The characteristics of exsorption and/or excretion of theophylline into the small intestinal lumen in rats with hepatic cirrhosis (HC rats) induced by carbon tetrachloride were investigated by an in situ single-pass perfusion technique. The serum concentrations of theophylline after i.v. administration of aminophylline (10mg/kg) in the HC rats were significantly higher than those in normal rats during the experimental period. Moreover, the exsorption of theophylline from blood into intestinal iumen was significantly increased in the HC rats compared with the normal rats. Treatments with oral activated charcoal reduced the serum theophylline levels in the HC rats. Consequently, gastrointestinal dialysis by oral administration of activated charcoal may be a useful method to remove poisonous drugs from the blood in patients with hepatic failure (including cirrhosis), which decreases the systemic clearance.
