Abstract

The effects of Fluosol-DA (Fluosol) and Hespan haemodilution on the nonmicrosomal acetylation of sulphadimidine were studied in male rats. Fluosol increased the acetylsulphadimidine percent excreted in urine, the metabolic formation rate constant (kf), and the formation clearance (CLF) for 72 h after haemodilution without any significant changes in the sulphadimidine apparent volume of distribution (Vd) or total body clearance (CL). Hespan haemodilution increased the acetylsulphadimidine percent excreted in urine only at 48 h while significantly decreasing the sulphadimidine clearance, urinary excretion rate constant (ku), and renal clearance (CLR) for 72 h. The enhanced N-acetyltransferase activity after Fluosol haemodilution may have therapeutic consequences for concomitantly given drugs metabolized by this enzyme.
