Ticrynafen in anephric patients: effects on uric acid and pharmacokinetics.
Ticrynafen was given to 6 anephric patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Ticrynafen was given daily for the 3 days between hemodialyses. Ticrynafen had no effect on the interdialysis rise in serum uric acid levels. Ticrynafen did not accumulate in serum, but levels of metabolites continued to rise over the 3 days. Hemodialysis (5 hr) reduced levels of ticrynafen by 38% but had less effect on metabolite levels. There was no effect on serum cholesterol or triglycerides.
