Exam 4 Flashcards
Blood supply to liver
~75% comes from hepatic vein
~25% from artery
Most others get blood from artery, liver is exception
Physiological factors that are used to predict drug kinetics?
Blood flow rate
Extent of plasma-protein binding
Metabolism by liver
If drugs are not eliminated or extracted by the liver, then the hepatic E value is…
hepatic E is 0
Drugs that are excreted or eliminated during a single pass through the liver, hepatic E is…
Hepatic E is close to 1
Propranolol, lidocaine, propoxyphene - high E but no drug has E of 1
Drugs with Low E but still has high fraction metabolized (100%)
Warfarin and tolbutamide, E is <0.01
E and Hepatic Cl are _____ of Drug concentration
Independent
F’ is fraction of drug that is…
escaping extraction by the liver
fraction of drug that exists the liver in intact form
F cant be > than F’
Increased Fub will….
increase E and Hepatic Cl
Increased Q will…
increase Hepatic Cl but less than proportionally
An increase in Intrinsic Clearance (Cl’int) will…
increase both E and Hepatic Cl
Low E drugs, the Hepatic clearance is limited by…
intrinsic Clearance (Cl’int)
Cl’int is much lower than Q
High E drugs, the Hepatic clearance is limited by…
the perfusion (Q)
Cl’int is much higher than Q
Hepatic Clearance of very low E drugs….
does not depend on Q
is the same as their intrinsic clearance
What is considered a low E drug?
E < 0.3
Examples of low E drugs…
Antipyrine Warfarin Theophylline Tolbutamide Procainamide
Examples of high E drugs…
Propranolol Verapamil Lidocaine Propoxyphene Morphine Nitroglycerine
What is considered a high E drug?
E > 0.7
Hepatic Clearance of Very high E drugs…..
does not depend on intrinsic clearance
same as the liver blood flow
Drugs that have an E between 0.3-0.7 then….
considered intermediate extraction drugs with hepatic clearance that depends on both blood flow and intrinsic clearance
Three major mechanisms involved in urinary excretion…
- Glomerular Filtration
- Active tubular secretion
- Tubular reabsorption
Glomerular filtration and tubular secretion….
remove drugs from the blood for excretion into the urine/
Tubular Reabsorption takes….
excreted and/or filtered drug from the urine into the blood
Markers of GFR in clinical settings?
Creatine and inulin
