Elimination rate true steady-state

The rate of elimination at true steady-state condition is always equal to the rate of infusion. Therefore, the rate of elimination (KX) = X,xK=Q. 

Determine the rate of elimination (KX) at true steady-state condition. 

The uptake clearance constant under conditions of constant environmental exposure, in combination with the elimination rate constant k is useful in determining the steady-state bioconcentration factor and hence the resulting toxic response (see Appendix for formulae). The uptake clearance constant has units of mL g hr and describes the volume of source compartment scavenged of a contaminant per gram of animal per unit time. A true uptake rate constant describes the fractional change in the water...
