目的：研究丙戊酸钠血药浓度与抗癫痫疗效及影响因素的关系，为临床个体化用药指导提供依据。方法对重庆医科大学附属永川医院133例服用丙戊酸钠的患者进行血药浓度测定，对血药浓度监测结果进行统计分析，并对133例患者抗癫痫疗效进行...目的：研究丙戊酸钠血药浓度与抗癫痫疗效及影响因素的关系，为临床个体化用药指导提供依据。方法对重庆医科大学附属永川医院133例服用丙戊酸钠的患者进行血药浓度测定，对血药浓度监测结果进行统计分析，并对133例患者抗癫痫疗效进行观察及分析。结果80例患者癫痫得到了控制，占60．15％，有效血药浓度（50～100 m g／L ）范围内有51例患者癫痫得到控制，占38．35％。血药浓度小于50 m g／L的44例患者中，26例未得到控制；男性与女性的血药浓度分布相似；丙戊酸钠血药浓度在各年龄组之间存在差异，成年组有52．87％患者血药浓度低于或高于治疗范围，未成年组则有39．13％；随着血药浓度增加，不良反应增加。结论丙戊酸钠的血药浓度与患者抗癫痫疗效之间存在个体差异，临床应用时，应根据患者的丙戊酸钠血药浓度、癫痫控制情况及年龄进行合理的个体化给药。展开更多
