flecainide and Renal Insufficiency

flecainide has been researched along with Renal Insufficiency in 5 studies

Flecainide: A potent anti-arrhythmia agent, effective in a wide range of ventricular and atrial ARRHYTHMIAS and TACHYCARDIAS.
flecainide : A monocarboxylic acid amide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of 2,5-bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)benzoic acid with the primary amino group of piperidin-2-ylmethylamine. An antiarrhythmic agent used (in the form of its acetate salt) to prevent and treat tachyarrhythmia (abnormal fast rhythm of the heart).

Renal Insufficiency: Conditions in which the KIDNEYS perform below the normal level in the ability to remove wastes, concentrate URINE, and maintain ELECTROLYTE BALANCE; BLOOD PRESSURE; and CALCIUM metabolism. Renal insufficiency can be classified by the degree of kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Five case reports are presented pertaining to diabetic ketoacidosis in an adult who was not known to suffer from diabetes and in presence of multiple psychotropic substances; fatal flecainide intoxication in a poor metabolizer also presenting an impaired renal function; diabetic ketoacidosis showing severe postmortem changes; primary aldosteronism presented with intracranial hemorrhage and hypothermia showing severe postmortem changes."3.78Usefulness of postmortem biochemistry in forensic pathology: illustrative case reports. ( Augsburger, M; Lesta, Mdel M; Mangin, P; Palmiere, C; Sabatasso, S; Sporkert, F, 2012)
" Recently a new method has been proposed to determine absolute bioavailability in the absence of intravenous dose."1.30Prediction of absolute bioavailability for drugs using oral and renal clearance following a single oral dose: a critical view. ( Mahmood, I, 1997)
