A drug is eliminated by renal excretion and liver metabolism. The drug has an oral bioavailabilty of 0.9. Following a 100 mg oral dose administration, the total amount of drug recovered in urine was 60 mg. The half-life of this drug is 3.3 hours and its volume of distribution is 10 L. Calculate the total clearance, renal clearance and the constant of renal excretion (Kr) for this drug.

For a drug to be effective in treating an illness, its levels in the bloodstream must be maintained for a period of time. One way to measure the level of a drug in the body is to measure its rate of appearance in the urine. The rate of excretion of penicillin is first order, with a half-life of about 30. min. If a person receives an injection of 37 mg of penicillin at = 0, how much penicillin remains in the...

The state of health and functioning of the liver is often assessed with dye-tracer techniques. The dye used most frequently is bromosulfophthalein (abbreviated BSP). With normal function liver, the dye will be removed from circulation after it is conjugated with cysteine or glutathione (which happens in the liver) following a first order kinetics k=0.5 hr-1 at 37°C. The usual clinical procedure is to have a single injection to the blood and then to measure the amount remaining in the liver...
