Two-compartment model: C(t) = Ae αt + Be βt = fast part + slow part

Regression of ln(C(t)) on t for the slow part (time point 3–7):

(Intercept) ln(B) = − 1.16 ⇒ B = 0.31

(Slope) −β = − 0.0061 ⇒ β = 0.0061

C (t) is the concentration after removing the slow part of the curve:

C (t) = C(t) − Be βt = C(t) − 0.31e −0.0061t

Regression of ln(C (t)) on t (time point 1–2):

Intercept: ln(A) = − 1.42 ⇒ A = 0.24

Slope: −α = − 0.036 ⇒ α = 0.036

AUC for fast part: Aα=Aα=6.7

AUC for slow part: Bβ=Bβ=51.1

Total AUC = 51.1 + 6.7 = 57.8

Unadjusted GFR**: Cl=IAUC=IAUC=23.3

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) adjusted for body surface area (BSA): Cl BSA = GFR · 1.73/BSA = 70.3. Note that the final calculations are based on more decimals than are shown in the intermediate calculations
