title: Disposition of intravenous glycofurol: effect of hepatic cirrhosis.
abstract: The disposition of intravenous glycofurol, a solvent for some drugs, was followed in nine male patients with hepatic cirrhosis. In comparison with age-matched controls, glycofurol clearance in the patients with cirrhosis was reduced 43% and terminal t 1/2 was prolonged 103%. There was no significant difference between the cirrhotic and control groups in volume of distribution.
