Using 5-fluorocytosine-2-14C, the plasma and urinary clearances of 5-FC were measured together with simultaneous inulin clearances. In 8 healthy subjects the drug was shown to be eliminated largely by the kidney, 90% of an intravenous load being recovered as unchanged drug in the urine within 48 h. A formula is presented to calculate 5-FC dosages in patients with renal insufficiency.
