Amide-type local anesthetics, such as bupivacaine, are metabolized by the liver. Bupivacaine should be used cautiously in patients with hepatic disease. Patients with severe hepatic disease, because of their inability to metabolize local anesthetics normally, are at a greater risk of developing toxic plasma concentrations.
