A computer program for the analysis of double isotope renal clearance assays
Abstract:
A computer program is given for the analysis of double isotope renal clearance assays. A program for use with computerized gamma counters or desk-top computers is described for the calculation of effective renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate from data obtained with the single injection technique. Using standard statistical algorithms the program rapidly computes the fast and slow exponential clearance components, together with their standard errors, from the observed plasma disappearance curves of both isotopes, and thus obviates the need for their manual graphical resolution. The program has been in routine use for 3 years and successfully processed 109 renal clearance assays from a wide variety of patients whose kidney function ranged from normal to severely impaired.

Renal Clearance
Renal clearance refers to the volume of plasma cleared of a specific substance, such as creatinine, per unit of time. To measure clearance, urine samples are collected over a 24-hour period during each bladder voiding, followed by a single blood sample at the...
Renal Drug Clearance: Overview
Renal clearance can be calculated using different methods. One approach is to divide the urinary drug excretion rate by the plasma drug concentration. This method directly measures renal clearance, indicating the kidneys' efficiency in...
Renal Drug Clearance: Comparison Between Renal Excretion Methods
Renal clearance is often associated with the renal glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which represents the rate at which plasma is filtered through the glomeruli in the kidney. When drug reabsorption is minimal and there is no active secretion, renal clearance is closely related to the...
Determination of Renal Drug Clearance: Graphical and Midpoint Methods
The graphical method involves plotting the rate of drug excretion in urine against the plasma drug concentration. By analyzing the graph, the clearance can be calculated and obtained. Drugs rapidly excreted by the kidneys exhibit a...
