Abstract:
The results of endogenous renal clearances of 3-methylhistidine and histidine in twelve patients with normal and decreased renal functions are reported. Differences in the renal handling of the amino acids have been established. 3-methylhistidine showed a hyperbolic relationship between serum concentration and inulin clearance: histidine a linear relationship. The percentage tubular reabsorption of 3-methylhistidine was found to be about half that of histidine. The possible use of the measurement of serum 3-methylhistidine concentration as an index of renal insufficiency is discussed.

Factors Affecting Renal Clearance: Renal Impairment
One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...
Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...
