## Background: The metabolism of alpha and gamma tocopherol, the major components of vitamin e, have not been studied in uremic patients. the major pathway of tocopherol metabolism is via phytyl side chain oxidation, leaving carboxyethyl-hydroxychromans (cehc) as metabolites. alpha and gamma cehc a

β¦ Synopsis
The pharmacokinetics and metabolism of orally administered bumetanide were studied in five healthy subjects and in five patients with renal insufficiency. Healthy subjects excreted 51% of the dose as unchanged drug in the urine, whilst the patients with renal insufficiency excreted only 11% of the dose as bumetanide. Similarly the urinary excretion of the gamma-hydroxybutyl metabolite was reduced from 6% in healthy subjects to 2.3% in patients with renal impairment. In both groups of subjects the mean elimination half-life of the metabolite was greater than for bumetanide. The results indicate a possible accumulation of bumetanide and metabolite in patient with renal failure.
