5.6.3.2 Fisher-Modified Wrenn-Lipsztein Uranium Systemic Retention Function
The Fisher-Modified model (Fisher et al., 1991) consists of modifications of clearance half-times from
two biokinetic models: the ICRP Publication 30 respiratory tract model (ICRP 1979) and the Wrenn-
Lipsztein recycling model for systemic uranium (Wrenn, et al. 1989). As shown in Table 5-9, the clearance
half-time of uranium from ICRP Publication 30 lung compartment e to the blood is changed from 0.5 d to
0.03 d or 45 min. The clearance half-time of uranium from the kidney to urine in the Wrenn-Lipsztein
urinary excretion model is changed from 15 d to 6 d.
