bAllometric scaling with weight (for a reference individual of 70 kg) was used for the CL, Q, Vc, and Vp

cCL=elog6.72+0.21×logGFR88log119-log65+CLSEX+1.06×logWT70, where WT is body weight and 88 is the median GFR and 65–119 is the 95% percentile range of the GFR data and CLSEX = 0 for male and 0.153 for female patients

dVc=elog2.42+VCSEX+VCSTUDY+0.623×logWT70, where WT is the body weight, VCSEX = 0 for male and 0.162 for female patients, and VCSTUDY = 0, − 0.102, 0.00735 for patients with CLBP, DPNP, and OA patients, respectively
