Q

What is the relationship of GFR and free or bound drug?

A
  1. GFR correlates with body SA
  2. As the free drug concentration in plasma increase, the glomerular filtration for the drug increases proportionaly, thus increasing renal drug clearance for some drugs

A

Influenced by pH of the fluid in the renal tubule and the pK of the drug

39
Q

40
Q

How do you find amount excreted in urine

A
  1. Calculated by measuring amount of drug in urine
  2. Urine needs to be sampled for 3-4 half-lives
41
Q

How do you calculate renal clearance?

A
42
Q

Describe renal clearance when steady-state occurs?

A

All of the excreted eliminated unchanged in the urine from one dose occurs over one dosing interval

43
Q

What is this τ ?

A

Dosing interval

44
Q

How do you find renal clearance at steady state?

A
45
Q

How do you determine non renal clearance?

A
  1. If you know renal clearnace
  2. Determined from renal clearance if F is known
  3. Not the same as hepatic
46
Q

How do you calculate NR Cl?

A
47
Q

What is inulin?

A

Used to estimate GFR since it is know to only be excreted by GF

48
Q

What is Cl ratio?

A

The ratio of drug Cl to inulin Cl, an indication for the mechanism of renal excretion of the drug?

49
Q

What is the Cl ratio of partial reabsorption of drug?

A
50
Q

A
51
Q

What is the Cl ratio of drug filtration only?

A
52
Q

What is the Cl ratio of drug that is actively secreted?

A
53
Q

In what instances is is filtration the sole process of excretion?

A
  1. Drug is not bound to plasma proteins
  2. Not reabsorbed
  3. The amount of drug filtered at any time will always be Cp * GFR
54
Q

In what instances is filtration and secretation with negligible reabsorption the sole process of excretion?

A

The overall excretion rate will exceed GFR

55
Q

What is the difference between low and high drug plasma concentrations in regards to filtration and active secretion?

A

L: active secretion is not saturated, and the drug is excreted by filtration and active secretion
H: the percentage of drug excreted by active secretion decreases due to saturation. Renal Clearance decreases because excretion rate (of Active Secretion) decreases

56
Q

What is occurring in this graph?

A

The decline of renal clearnace

As the drug plasma level increases to a concentration that saturates the active tubular secretion, glomerular filtration becomes the major component for renal clearance.

57
Q

What is occurring in this graph?

A

Renal Cl decreases because the total excretion rate of the drug increases to the point where it is approximately equal to the filtration rate

58
Q

What are the components of Cl?

A

Renal and nonrenal clearance

59
Q

What is Clr composed of?

A

Filtration, reabsorption and secretion

60
Q

What is Creatinine Cl?

A

Mostly filtered but also secreted, indicates the filtration capacity (GFR) of the kidney in a given patient

61
Q

Where does Creatinine come from?

A

Muscle mass

62
Q

What is the assumptions that is made when the adjusting doses based on renal function?

A

Decreasing renal function does not change the non renal clearance

Reasonable until sever renal impairment is observed at which point changes in protein binding capacity and affinity as well as changes in enzymatic and transporter affinity and activity may be seen

63
Q

How do we determine Cl graphically?

A

given by the slope of the curve obtained by plotting the rate of drug excretion in urine (dDu/dt) against Cp

64
Q

Compare lines A and B

A

A: a drug that is excreted rapidly, dDu/dt is large, the slope is steeper, and clearance is greater
B: Drug is excreted slower through kidneys and the slope is smaller

65
Q

Identify the variables of this model?

A

ClR = renal clearance of parent drug,
Clf = formation clearance of parent drug to metabolite,
Cm = plasma concentration of the metabolite,
Cp = plasma concentration of the parent drug
Vss = total volume of distribution of parent drug,
Vss(m) = apparent volume of distribution of metabolite,
(Cl - ClR - Clf) clearance of parent drug minus the renal and formation clearances,
F = absolute bioavailability of parent drug.)
