Question

The rate of urine flow influences the extent of reabsorption.

(a) True

(b) False

I have been asked this question during an interview.

My query is from Drugs Excretion in chapter Prodrugs & Excretion of Drugs of Drug Biotechnology

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) True

Easiest explanation: A higher amount of urine flow leads to less reabsorption. A lower amount of urine flow leads to more reabsorption. Polar drugs whose excretion is independent of urine pH and are not reabsorbed are unaffected by urine flow rate. Those drugs whose reabsorption is pH sensitive is dependent on the flow rate of urine.
