Moxifloxacin is an 8-methoxy quinolone with a broad range of activity against clinically important pathogens. Therefore it is frequently administered in severe respiratory tract infections. Continuous venovenous haemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) is an important extracorporeal renal replacement therapy for intensive care patients suffering from sepsis and multiple organ failure. The aim of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics of intravenous moxifloxacin in anuric critically ill patients undergoing CVVHDF.
