Although gabapentin is well known for its favorable pharmacokinetics, it is exclusively eliminated renally, and patients with chronic kidney disease are at risk for toxicity. Existing literature on such risk is lacking. Renal clearance of gabapentin (CL R) correlates well with creatinine clearance (CrCL), which can be used as a predictor of CL R. 22 In patients with anuria, gabapentin can be effectively removed via dialysis. 23 Gabapentin produced from hydrolysis of gabapentin enacarbil is also eliminated via the renal clearance pathway.16, 17 The It is entirely excreted through the renal system so this needs to be considered in any patient becoming acutely ill and developing renal failure. We describe a patient who developed significant deterioration in her conscious level due to iatrogenic gabapentin overdose. Gabapentin elimination rate constant, plasma clearance, and renal clearance are directly proportional to creatinine clearance. In elderly patients, and in patients with impaired renal function, gabapentin plasma clearance is reduced. Gabapentin can be removed from plasma by hemodialysis. Specific Populations. Age Gabapentin’s apparent total clearance is 100 mL/min in adults with normal renal function, which is essentially equivalent to CrCl and does not suggest the involvement of tubular reabsorption. 1 Some evidence suggest that active tubular secretion mediated by organic cation transporter-1 (OCT-1) may play a role in gabapentin’s renal clearance. Kidney Function: If a child has kidney problems, the dose needs to be lower. Ages ≥12 years : Adjust based on creatinine clearance and weight. Dosage Adjustment : Lower doses required; consult a paediatric specialist. Gabapentin is not appreciably metabolized in humans. Not a substrate, inducer, or inhibitor of CYP450 isoenzymes. Elimination. Half-life: 5-7 hr. Dialyzable: Yes. Renal clearance: 225 Gabapentin elimination rate constant, plasma clearance, and renal clearance are directly proportional to creatinine clearance.

In individuals with normal renal function, gabapentin clearance is 100 ml/min, which is equivalent to a normal creatinine clearance. Apparent oral plasma clearance (CL/F) and renal clearance (CLR) of gabapentin decreased and maximum plasma concentration, time to reach maximum concentration, and half-life values increased as renal function diminished. Gabapentin CL/F and CLR were linearly correlated with creatinine clearance. Renal clearance (CLr) and CLr adjusted for body surface area also declined with age; however, the decline in the renal clearance of gabapentin with age can largely be explained by the decline in renal function [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) and Use in Specific Populations (8.5)]. In patients with stable renal function, creatinine clearance can be reasonably well estimated using the equation of Cockcroft and Gault. The use of gabapentin capsules in patients less than 12 years of age with compromised renal function has not been studied. View gabapentin information, including dose, uses, side-effects, renal 300 mg daily in 3 divided doses if creatinine clearance is less than 15 mL/minute (150 mg Gabapentin is eliminated from the systemic circulation by renal excretion as unchanged drug. Gabapentin is not appreciably metabolized in humans. Gabapentin elimination half-life is 5 to 7 hours and is unaltered by dose or following multiple dosing. Gabapentin elimination rate constant, plasma clearance, and renal clearance are directly Gabapentin’s apparent total clearance is 100 mL/ min in adults with normal renal function, which is essentially equivalent to CrCl and does not suggest the involvement of tubular reabsorption.1 Some evidence suggest that active tubular secretion mediated by organic cation transporter-1 (OCT-1) may play a role in gabapentin’s renal clearance. The risk of respiratory depression should be assessed when initiating gabapentin in patients with respiratory comorbidities, neurological disease, renal impairment and in combination with other respiratory depressants such as opioids. Gabapentin elimination rate constant, plasma clearance, and renal clearance are directly proportional to creatinine clearance. In elderly patients, and in patients with impaired renal function, gabapentin plasma clearance is reduced.
