Inl increasing numbers investigators are ineas-uring concentrations of certain substances ill arterial and in venous blood and equating arteriovenous (AV) concentration differences obtained from simultaneous arterial and venous samples to uptake or release of the metabolite by a tissue drained by the venous system sampled. Conditions under which AV concentration differences are valid estimates of tissue metabolism are sharply limited and, although the literature does contain ample warning (eg, References 1-3), these limitatiolls seem to have been misutnderstood so often that it was thought a re-examination of the problem might be helfpul. Fundamentally, all such investigations wish to employ the Fick principle (4) which states that if: a) arterial concentration of substance x is colnstant, b) if venous concentration of x is constant, C) if blood flowv is constant and d) if uptake (or release) of x is constant, thenr, input of x (= flow-multiplied by arterial concentration)= output of x (= flow multiplied by venous concentration)+ tissue metabolism of x (where the tissue metabolism term is positive if there is tissue uptake and negative if there is tissue release).Fick, of course, l) roposed this equationas a means of measuring blool flow. The equation can be and is used to find any single characteris-tic whenever all the others are measured inde-pendentlv-, and it is our purpose to consider only its application to estimation of tissue metabolism. It is obvious immediately that AV concentrai-tion differences cannot be equated-to tissue up-take (or release) unless flowN is constant and known. It is correct to speak of changes in
