Suggested maintenance dose of phenytoin in ESRF patient

  • Phenytoin in ESRF patient tends to poorly bind to albumin and may have low serum albumin level. 
  • Therefore, maintenance dose of phenytoin needs to be titrated cautiously according to the response and unbound blood concentration. 
  • Monitoring should be done closely to ensure optimal efficacy and minimize toxicity.
