ABSTRACT
We studied the hepatic handling of bromosulfophthalein in healthy rabbits with hepatic coccidiosis 28 days after an experimental infection with sporulated oocysts of Eimeria stiedai, an experimental model of liver disease histopathologically resembling primary biliary cirrhosis in man. A pharmacokinetic study of the results was performed following a multicompartmental model with 7 transfer constants to describe the physiological disposition of the dye. The study showed that the plasma disappearance, distribution volume (Vi), hepatic biotransformation and the biliary and urinary elimination of conjugated (BSPc) and unconjugated (BSPu) bromosulfophthalein were markedly altered. Whereas Vi and urinary excretion of the dye were significantly increased, the hepatic clearance, biotransformation and biliary excretion of BSPc and BSPu were drastically reduced in infected rabbits. Satisfactory agreement was obtained between the experimental and estimated data, particularly those relating to biotransformation clearance and biliary and urinary excretion of the dye. These results demonstrate that severe liver disease in rabbits with histopathological liver alterations resembling several hepatic dysfunctions in man markedly reduce hepatic uptake, metabolism and biliary excretion of a xenobiotic such as BSP.
