RE: Population PKPD using hair drug concentration
Dear Leonid and Bernard,
Why not treat hair like a urine compartment that is not emptied until the hair
is pulled out with the root? NONMEM user guides contain all you need to model a
"collection compartment" like urine/hair.
Have fun,

Subject: Re: [NMusers] Population PKPD using hair drug concentration
Dear Bernard,
This looks like really interesting problem. Based on the idea that it should be
a long delay, I would start with the transit compartment model (you can google
for the references on this type of models) with the input from the plasma
compartment. The last compartment will represent a barber shop. The number of
transit compartment can be increased until you get a sufficiently long delay.
Observation compartment can be either the last one, or the sum of several,
depending on how measurements are done (at a particular hair length, or by
grinding the hair together before measurement). Depending on whether hair can
eliminate the drug (or it happens only in the barber shop), hair clearance can
be assigned to all or only to the last of those transit compartments.
It could be that a simple effect compartment model with a very slow ke0 could
describe it as well but you should be able to see it by increasing or
decreasing the number of transit compartments.
Regards,
Leonid
