🎯 Indications and Usage ▾
INDICATIONS AND USAGE GLOFIL-125 (Sodium Iothalamate I-125 Injection) is indicated for evaluation of glomerular filtration in the diagnosis or monitoring of patients with renal disease.
⏱️ Dosage and Administration ▾
Dosage The suggested dose range employed in the average patient (70 kg) is as follows: Continuous intravenous infusion: 20 to 100 μCi (0.74-3.7 megabecquerels) (Sigman, et al (1) method). Single intravenous injection: 10 to 30 µCi (0.37-1.11 megabecquerels) Cohen, et al (2) method) The patient dose should be measured by a suitable radioactivity calibration system immediately prior to administration. Technique Continuous intravenous infusion Sigman 1 method I.
Preparation: Adequate diuresis (a urine flow exceeding 3 mL/min.) is established, preferably by an oral water load of 1,500 mL two hours prior to the beginning of the clearance study. 2. It is not necessary to withhold breakfast or admit the patient the night before.
II. Procedure: After the establishment of adequate diuresis, a number 14 or 16 French Foley catheter is aseptically inserted into the bladder. An intravenous infusion of Lactated Ringers (Hartmanns) solution is started in each arm, one to maintain a site for injection of the GLOFIL-125, the other to serve as a site for serial withdrawal of blood.
A two-way stopcock connects the needle and intravenous tubing of each arm. The dose is equally divided into (1) an intravenous priming dose to be injected as is and (2) a sustaining dose to be diluted in 30 to 60 mL of isotonic sodium chloride, depending on how many collection periods are anticipated. The priming dose is slowly injected into one arm.
This is immediately followed by infusion of the sustaining solution through the same site, usually at the rate of 0.5 mL/min., by means of an automatic pump. During this infusion, the Lactated Ringers solution in the same arm is discontinued, and 40 to 45 minutes are allowed for equilibration in order to reach a state of constant plasma concentration of radioactivity. After attaining equilibrium, consecutive 15 minute collection periods are started.
From the arm opposite the injection site, 5 mL of blood (allowing duplicate plasma counting volumes) is drawn six minutes prior to the midpoint of each collection period, placed in heparinized tubes, mixed, and centrifuged. The blood samples may be obtained through the two-way stopcock after discarding the first 30 mL aspirated into the syringe. This 30 mL contains the contents of the tubing, including infusion fluid, and must be cleared in order to obtain an undiluted blood sample.
If desired, this step may be eliminated and blood samples obtained by direct venipuncture. During each collection period, total urine must be accurately collected and the volume accurately measured. Three such consecutive collection periods are sufficient for most clinical studies.
III. Clearance Calculations: 1. Aliquots (1 mL each) of plasma and urine from each collection period are counted in a standard gamma-ray scintillation well detector.
2. All counts are corrected for background activity. 3.
Glomerular filtration rate is calculated by the formula C=UV/P, in which: C = glomerular filtration rate in mL/min U= urinary concentration of radioactivity in net counts/min/mL V= urinary flow rate in mL/min P = plasma concentration of radioactivity in net counts/min/mL 4. Average glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is calculated from the rates for the individual collection periods. GFR can be expressed in terms of body weight (mL/min/kg) or body surface area (mL/min/m 2 ).
5. Unilateral glomerular filtration rates can be determined by the same technique by utilizing ureteral catheterization. Single intravenous injection Cohen 2 method: The method of Cohen, et al 2 requires little preparation, few and small blood samples, no bladder catheterization, and no constant intravenous infusion.
It is simple to perform, rapid, and utilizes equipment which is readily available in most modern laboratories. I. Preparation: 1.
Lugol's solution, 3 drops orally, three times a day, is administered for one or two days prior to the test. No diet or water restriction is necessary. 2.
Oral water load is begun one hour befor…

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY The renal clearance of sodium iothalamate in man closely approximates that of inulin. The compound is cleared by glomerular filtration without tubular secretion or reabsorption. Following infusion administration of I-125 iothalamate, the effective half-life is about 0.07 days.
📦 How Supplied / Storage and Handling ▾
HOW SUPPLIED Identity No. 1000, GLOFIL-125 is a clear, colorless, sterile, and nonpyrogenic solution available as a 4 mL vial. It is supplied in a concentration of approximately 1 mg/mL sodium iothalamate (range is 0.5–2.0 mg sodium iothalamate per mL), with a radioactivity concentration of 250 to 300 μCi/mL at the time of calibration.
Benzyl alcohol 0.9%, is added as a preservative. Sodium bicarbonate and hydrochloric acid are added for pH adjustment. The calibration and expiration dates are shown on the label.
📦 Storage and Handling ▾
Storage Refrigerate the product upon receipt at 2°C to 8°C.
