title: [One point determination of oral caffeine clearance in patients with liver diseases].
abstract: Caffeine clearance has been determined in 117 volunteers and patients (including 27 patients with liver cirrhosis) after oral application of 366.1 mg caffeine according to conventional pharmacokinetic methods (Cl = D/AUC). The resulting clearance values can be estimated with adequate accuracy from the plasma concentration at 12h for a concentration range of 2.0 to 6.5 mg/l according to Cl max = Doses/C 12h x t 12h x e and for concentrations higher than 6.5 mg/l according to Cl = Vd x (1n (D/Vd) - 1n C 12h/t 12h Vd is estimated from body weight as Vd = 0.42 x BW. "One - point" - estimation does not provide reliable data for plasma concentrations below 2.0 mg/l.
