Study Notes
Pharmacokinetics and Elimination
- The lungs eliminate volatile drug substances and products metabolized to carbon dioxide and water.
- Excretion is a process in pharmacokinetics, but Destruction is NOT a process in pharmacokinetics.
Urine pH and Drug Elimination
- Alkaline urine (high pH) promotes the elimination of weak base drugs.
Drug Absorption
- Drug absorption is defined as the movement of a drug from the site of administration into the bloodstream.
Renal Function and Biomarkers
- Creatinine is a biomarker of renal function, often used to assess kidney function and health.
