The Pharmacologic Profile of Sodium Thiosulfate in Renal Failure and Healthy Volunteers

The Pharmacologic Profile of Sodium Thiosulfate in Renal Failure and Healthy

The pharmacokinetics of sodium thiosulfate in humans with different degrees of renal failure and in healthy volunteers will be after two single shot applications.

Two single shot applications of i.v. sodium thiosulfate will be given to dialysis patients. One application will be given immediately before a dialysis session and the second dose will be given after the consecutive dialysis session.

In healthy volunteers sodium thiosulfate will be given only once. In both groups, dialysis patients and healthy volunteers, blood and urinary/dialysate samples will be collected at defined time points.
