Patients with severe traumatic brain injury and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage with augmented renal clearance are at risk of not achieving target levetiracetam plasma concentrations. We suggest dose titration guided by measured creatinine clearance, and/or, therapeutic drug monitoring if available, to minimize the risk of seizures.
