A GFR-Based Method to Predict the Effect of Renal Impairment on the Exposure or Clearance of Renally Excreted Drugs: A Comparative Study Between a Simple GFR Method and a Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Model

ConclusionsThis study indicates that the predictive power of a simple GFR model is similar to a PBPK model for the prediction of clearance or area under the curve in subjects with renal impairment. The GFR method is simple, robust, and reliable and can replace complex empirical PBPK models.
