Popis: Background & Aims Solute generation rates, distribution volumes and compartment effects control the in vivo efficiency of any extracorporeal therapy such as extracorporeal liver support (ELS) used to remove bile acids accumulating in acute-on-chronic liver patients. The aim of this study was to identify and to examine kinetic parameters of two major bile acids using mathematical modeling. Methods The kinetics of cholic (CA) and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) were described by one- and two-compartment models with central elimination by decreasing or constant extracorporeal clearance, constant bile acid generation rate, and constant apparent distribution volume. Concentration profiles collected in 13 ELS sessions done in 8 patients were included for model calculations Results For the one-compartment model, the average volumes and generation rates were 30 ± 6 [l], 0.19 ± 0.06 [μmol/min] for CA and 22 ± 5 [l], 0.29 ± 0.08 [μmol/min] for CDCA, respectively. For the one-compartment model and average normalized concentrations, the volumes and generation rates were 25 [l], 0.28 [μmol/min] for CA and 18 [l], 0.37 [μmol/min] for CDCA, respectively. For the two-compartment model, average normalized concentrations, the same initial concentration in both compartments, and assuming a 10% post-treatment rebound, the volume and generation rates were 25 [l], 0.27 [μmol/min] for CA and 19 [l], 0.32 [μmol/min] for CDCA, respectively. Conclusions The generation rate for CDCA is higher when compared to that of CA and independent of the number of compartments. Assuming a constant extracorporeal clearance overestimates generation rate and distribution volume. The kinetic parameters of one- and two-compartment models are comparable for the same bile acid.
