The effect of hemodialysis and hemoperfusion on serum valproic acid concentration

Abstract: We report a patient with dialysis-induced encephalopathy who was taking divalproex sodium for a seizure disorder. Her serum valproic acid concentration appeared to be in the low therapeutic range at 54 mg/l yet she continued to have seizure activity. The elimination half-life and apparent clearance of valproic acid were the same for both a dialysis and nondialysis day, indicating that hemodialysis/hemoperfusion has little effect on the overall removal of valproic acid from the body.

“…Hemodialysis does not significantly alter the level of serum VPA in patients with therapeutic drug levels undergoing chronic dialysis (13,14). However, recent reports suggest that the toxicokinetics of valproate vary considerably from the pharmacokinetics at therapeutic levels.…”

“…Die Proteinbindung wird unter Hämodialyse herabgesetzt [40]. Bei der Hämodialyse mit niedrig-effizienten Dialysatoren werden etwa 20 % der Serumkonzentration entzogen [transiente Plasmaspiegel-Erniedrigung für wenige Stunden], wobei an Dialyseund Nichtdialyse-Tagen ähnliche Halbwertszeiten vorliegen [41,42] und somit eine routinemäßige Zusatzgabe nach Dialyse nicht empfohlen ist. Der Effekt von hoch-effizienten Dialysatoren bei chronischer Hämodialyse jedoch ist unbekannt.…”
