title: [Evaluation of the capacity of the liver for phenazone biotransformation in patients with uremia on peritoneal dialysis].
abstract: This work aimed at establishing whether liver ability to biotransformation of drugs expressed by antipyrine kinetics is disturbed in peritoneally dialysed patients with end-stage renal failure. The investigations were carried out in 10 uraemic patients using the antipyrine test and comparing antipyrine kinetics with those obtained in 13 healthy individuals. At the time of investigations, standard clinical tests of liver function were normal and HBs antigen was absent in all patients. It was shown that peritoneally dialysed patients with end-stage renal failure had not significantly changed antipyrine elimination as compared with the group of healthy controls: t0.5 = 13.2 +/- 6.8 v. 11.8 +/- 8.1 h, plasma clearance = 50 +/- 30 v. 34 +/- 21 ml/min (x +/- SD). The obtained results indicate that antipyrine kinetics is within normal range in uraemic patients regularly dialysed suggesting cytochrome P-450 in microsomes not being markedly reduced.
