Clinically Important Equations

Identified in This Chapter
X0  1 
1. C ss peak = 
V  (1 − e − Kτ ) 

This equation is developed from the equation in

Lesson 1:

C = X/V
by attaching the steady-state accumulation
factor.

2. C trough = C peak e − Kt

This equation is similar to Equation 3-2 in
