Weight of Patient in Kilograms by Clark's equation Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Weight of Patient = (Pediatric Dosage/Adult Dose)*68
W = (PD/AD)*68
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Weight of Patient - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight of Patient is a measure of the heaviness of a patient's body.
Pediatric Dosage - (Measured in Kilogram) - Pediatric Dosage is defined as the amount of medicine that should given to the patient according to the pediatrician.
Adult Dose - (Measured in Kilogram) - Adult Dose is the recommended dosage for adult medication use.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Pediatric Dosage: 6.5 Microgram --> 6.5E-09 Kilogram (Check conversion here)
Adult Dose: 10.55 Microgram --> 1.055E-08 Kilogram (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W = (PD/AD)*68 --> (6.5E-09/1.055E-08)*68

Evaluating ... ...

W = 41.8957345971564

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

41.8957345971564 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

41.8957345971564 ≈ 41.89573 Kilogram <-- Weight of Patient

Dose given volume of distribution and area under curve

Go Dose = Volume of Distribution*Elimination Rate Constant*Area Under Curve

Amount of drug administered given apparent volume

Go Dose = Volume of Distribution*Concentration of Drug

Amount of drug in given volume of plasma

Go Concentration of Drug = Dose/Volume of Distribution

Amount of drug administered given area under curve

Go Dose = Volume of Plasma Cleared*Area Under Curve

Weight of Patient in Kilograms by Clark's equation Formula

Weight of Patient = (Pediatric Dosage/Adult Dose)*68
W = (PD/AD)*68

What is Clark's Rule?

Clark's rule is one of the known pediatric medication dosing rules described in the medical literature that utilizes the patient's weight to calculate medication dosage. Other equations that utilize pediatric weight to calculate medication dosing include Salisbury's rule, Penna's rule, and The Body Surface Area rule, while other methods besides Clark's rule that also utilize pediatric age to calculate radiopharmaceutical medication dosages used in nuclear imaging include Young's rule, Webster's rule, and Fried's rule.
