    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Pharmacokinetics
    • Mathematical Modeling

    Background:

    • The compartment model of body fluids is crucial for understanding physiological parameters like distribution volume and clearance rates.
    • Current indirect methods for determining these parameters often rely on solving differential equations, which can be prone to inaccuracies.
    • Graphic-analytical methods used in these calculations present significant challenges and lead to imprecise results.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a more accurate method for determining physiological characteristics of body fluid compartments.
    • To overcome the limitations of graphic-analytical methods in solving differential equations for physiological models.
    • To enhance the precision of calculating parameters such as distribution volume, transport rate, and clearance.

    Main Methods:

    • The study proposes approximating the indicator substance concentration in the intravasal space using a sum of two exponents.
    • This approximation directly corresponds to the system of differential equations governing a two-compartment model.
    • The least squares method is employed for function approximation, with mean quadratic error serving as the precision criterion.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed method offers a more accurate determination of physiological characteristics compared to traditional graphic-analytical techniques.
    • It provides a robust algorithm for calculating parameters within a two-compartment body fluid model.
    • A computer program has been developed based on this algorithm.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel approximation technique significantly improves the accuracy of physiological characteristic determination.
    • This approach provides a reliable and precise alternative to existing methods for analyzing body fluid compartment dynamics.
    • The developed algorithm and software facilitate more accurate physiological assessments.
