The concentration of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein, the major determinant of the plasma protein binding of basic drugs, and the extent of lidocaine protein binding was related to the severity of liver disease in 30 cirrhotic patients. In comparison with matched control subjects, alpha 1-acid glycoprotein concentration (77 +/- 7 versus 37 +/- 3 mg/dl; mean +/- SEM; p less than 0.01) and lidocaine binding (69% +/- 2% versus 35% +/- 2%; p less than 0.01) was markedly reduced. There was a significant negative correlation (r = 0.78; p less than 0.01) between free lidocaine and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein concentration. Furthermore, both were significantly related to the severity of liver disease, as assessed by use of the Child Turcotte classification.
