Clearance Since there is no renal clearance, ferumoxytol is safe in renal failure patients [L2184]. One study estimated the clearance to be **0.0221 L/h** [L2179].
Volume of distribution The population mean estimates for volume of distribution of the central compartment (V(1)), maximum elimination rate (V(max)), and ferumoxytol concentration at which rate of metabolism would be one-half of V(max) (K(m)) were 2.71 l, 14.3 mg/hr, and 77.5 mg/L, respectively [L2182].
Route of elimination Iron can either become a component of intracellular ferritin or be transferred to erythroid precursor cells [L2185].
Half life The pharmacokinetic (PK) behavior of Feraheme has been studied in healthy subjects and in patients with stage 5D of chronic kidney disease, on hemodialysis [L2182]. Feraheme showed dose-dependent, capacity-limited elimination from the plasma with a half-life of **approximately 15 hours** in humans [L2182].
Absorption Bioavailability studies were not conducted as ferumoxytol has been developed for IV administration only [L2179]. Iron therapy dosage is individualized according to specific goals for blood iron concentrations, iron storage parameters (e.g., ferritin, transferrin saturation), and serum hemoglobin concentrations. Iron toxicity is possible with excessive or unnecessary iron therapy. Systemic iron is stored in ferritin and hemosiderin, which are utilized for future production of hemoglobin. The absorption of iron depends on the route of administration. The tissue that first clears parenterally ingested iron from the plasma determines its bioavailability. If the reticuloendothelial system clears iron effectively, only small amounts will become available over time to the bone marrow. Transferrin accepts iron from the intestinal tract and also from sites of hemoglobin storage and destruction [L2190].
