title: Relationship between renal function and elimination kinetics of pindolol in man.
abstract: In view of a previous report suggesting an increased metabolism of the beta-blocking agent pindolol with decreasing renal function in man, the relationship between renal function and the elimination kinetics of pindolol has been re-examined. There is a statistically significant positive correlation between the renal clearances of pindolol and creatinine but there is no correlation between the non-renal clearance of pindolol and the renal clearance of creatinine. Thus, there is no evidence of an increased metabolism (non-renal clearance) of pindolol with decreasing renal function.
