Total Clearance of Body Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Total Clearance of Body?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
CLtotal=CLhepatic+CLrenal+CLpulmonary+CLother
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
CLtotal=1.5L/h+2L/h+1.5L/h+0.2L/h
Next Step Convert Units
CLtotal=4.2E-7m³/s+5.6E-7m³/s+4.2E-7m³/s+5.6E-8m³/s
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
CLtotal=4.2E-7+5.6E-7+4.2E-7+5.6E-8
Next Step Evaluate
CLtotal=1.44444444444445E-06m³/s
LAST Step Convert to Output's Unit
CLtotal=5.2L/h

Total Clearance of Body Formula Elements

Variables
Total Clearance
The Total Clearance is the total clearance of a drug from the body. It is a measure of how quickly the drug is eliminated from the body.
Symbol: CLtotal
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: L/h
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Hepatic Clearance
The Hepatic Clearance is the clearance of a drug by the liver. The liver is a major organ for drug metabolism, and it is responsible for breaking down and eliminating many drugs from the body.
Symbol: CLhepatic
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: L/h
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Renal Clearance for Total
The Renal Clearance for Total is the clearance of a drug by the kidneys. The kidneys are responsible for filtering out drugs from the blood, and they are a major route of drug elimination.
Symbol: CLrenal
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: L/h
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Pulmonary Clearance
The Pulmonary Clearance is the clearance of a drug by the lungs. The lungs are responsible for exchanging gases in the blood, and they can also eliminate some drugs from the body.
Symbol: CLpulmonary
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: L/h
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Other Clearance
The Other Clearance is the clearance of a drug by other organs or tissues. There are organs and tissues that can contribute to the clearance of drugs, such as the gut, the brain, and the skin.
Symbol: CLother
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: L/h
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
