RESUMEN
Aim To observe the effect of hemodialysis on pharmacokinetics of sparfloxacin in thepatients contracting chronic renal failure. Methods Sparfloxacin concentrations inserum and urine of hemodialysis and non-dialysis patients were measured with a highperformance liquid chromatography method after administration a single oral dose of 200mg sparfloxacin. The pharmacokinetic parameters were computed with the programPKBP-N1.Results The main pharmacokinetic parameters in hemodialysis group wereT1/2(ka) - (1. 25 ?0. 57) h, T1/2(?) = (11. 88?4. 13) h, Tpeak = (4. 18 ? 0. 78) h,Cmax = (0.80 ? 0. 17) mg? L-1 and AUC0-= (6. 90 ? 3. 25) mg?h?L-1, while innon-dialysis group were T1/ 2(ka) = (1. 12 ? 0. 42) h, T1/ 2(?) = (15. 93 ? 5. 20) h, Tpeak =(3. 88 ? 0. 75) h, Cmax = (0. 69 ? 0. 37) mg?L -1, AUC0-= (10.05 ? 4. 13) mg?h?L-l. The original sparfloxacin discharge rats in urine within 24 h were (8. 98 ? 3. 92) % and(10. 58 ? 5. 64) % separately. T1/2(?) and AUC in hemodialysis group were markedly lowerthan in non-dialysis group (P
