Drug A, a calcium channel blocker, is 97% plasma protein bound (fup = 0.03); its hepatic plasma clearance is 475 mL/min. Predict the clearance (ml/min) in a patient with hypoalbumenia such that their fup is 0.055. (Use the full equations and do not simplify based on “E” status (i.e low, intermediate or high E).
