Diagnosis and management of autonomic failure in neurodegenerative disorders.

abstract：:The interpretation of the total phenytoin (PT) concentration can be problematic if valproic acid (VPA) is given as a comedication, because VPA displaces PT from the protein binding sites and can increase the free fraction of PT. In order to estimate the free or unbound PT concentration (PTf) from the total PT concentr...
