mephenytoin and Hepatitis, Chronic

mephenytoin has been researched along with Hepatitis, Chronic in 1 studies

Mephenytoin: An anticonvulsant effective in tonic-clonic epilepsy (EPILEPSY, TONIC-CLONIC). It may cause blood dyscrasias.
mephenytoin : An imidazolidine-2,4-dione (hydantoin) in which the imidazolidine nucleus carries a methyl group at N-3 and has ethyl and phenyl substituents at C-5. An anticonvulsant, it is no longer available in the USA or the UK but is still studied largely because of its interesting hydroxylation polymorphism.

Hepatitis, Chronic: INFLAMMATION of the LIVER with ongoing hepatocellular injury for 6 months or more, characterized by NECROSIS of HEPATOCYTES and inflammatory cell (LEUKOCYTES) infiltration. Chronic hepatitis can be caused by viruses, medications, autoimmune diseases, and other unknown factors.

" An alternative approach is to measure the hepatic metabolism of a highly extracted compound whose oral clearance and systemic bioavailability are dependent on both hepatocyte function and degree of portosystemic shunt."1.30Mephenytoin disposition and serum bile acids as indices of hepatic function in chronic viral hepatitis. ( Adedoyin, A; Arns, PA; Branch, RA; DiBisceglie, AM; Hoofnagle, JH; Waggoner, JG; Wilkinson, GR, 1997)
