Elimination of 16-acetyl-gitoxin in patients suffering from impaired liver function.
    International journal of clinical pharmacology, therapy, and toxicology, 1987, Volume: 25, Issue:7

    In ten patients suffering from moderate to severe disturbances of liver function (hepatic cirrhosis, carcinomatous metastases of the liver) the elimination of 16-acetyl-gitoxin from plasma was measured after a single oral dose of 1.2 mg pengitoxin. In 9 of 10 patients the mean half-life amounted to 67.3 h (SD 14.2 h). In one patient with carcinomatous infiltration of the liver and concomitant cirrhosis, the half-life was prolonged to 165.3 h. The results point to an unchanged elimination of 16-acetyl-gitoxin in patients suffering from liver cirrhosis.
