The total body clearance (CL), renal clearance (CL R ), and nonrenal clearance (CL NR ) of caffeine from plasma were determined following the intravenous administration of caffeine (4mgkg −1 ) to ten healthy men (aged 66–86 years) on three separate occasions. Positive correlations were observed between CL and urine flow rate (UFR), between CL R and UFR, and between CL NR and UFR ( r = 0.8947, p = 0.0002; r = 0.8832, p = 0.0003; and r = 0.8920, p = 0.0002, respectively). Previous studies have established similar relationships between CL R and UFR for caffeine and its initial dimethylxanthine metabolites; theophylline, theobromine, and paraxanthine. A relationship between CL and UFR has not been reported previously.
