Levick (1991) presented the following data obtained by Renkin (1977) for the capillary clearance of antipyrine and urea as a function of blood flow in skeletal muscle. Based on this data, which of these solutes’ transport rate is flow limited and which is diffusion limited? Calculate the value of PmS for urea. How does this value of PmS for urea compare to the results presented in Figure 6.5? Explain why the PmS value for antipyrine cannot be found from these data.
