Q

Why is renal clearance predicted?

A

To predict the method of elimination or metabolism of a drug and to predict its changes in plasma concentration over time.

Q

What can be determined if renal clearance < GFR?

A

Filtered and partially reabsorbed

rate of being cleared < rate of filtration

Q

What can be determined if renal clearance = GFR?

A

Filtered but not reabsorbed

rate of being cleared = rate of filtration

Q

What is the equation for whole body clearance using the curve and what does it show?

A

Cl = dose / Area in curve

If a substance is cleared QUICKLY the area under the curve is SMALL showing a LARGE clearance value.

Q

What is the rate of removal proportional to and what equation is this shown by?

A

Rate of removal is proportional to concentration as long as Tm is not reached.
dC / dt = -kC

Q

How is the concentration calculated using Cmax?

A

C = CmaxE ^ -kt

Concentration will fall exponentially with time.

Q

How is half life calculated?

A

T1/2 = ln2 / k = 0.6931 / k
or
C = Cmax(1/2) ^no. of T1/2

Q

What is Vd and clearance used to predict?

A

Cl = KVd (volume of plasma from which a substrate is completely cleared by kidney per unit time)
Predicts how the concentration of a substance will change in circulation overtime.

17
Q

What is K?

A

The elimination rate constant

18
Q

What piece of information is required to calculate a Pt’s Vd?

A

Weight as Vd is measured in L.Kg

19
Q

What is meant by bioavailability?

A

The portion of a substance reaching systemic ciruclation UNCHANGED

20
Q

Absorbed dose =

A

Dose x bioavailability

21
Q

Vd in ECF (L) =

A

Vd of drug (L.kg) x mass (kg)

22
Q

Cl of L.hr =

A

Cl of L.min x 60

23
Q

Cpeak = (Peak concentration

A

Absorbed dose / Vd

24
Q

K =

A

Clearance / Vd

25
Q

Why are regular drug dose intervals used?

A

To allow the plasma concentration of the drug to fall before the next, to prevent accumulation.

26
Q

How does a dose affect rate of Cl?

A

Clearance is independent to dose.

A higher dose will still be cleared within the same amount of time. Dose only affects the starting concentration.

27
Q

After an overdose, when can the normal drug dose be resumed?

A

After the normal drugs interval time without causing accumulation, as the overdose concentration will have fallen to the resting concentration within this time. Body can eliminate any dose within the same period of time.

28
Q

When is an overdose an issue for resuming normal drug intervals?

A

When pt has renal failure due to the reduced GFR meaning that the concentration of the drug fails to reach the resting concentration between each dose.
As excretion is slower, accumulation will occur.

29
Q

For how long will accumulation of a drug occur in a pt with renal failure?

A

Until the drug reaches an equilibrium with the body fluids.

30
Q

What needs to be altered about a drug for a pt with renal failure?

A

Need to increase the interval time between each dose.
