mephenytoin and Liver Diseases

mephenytoin has been researched along with Liver Diseases in 3 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.

Liver Diseases: Pathological processes of the LIVER.

"Mephenytoin metabolism was significantly decreased in both patients with mild liver disease (Child-Pugh score of 5/6) (-63% [95% confidence interval (CI), -86% to -40%]; P = ."2.72Liver disease selectively modulates cytochrome P450--mediated metabolism. ( Branch, RA; Chaves-Gnecco, D; Frye, RF; Matzke, GR; Rabinovitz, M; Shaikh, OS; Zgheib, NK, 2006)
" As a consequence, alteration in metabolism of specific drugs cannot be easily predicted or appropriate dosage adjustment recommendations made."2.69Selective effect of liver disease on the activities of specific metabolizing enzymes: investigation of cytochromes P450 2C19 and 2D6. ( Adedoyin, A; Arns, PA; Branch, RA; Richards, WO; Wilkinson, GR, 1998)
" The omeprazole metabolic ratio may serve the double purpose of phenotyping for CYP2C19 and to individualize dosing in omeprazole-treated patients."1.29Phenocopies of poor metabolizers of omeprazole caused by liver disease and drug treatment. ( Brockmöller, J; Esdorn, F; Roots, I; Rost, KL, 1995)
