Popis: In recent years, it has been suggested that the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can be predicted on the basis of serum cystatin C concentrations and that this measurement is more sensitive than serum creatinine concentration as a marker of renal function. In this study, to investigate the clinical utility of the initial dose setting of vancomycin by the population mean method with use of serum cystatin C as a marker of renal function, we compared the correlations between measured vancomycin concentrations and predicted vancomycin concentrations based on serum cystatin C or serum creatinine concentrations in elderly (>/=65 years old) and nonelderly (
