Pharmacokinetic calculations Henderson-Hasselbach equation
Acid: PH= PKa + log(unionised/ionised) Bases: PH= PKa + log(ionised/unionised)
Pharmacokinetic calculations Absolute bioavailability
F= Dose/ AUC (iv) x AUC (oral)/dose
Pharmacokinetic calculations Rate of absorption, Ka
Ka= ln(2) / T1/2
Pharmacokinetic calculations Half-life
T1/2= 0.693/K
Pharmacokinetic calculations Volume of distribution, Vd
Vd= amount of drug administered/ blood plasma concentration Units of Vd= L or L/Kg
Pharmacokinetic calculations Loading dose, LD
LD= Vd x Desired plasma concentration/ S x F S= salt factor, 1 F= Bioavailability
Pharmacokinetic calculations Total clearance, CL
CL (systemic)= CL (renal) + CL (hepatic) + CL (other) CL= Vd x 0.693/T1/2 CL= ER x Q ER= Extraction ratio, Q= organ blood flow
Pharmacokinetic calculations Extraction ratio, ER
ER= eliminated drug/ eliminated drug + drug which escaped elimination
WBE calculations Load
Load= concentration x flow x (100/100+ stability) x (100/100 - sorption) sorption and stability as a %
WBE calculations Consumption
Consumption= Load x (1/Excretion) x (MWpar/MWDTR) x (1000/ population) - OS Excretion not as a % write as a decimal
Alcohol calculations Conversions between breath, blood and urine alcohol concentrations
Breath –> Blood –> Urine x2.3 x1.3375
Alcohol calculations Peak alcohol concentration, C
C = a x 100 / p x r C= mg/100ml a= mass of alcohol, g p= weight, Kg r= gender widmark factor (men=0.68, women= 0.56)
Alcohol calculations Calculating Mls and g of alcohol
ml of drink x (ABV% / 100)= Mls of alcohol Mls of alcohol x 0.789= g of alcohol
Alcohol calculations Elimination
Low range: 9 x time between incident and sample taken Medium range: 19 x time between incident and sample taken High range: 29 x time between incident and sample taken
Alcohol calculations Range of BAC
Low range: Peak alcohol concentration - low elimination Medium range: Peak alcohol concentration - Medium elimination High range: Peak alcohol concentration - High elimination
Alcohol Concentration Back calculation
Low range: blood sample result + low elimination value Medium range: blood sample result + medium elimination value High range: blood sample result + high elimination value
