Information

  1. Fluoride-Induced Nephrotoxicity
    1. The safety of sevoflurane with regard to fluoride concentrations may be caused by a rapid decline in plasma fluoride concentrations because of less availability of the anesthetic for metabolism from a faster washout compared with enflurane.
    2. Furthermore, a minimal amount of renal defluorination may contribute to the relative absence of renal concentrating defects.
