A) lipid-soluble drugs into more water-soluble forms
Faster drug excretion via the kidneys occurs by converting lipid-soluble drugs into more water-soluble forms. This speeds up excretion of many drugs. Methods of conversion include the structural addition of a hydroxyl group, or by glucuronidation, which is the addition of glucuronic acid to a substrate. This process is often involved in metabolism of drugs and other substances. It is also called glucuronosylation.
