Where are anaesthetics metabolised?

Anaesthetics are primarily metabolised in the liver, where enzymes break them down into less active or inactive metabolites. Some inhalational anaesthetics may also undergo some degree of metabolism in other tissues, including the lungs and kidneys. The specific pathways and extent of metabolism can vary depending on the type of anaesthetic used. Ultimately, the metabolites are excreted from the body, mainly through urine.
