Your gentamicin peak level is within the target range. For concentration-dependent aminoglycosides, the peak concentration relative to the MIC is the key determinant of bacterial killing.
Your gentamicin peak level is far below the therapeutic range. At this level, there is insufficient antibiotic concentration to effectively kill gram-negative bacteria. The infection is not being adequately treated.
Contact your doctor immediately. A dose increase is needed urgently.
Gentamicin peak: {{value}} {{unit}} — critically low (target: {{low}}–{{high}})Your gentamicin peak is below the target range for optimal bactericidal activity. Aminoglycosides are concentration-dependent antibiotics — higher peak concentrations (relative to MIC) correlate with better outcomes.
Discuss with your doctor. A dose increase may be needed to achieve adequate peak concentrations for effective killing of gram-negative organisms.
Gentamicin peak: {{value}} {{unit}} — subtherapeutic (target: {{low}}–{{high}})Your gentamicin peak level is at or just below the target range. For less serious infections or less resistant organisms, this may provide adequate peak/MIC ratio.
Discuss with your doctor based on the sensitivity of the infecting organism.
Gentamicin peak: {{value}} {{unit}} — borderline lowYour gentamicin peak level is within the target range. For concentration-dependent aminoglycosides, the peak concentration relative to the MIC is the key determinant of bacterial killing.
Continue current dosing. Monitor peak and trough levels regularly, along with kidney function.
Gentamicin peak: {{value}} {{unit}} — within therapeutic range ({{low}}–{{high}})Your gentamicin peak level sits in the optimal therapeutic window, providing excellent bactericidal activity while minimizing toxicity risk.
Continue current regimen with routine monitoring.
Gentamicin peak: {{value}} {{unit}} — at optimal levelYour gentamicin peak level is above the target range. While this increases bactericidal activity, it may also slightly increase the risk of toxicity, especially if trough levels are also elevated.
Monitor trough level closely. If the trough is also elevated, a dose or interval adjustment may be needed.
Gentamicin peak: {{value}} {{unit}} — borderline highYour gentamicin peak level is above the typical therapeutic range. While high peaks are sometimes intentionally used in extended-interval dosing, very high levels increase the risk of nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity.
Discuss with your doctor. The dose may need to be reduced. Ensure that the trough level is also being monitored.
Gentamicin peak: {{value}} {{unit}} — above therapeutic rangeA critically high gentamicin peak level places you at significant risk of both nephrotoxicity (acute kidney injury) and ototoxicity (cochlear and vestibular damage, potentially irreversible).
This is a medical emergency. Contact the medical team immediately. The dose should be reduced or the dosing interval extended. Close monitoring of kidney function and hearing is essential.
