Renal Clearance of Drug Formula Elements

Variables
Renal Clearance
Renal Clearance is a measure of kidney transport in units of volume of plasma per unit time.
Symbol: CLr
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: mL/min
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Drug Amount Excreted Unchanged in Urine
Drug Amount Excreted Unchanged in Urine is the concentration of drug excreted through urine.
Symbol: Au
Measurement: DensityUnit: μg/L
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Area Under Curve
Area under Curve (AUC) is the definite integral of a curve that describes the variation of a drug concentration in blood plasma as a function of time.
Symbol: AUC
Measurement: Concentration Time CoefficientUnit: mol*s/L
Note: Value can be positive or negative.

How to Evaluate Renal Clearance of Drug?

Renal Clearance of Drug evaluator uses Renal Clearance = Drug Amount Excreted Unchanged in Urine/Area Under Curve to evaluate the Renal Clearance, The Renal Clearance of Drug formula is defined as a measure of kidney transport in units of volume of plasma per unit time. The volume of plasma measured is that volume for which a given substance (e.g., urea or drugs) is completely removed per minute. Renal Clearance is denoted by CLr symbol.

How to evaluate Renal Clearance of Drug using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Renal Clearance of Drug, enter Drug Amount Excreted Unchanged in Urine (Au) & Area Under Curve (AUC) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Renal Clearance of Drug

What is the formula to find Renal Clearance of Drug?
The formula of Renal Clearance of Drug is expressed as Renal Clearance = Drug Amount Excreted Unchanged in Urine/Area Under Curve. Here is an example- 2.2E+7 = 8.2E-06/1320.
How to calculate Renal Clearance of Drug?
With Drug Amount Excreted Unchanged in Urine (Au) & Area Under Curve (AUC) we can find Renal Clearance of Drug using the formula - Renal Clearance = Drug Amount Excreted Unchanged in Urine/Area Under Curve.
Can the Renal Clearance of Drug be negative?
No, the Renal Clearance of Drug, measured in Volumetric Flow Rate cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Renal Clearance of Drug?
Renal Clearance of Drug is usually measured using the Milliliter per Minute[mL/min] for Volumetric Flow Rate. Cubic Meter per Second[mL/min], Cubic Meter per Day[mL/min], Cubic Meter per Hour[mL/min] are the few other units in which Renal Clearance of Drug can be measured.
