The effect of haemodialysis on mebendazole kinetics has been studied in a patient receiving both mebendazole therapy and haemodialysis. The procedure of haemodialysis did not influence the plasma concentration-time profiles or the mean daily plasma levels. The arterio-venous difference in the dialyser was negligible and no mebendazole could be detected in the dialysate. Protein binding of mebendazole was 90% before dialysis and 88% during dialysis and not significantly different from the binding in patients without renal disease (91.4 +/- 1.9%, n = 22).
