Esmolol is metabolized in the cytosol of red blood cells. The resultant acid metabolite is slightly active and is primarily eliminated by the kidney. The clearance of this metabolite is significantly decreased in patients with renal impairment, although the clinical consequences of metabolite accumulation are unknown. Therapy with esmolol should be administered cautiously in patients with renal dysfunction.
