Excited to share our work on disproportionate free VPA in the ICU, revealing that a) unexpected free VPA levels are extremely common, b) unchecked elevation is associated with ADE, and c) common factors like propofol use lead to these elevations

For those of you attending #AES2024, be sure to check out our poster on the effect of ketogenic diet initiation on free valproate fraction in three patients with SRSE (abs 2.105)!

We found that free fraction increased by ~28% after keto started. Total VPA levels ⬇️, but free levels ⬆️!
