The predictive ability of 2 models of hepatic drug clearance are compared. The parallel-tube model predicts that the steady-state drug concentration following constant rate oral administration increases with increase in hepatic blood flow. The well-stirred model predicts that this parameter is not sensitive to changes in hepatic blood flow. Using the steady-state reservoir drug concentration as the discriminatory index, the predictions of the models were tested in a recirculating isolated perfused rat liver system with lignocaine and pethidone, both of which are highly extracted, as test drugs. The steady-state reservoir concentration of both drugs was constant when flow through the liver was increased from 10 ml min-1 to 15 ml min-1. The well-stirred model more accurately describes the elimination of highly cleared drugs with perturbations of flow than does the parallel-tube model.
