Abbreviations and definitions (further information in Item S1): AUC24h, area under the curve calculated by numerical integration over 24 h; CLDial observed, observed dialytic clearance, or difference between concentration entering the dialyzer vs that leaving it, multiplied by blood flow, divided by concentration entering the dialyzer; CLDial predicted, predicted dialytic clearance, or product of blood flow, fraction unbound, and blood-plasma concentration ratio; CLNR, nonrenal clearance or CLTot/F multiplied by hepatic extraction ratio; CLR, renal clearance; CLTot, total clearance; E, extraction coefficient, or observed dialytic clearance divided by blood flow; F, bioavailability; t1/2, half-life; VSS, sum of central and peripheral volumes of distribution.

a

At the end of HCO dialysis.

b

Based on the relation AUC:Dose/(CL/F).
