Pharmacokinetics of isosorbide-5-nitrate during haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis
Abstract:
The pharmacokinetics of isosorbide-5-nitrate (IS-5-N) was studied in ten patients on haemodialysis (HD) after a single oral dose of 20 mg IS-5-N, and in six patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) after repeated oral doses of 3 X 20 mg IS-5-N. There was significant removal of IS-5-N from blood during HD; Cmax decreased by about 20%, AUC(0-8 h) by 30% and t1/2 by about 20% from 4.3 to 3.4 h, and plasma clearance was increased by 81 ml/min. No important loss of IS-5-N was observed in patients on CAPD.

Dialysis
Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
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...
