Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Ampicillin / sulbactam
Patients are randomized to the ampicillin / sulbactam arm. Pharmacokinetic samples will be taken during multiple hemodialysis sessions.
Patients receive ampicillin / sulbactam due to clinical necessity
Blood will be sampled at multiple timepoints during multiple hemodialysis sessions
EXPERIMENTAL: Amoxicillin / clavulanic acid
Patients are randomized to the amoxicillin / clavulanic acid arm. Pharmacokinetic samples will be taken during multiple hemodialysis sessions.
Blood will be sampled at multiple timepoints during multiple hemodialysis sessions
Patients receive amoxicillin / clavulanic acid due to clinical necessity
