The urinary excretion of valproic acid (VPA) and its metabolites (3-keto VPA, 3-OH VPA, and VPA-glucuronide) in 6 epileptic patients was studied using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The amount of VPA and 3-OH VPA excreted in the urine was low (0.1-0.5% of the dose of VPA and 0.6-1.5% of the dose of 3-OH administered). The amount of 3-keto VPA and glucuronide (VPA-Glu) excreted was marked (5.8-26.2% and 13.1-88.7% of the dose of VPA administered, respectively). The urinary excretion of VPA and its metabolites by patients who have taken a normal amount of a VPA preparation was almost the same as that of healthy volunteers. Two epileptic patients who took a large amount of the VPA preparation showed a high excretion of VPA-Glu without an increase in their plasma VPA-Glu.
