The developed pharmacokinetic model, an extension of the Bischoff--Dedrick model, simultaneously predicts the kinetic behavior of salicylate in cerebrospinal fluid, blood, organs, and tissues. The model, which is entirely different from conventional compartment models, is derived from basic considerations of drug distribution with biochemical and physiological meaning. The dog was studied at three different dosages of salicylate: therapeutic, moderate intoxication, and severe intoxication. ⋯ The effectiveness of hemoperfusion treatment for the severely intoxicated dog by albumin-coated activated carbon and its effect on the kinetic behavior of salicylate in cerebrospinal fluid, blood, organs and tissues were studied. The model was also applied to predict the kinetic changes of salicylate in the body during and after the extracorporeal treatment. The predicted results also agreed with the experimental data.
