Pharmacokinetic study of ioxaglate, a low osmolality contrast medium, in patients with renal failure.
Determination of changes in plasma concentration of ioxaglate in patients with renal failure made it possible to demonstrate that distribution and clearance of this contrast medium, as in the case of classic uroangiographic products, conform to an open two-compartment model with clearance from the central compartment. Various pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated. The metabolic clearance of ioxaglate was lower for all 6 patients studied, as compared with results for 3 normal subjects tested, but less marked than with iodamide, a contrast medium involving tubular secretion.
