The most basic mathematical description of drug distribution and elimination is the one-compartment model. ... One-compartment models utilize a single central compartment and assume that equilibrium is rapidly/instantaneously achieved with tissues. Although the drug in the body, as a single "compartment," cannot be measured, an assumption is made that the changes in blood (or other sampling compartment) reflect a proportional change in tissue drug concentrations. The rate of drug elimination from the central compartment in a one-compartment model is a first-order process. ... In the case of a one-compartment model, [clearance] is linear ... regardless of the mechanism of clearance. 7, record 1, English, - one%2Dcompartment%20pharmacokinetic%20model
