Summary
This study looks at whether a newer kidney function test (Cystatin C) can help doctors give the right dose of two common antibiotics (meropenem and cefepime) to critically ill ICU patients with drug-resistant infections. About 200 adults will participate to see if this test works better than the standard one. The goal is to improve treatment and reduce side effects.
