In this article the importance of blood proteins for drug dosing regimes is discussed.\nA simple mathematical model is presented for estimating recommended drug doses\nwhen the concentration of blood proteins is decreased. Practical guidance for drug\ndosing regimes is discussed and given in the form of a figure. It is demonstrated\nthat correction of drug dosing regimes is needed only for when there is a high level\nof drug conjugation with blood proteins and a high degree of hypoalbuminaemia.\nAn example of the use of this model is given.
