Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Because the dialyzability of acetazolamide is not known, we undertook a study to determine the in vivo dialysance of this drug and found it to average 22 ml per minute. The quantity of the drug removed by four hours of dialysis was approximately 30% of the dose administered intravenously one half hour before dialysis. Accordingly, considerable amounts of the drug are removed by dialysis, despite its high intraerythrocytic distribution and plasma protein binding properties. Therefore, hemodialysis may be effective in the management of acetazolamide overdose, particularly when complicated by the presence of renal failure. The dialysance can vary under different dialyzing conditions. An acetazolamide/urea nitrogen extraction ratio of 0.16 established in this study can be used to predict the acetazolamide dialysance in various dialyzing conditions.
