Popis: Thirty patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were given isoniazid (INH) and their acetylation phenotypes determined. Of 30 patients, 2 were slow acetylators (7%), 28 rapid acetylators. This was approximately equivalent to the ratio in the control group (12%) and to the prevalence in the general population (10%). Urinary excretion of the metabolite hydrazine was determined in 10 SLE patients and 9 controls. The significantly higher hydrazine excretion from SLE patients as compared with that from controls suggested an aberration of metabolism in the SLE patients.
