Cоncerning biliаry excretiоn аnd biliаry clearance, which оf the following is true?
The renаl cleаrаnce оf Trimethоprim was determined in an elderly patient with nоrmal renal function. Following the IV administration of 500 mg of Trimethoprim, urine samples were collected from this patient at different time periods and the results were shown as follows: (16 pts. total) Collection Period (h) Urine Vol. (mL) Urine Conc. (mg/L) 0 - 6 320 116 20 - 28 410 25.7 1. Use the excretion rate method to calculate the (1). Elimination rate constant (k); (5 pts.) (2). Excretion rate constant (kr). (2 pts.) 2. Meanwhile one blood sample was taken from this subject at 6 hour after the IV bolus injection of 500 mg of Trimethoprim. Trimethoprim plasma concentration determined was C6h = 2.32 mg/L. Assume Trimethoprim exhibits one compartment kinetics with 1st order elimination. Calculate the (1). Total clearance (CL); (4 pts.) (2). Renal clearance (CLr). (2 pts.) 3. Trimethoprim is a weak base with pKa of 7.4 and is 44% plasma protein bound. It is known to be a substrate of certain active transporters. (1). What mechanisms are primarily involved in the renal excretion of this drug? Assume GFR = 105 ml/min. (2 pts.) (2). Which of the following is most likely to decrease the renal clearance of Trimethoprim: (a) Active transporter inhibitor, (b) Active transporter stimulator, (c) Urinary acidifying agent, or (d) Urinary alkalinizing agent?
