| Popis: | To aid interpretation of the fall in the serum concentrations of rifampicin observed in the early phase of continuous treatment, the distribution of the antibiotic was assessed simultaneously in the serum, bile, and urine of patients treated for one week. Transfer constants between these compartments were calculated on the 1st and 7th day of treatment by multicompartmental kinetic analysis. — The results obtained suggest that the decrease in serum concentrations is due to enhanced biliary excretion; no significant change was observed in the amount of antibiotic excreted in the urine. The increased capacity of the liver to excrete rifampicin in bile might result from enzyme induction by the antibiotic in hepatocytes. |
