mephenytoin and Liver Dysfunction

mephenytoin has been researched along with Liver Dysfunction 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.

"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)
