title: Prolonged action of enoximone in renal failure.
abstract: Enoximone was administered on two separate occasions to a 37-year-old woman with renal failure secondary to thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Plasma concentrations of enoximone and its principal metabolite, enoximone sulphoxide, were measured over a 9-day period. As renal function improved the rate of elimination of enoximone sulphoxide increased. The duration of effect of enoximone may be prolonged in patients with renal failure.
