Elimination rate constant
- Elimination rate constant
Elimination rate constant is a value used in pharmacokinetics to calculate the rate at which drugs are removed from the system.[cite journal |author=Svensén CH, Brauer KP, Hahn RG, "et al" |title=Elimination rate constant describing clearance of infused fluid from plasma is independent of large infusion volumes of 0.9% saline in sheep |journal=Anesthesiology |volume=101 |issue=3 |pages=666–74 |year=2004 |month=September |pmid=15329591 |doi= |url=http://meta.wkhealth.com/pt/pt-core/template-journal/lwwgateway/media/landingpage.htm?issn=0003-3022&volume=101&issue=3&spage=666] ]It is often abbreviated "k" or "ke".
