title: Pharmacokinetics of ketoprofen in patients with chronic renal failure.
abstract: The pharmacokinetics of ketoprofen were studied in 7 volunteers and in 5 patients suffering from varying degrees of renal insufficiency. All the subjects received a single oral dose (50 mg) of ketoprofen. Plasma concentrations were measured up to 24 hours after administration and urinary excretion for 2 days. Ketoprofen concentrations were determined by mass-fragmentography with a minimum level of detection of 0.02 mg/l. As expected, a reduction of the [51Cr]EDTA clearance was correlated with an increase in the elimination half-life of ketoprofen. The urinary excretion corresponded to results reported by other groups.
