title: A nonradioactive iothalamate method for measuring glomerular filtration rate and its use to study the renal handling of cibenzoline.
abstract: A high-pressure liquid chromatographic method was developed to measure nonradioactive iothalamate in serum and urine for use in estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This method was used to study the renal handling of cibenzoline, an experimental antiarrhythmic drug. The mean cibenzoline clearance was 3.5 +/- 2.5 (SD) times the glomerular filtration rate. The clearance of non-protein-bound cibenzoline was seven times GFR, indicating excretion by the renal tubular secretory pathway for organic bases. This drug, at the doses used, did not lower creatinine clearance, indicating that the effect of basic drugs competing with creatinine for the base secretory pathway appears to be dose and drug dependent.
