Pharmacodynamics

Edetate calcium disodium is a polyvalent ion chelator used to remove lead from the body after lead poisoning.7 It has a wide therapeutic index, as overdoses must be well in excess of the therapeutic dose to show symptoms.7 It has a long duration of action, as doses are given at least a day apart.7 Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of increased intracranial pressure with intravenous infusions.7

Mechanism of action

Edetate calcium disodium distributes into tissues, such as the kidney and bone, where it chelates lead ions.1,3 The lead ions are then eliminated in the normal urinary excretion of edetate.1,2 Lead in certain tissues such as the liver and bone, redistribute to other tissues after edetate calcium disodium treatment, but lead levels do not decrease to levels seen in unexposed patients.2

Absorption

Calcium edetate disodium's Cmax and AUC are dependant on renal function.4 5% of an oral dose is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.6

Volume of distribution

The volume of distribution of edetate calcium disodium is 0.19±0.10L/kg.3

Protein binding

Not Available

Metabolism

Edetate calcium disodium is almost completely unmetabolized in vivo.6,7

Route of elimination

Edetate calcium disodium is 95% eliminated in the urine within 24 hours.3,7 An oral dose in rats was 88.32% recovered in the feces and 10.30% recovered in the urine.6

Half-life

The half life of edetate calcium disodium is 20-60 minutes.7

Clearance

The mean clearance of edetate in 1 month olds is 54.6mL/min/1.73m2.6 2-17 year olds have a mean clearance of 113.9±24.4mL/min/1.73m2.6

Toxicity

Patients experiencing an overdose may present with similar symptoms to severe lead poisoning such as cerebral edema and renal tubular necrosis.7 Overdose can be managed through the administration of mannitol, zinc level monitoring, and maintenance of urinary output.7
