Vancomycin removal by dialysis uses methods that differ in type of dialysis membrane, dialysis fluxes and duration, ultrafiltration rate and Kt/Vurea (K = dialyser urea clearance, t = time on dialysis and V = total body water) in case of nephrotoxicity. We applied continuous venous‐venous haemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) to treat a paediatric case of vancomycin nephrotoxicity caused by high serum trough concentrations.
