Population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of linezolid-induced thrombocytopenia in hospitalized patients

摘要

AimsThrombocytopenia is among the most important adverse effects of linezolid treatment. Linezolid-induced thrombocytopenia incidence varies considerably but has been associated with impaired renal function. We investigated the pharmacodynamic mechanism (myelosuppression or enhanced platelet destruction) and the role of impaired renal function (RF) in the development of thrombocytopenia.
