for PMB-induced AKI in critically ill patients. Plasma concentrations of PMB were determined using an ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer in intensive care unit patients who were administered PMB. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify risk factors. A receiver operating characteristic curve was constructed to assess the discriminant power of the factors and to identify the cutoff value for AKI. The white blood cell count and estimated area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of patients administered PMB were independent risk factors for PMB-induced AKI, where AUC were calculated using a first-ord
